Position Sizer

[Y59]

I can't change the colors no matter how hard I try to click on it. What is the solution?

Thank you.

There is a bug in the 3.03 version.
"UseCommission ToSet TPDistance. For TP button" - When set to "True", the TP doesn't work. It only works when it is set on "false".

Are you on Mac? The only solution is to change them in the source code, which is quite easy as the colors are set among other input parameters at the top of the Position Sizer.mq4 file.

Could you provide more information about what you are doing and what is happening? Also which version of MetaTrader you are working with?

After installing it on MT4 and also after set a hotkey to open , How can I set hotkey to activate my order?

indicator and scripts

It's not indicator or script. It's an EA.

How can I set hotkey to activate my order

You can set the parameter for the "TradeHotkey: Execute a Trade"
You can check the details here.

First, there is a bug in MT4 that makes it so that if you are using either Shift+ or Ctrl+ combination and then the order confirmation window appears, the hotkey will only work the first time. The solution here is to either avoid using Shift+ and Ctrl+ in the hotkeys or untick the confirmation checkbox.

Second, plain hotkeys, such as T or Z should work without problem every time. It's been thoroughly backtested and I haven't encountered a single case when it doesn't work. There could be two possibilities here: a) the chart isn't in the focus when you press the hotkey (it should be in the focus); b) the hotkey works, but the order cannot be executed due to some reason (see the Experts tab of the Terminal subwindow for the reason).

PS: It's impossible to use the Alt key for keyboard shortcuts in EAs because the Alt key triggers the MetaTrader's menu.

Is there any way i can add a stop loss and take profit by defining the number of pips instead of the actual price level? e.g. if i have a pending order at 1.0000 i can say 10 pips take profit and 10 pips stop loss and it will work out the price levels for me?

I'm not sure why you are installing the old version (Position Size Calculator). In the new one (Position Sizer), it is pretty straightforward - you set all hotkeys via its input parameters.

Yes, set SLDistanceInPoints and TPDistanceInPoints input parameters to true.

I'm glad you found a way! Which broker are you using?

Sorry for the late reply... I'm using Oanda.

My Position Sizer window flickers with the price movement, whenever there's a new tick. It's very distracting and annoying. It seems to only happen while the lines are showing.
Any idea as to what is causing this issue and how to make it stop?
I am using the latest version 3.03 on MT4.

It looks like your MetaTrader installation is missing some standard library files. Try re-installing the platform.

No, it happens without any other indicators on the chart.

@Forex Jedi And you are running it on Windows? Sorry, I have no idea why the panel would flicker in your case. Did you try installing it on a different MT4 instance?
