Position Sizer

[Enivid]

Yes exactly a button to set it manually and not by pre set points. How do scripts work and how can i apply a script ?

You can use our Breakeven script then. You just install it and set a hotkey to it, and then press the combination whenever you want the BE applied.

Retina display?

As in a Apple Retina display? I do have a Macbook, and I am running Windows through Parallels. However, the issue is present on an external display and on my laptop Retina display too.

Most likely, your MetaEditor has no rights to write to its data folder. Make sure you are running it under correct user and that the access rights to the data folder are set correctly. Perhaps, this can be solved by reinstalling MetaTrader.

Hi,
I am taking The5ers.com funding challenge and using Earn Forex Position Sizer on MT5.
Problem is that it executes all trades with 0.01% risk, but it does not execute any trade with 1% risk. Please help.

As long as the CFD is properly configured by the broker, it should work fine with that CFD. What kind of problem are you experiencing?

What does it say in the Experts tab when it fails to execute the trade? A likely reason is that there isn't enough margin for that trade.

It's quite clear that you didn't copy all the files from the downloaded archive to your MQL5 folder. Please follow the installation instructions precisely in order to avoid these compilation errors.

Amazing EA! Thank you. Potential bug to report:

Using MT4, when I change timeframe (eg. M15 to M5 or vice-versa):

1. the EA stops working
2. bottom left text disappears
3. if I click "Instant" button the +- on the entry textbox toggles from visible to invisible (I know, weird!).

Nothing is shown in Journal.

Below is a screenshot of what I see after changing timeframes and clicking the "Instant" button once.

What is the output in the Experts tab when that happens? The Journal tab is irrelevant for this.

Sorry about that..... There was nothing in the Experts tab either.
Got me thinking though, deleted other indicators, found an incompatibility with a different indicator I was using. Went to the other indicator's website, found there was a new version, updated, now allows Position Sizer to work as expected.
Thanks for the prompt response, and for the great and useful tool.

Could you please attach a screenshot of the entire chart and the error message?

As you see SL and entry price have 7 pips difference but when i click Trade, I get the "Stop-loss problem: (Too close!)"
i changed SL to different positions to get different distances between SL and entry and it seems i cant open positions with lower than 12 pips distance. i want to open positions with lower distances ( like 6 or 9 or ect ). i also checked the Margin tab for "Maximum position size by margin" and its 50 lots, and i tried opening a manual position of 10 lots, to check if broker let me do that and it worked just fine. so i cant find the problem why im getting this error and how to solve it.
ive uploaded the photos of Margin and Main tab below.


thank you in advance

The problem isn't the position size. The problem is that your stop-loss is too close to the entry price. Each symbol has a its own stop level value defined by the broker. If the distance between the entry and the SL is less than that stop level, the platform doesn't allow opening a trade.

BTW, I recommend updating your Position Sizer to version 3.06.
