POSITION SIZER ERRORS AND WARNINGS ON MT4
I followed the tutorial of how to put the position sizer on the MT4 but I got erros when I compile the file.
How do I fix this?
Position sizer version: 3.06
Mt4: 1370
The problem is that you are trying to install the MT4 version of the Position Sizer EA in MetaTrader 5. You can notice that you are in MetaEditor 5 and that your Navigator root is MQL5, not MQL4.

Hello,

I have installed version 3.06 today, and found the when I add a TP, TP2 overlaps with TP1. This doesn't seem to happen when I add any more TP's. I have attached a screenshot for your reference.

hello, @Enivid

leave my suggestion for position sizer EA update

During the negotiations I felt the need to alternate between the SL following the price line and staying fixed at a level, especially in market orders where at the moment of execution the price moves and the stop can be placed in the wrong place, it would be very good a button that SL stays locked in a level and doesn't move and maybe it would be interesting a keyboard shortcut to activate it faster too, that would be amazing!.

I would like to be able to do this without having to go into the settings and disable the function that the SL line follows the price entry line.


maybe something like this...

I notice that but when I download the MT4 setup on the lik you send me it installs the Meta editor 5 and the MT5 aswell.

Discuss the Position Sizer expert advisor here. This EA lets you calculate optimal position size and execute trades based on these calculations. Based on Position Size Calculator, it allows some additional control over the trades it opens. You can ask any questions about this free MetaTrader tool here.

Please refer to this tutorial for the installation process:

Hey. This update would be great. Maybe put some keyboard shortcut to toggle these options.
Thanks for the idea.

MetaTrader 4 can only be downloaded from your broker's website. There is no point in trying to install the MT4 version of the Position Sizer on MetaTrader 5.

Risk Calculator is a different tool and should be discussed in a separate thread.

@Enivid, Hello, Im not sure how the break even function works. I have it set to 250 in the trading tab. Does this mean that when the price goes 250 points in my direction it will automatically change the stop to entry price ? Is there a way to allow for the spread ? So for example I could set it to entry price plus 3 pips (30) points ?

Could you please provide an example with exact price levels of what you'd like to happen?
Right now it works like this for example:
You open Buy at 1.10000.
You set BE to 250.
Price (Bid) reaches 1.10250.
SL gets moved to 1.10000.

Ok so after going back through the chat I saw a screen shot of the tab and realized I was still using version 3.02 lol. The updates You have added are great and for me the spread added to break even is fantastic so thank You very much .
I want to make a suggestion if I may , would it be possible to add a break even button function? To be able to custom break even on each position when adding size would be a dream come true for Me lol.

Not sure what you mean. Do you want a button to set BE manually? There are breakeven scripts for that.
