Setting the Breakeven field on the panel to 0 should be enough. Are you sure, the SL is being moved by the same instance of the

If the default Breakeven value is 0 it will not move to breakeven. Please check do you have attached EA with any other chart that has some BE value.

I'm not sure what your screenshot says. Reinstalling won't probably help here. Could you please take a screenshot of the Experts tab of the Terminal subwindow?

I am aware of PS being able to surpass broker size via multiple trades - but is there a setting that allows me to take the maximum permissible size without creating multiple trades?

eg:
- broker max size is 100 lots
- I attempt to place trade (with 1% risk set via SL) and PS calculates trade size to be 110 lots
- So instead of submitting trade of 110 lots and trade being rejected, PS submits trade of 100 lots?

Isn't that how it works by default?

If you enable Maximum position size button in the input parameters (ShowMaxPSButton), you will have a button on the Main tab to do that.

Hello,

I'm trying to place a trade on MT4 but as I execute the trade by pressing "T" and clicking execute, MT4 makes a weird sound and doesn't execute the trade at all. Have I installed it wrong?

Check the Experts tab of the Terminal subwindow - what does it say there?

'Surpass broker max position...' Can you explain this please. will the EA open multiple positions according to your risk%? how many trades? or must you enter multiple trades manually?

To surpass broker's max position size with multiple trades, you just need to set the SurpassBrokerMaxPositionSize input parameter to true. The Position Sizer EA will open multiple positions automatically when you execute the trade.

Hi Enivid, One little bug.
If we set ShowAdditionalSLLabel = true and DefaultSL = 10 points, SymbolChange = Keep panel as is.. when we change the symbol between AUDJPY, GBPJPY the SL Line ShowAditional $, % not working properly.

would it be due to the small account size? and risking more than I'm allowed to?

It could be due to a number of reasons. But without knowing what the EA says when you tell it to trade, I have no idea about the underlying issue.

Hi @Enivid,

I've found a bug.
After opening and closing a trade, the 'position size' aka lot size field no longer updates when changing the stop loss level.

The attached screenshots show this.

If you try to set the Risk again (either % or $) after this, does it start to recalculate the Position Size again?
Could it be so that you modified the Position Size manually at some point? If you do that, it fixes the Position Size at that value until you modify one of the Risk fields.
I couldn't reproduce this issue.
