The position size can't calculate lotsize for synthetics indices instruments like: step index and volatility index.
Unlike forex where the minimum lotsize is 0.01 synthetics indices has many different minimum lotsize and spread works different.
I hope maybe you guys can look into it. Sent my demo account for testing

It's not exactly clear what's you deem wrong here or what kind of issue you are encountering.

Hey i wonder if its smart to add a new feature where instead of placing instant market order or limit order it would be smart to place the order on the current bid/ask price depending on other type - that would be canceled if not filled after X time (configurable) ? To avoid spreads while scalping it seems cool

So it would be adding another order type to instant/limit

This account doesn't have any synthetics. You need to check the account.

So, what you propose is some kind of a hidden pending order controlled by the Position Sizer, right? It's not sent to the broker. But once the current Ask falls to the level where Bid was at the order's creation time (for Buys) or the current Bid rises to where Ask was (for Sells), it sends a real market order. Or, if the condition isn't fulfilled, it cancels it after the given timeout?

If I understand you correctly, the aim is to be able to create limit orders at levels not allowed by the brokers (due to the stop level restriction), right?

Currently, I'm not entire convinced that it's a good idea. In my opinion, they would offer little of value and would lack the main benefit of limit orders (no slippage).

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...

Dear @Enivid ,

I'd like to offer another suggestion to enhance the hotkeys functionality. I often find myself in situations where I open trades with my default Take Profit (TP) (example TP x 2.5 button). However, there are also times when I prefer to set a custom price using the 'P' hotkey.

Kindly make an addition of a new hotkey and update the 'P' hotkey functionality:
When I press 'P,' it would automatically unlock the Take Profit button, allowing me to input a custom price. Subsequently, it would be great if we could create a separate hotkey to lock the Take Profit back to its default value, ensuring a seamless transition between using the locked TP and custom TP without the need to open the panel each time.

This is kind of the same idea that @Lemonart mentioned but with take profits and without the need to access the panel.

Thank you.

Additionally, I've noticed a bug related to dark mode and the Take Profit button when changing the chart symbol frequently while the Position Sizer is loaded. In my default Position Sizer settings, the Take Profit is unlocked and set to dark mode. However, when I switch chart symbols frequently, the Take Profit sometimes locks itself without displaying the feedback color in the panel. I'm not sure if this issue is easily reproducible, but if you need any further information or assistance to help debug and resolve this problem, I'm more than willing to provide it.

Again, thank you so much.
If you need any further assistance I'm more than willing to provide it.

That's a strange bug. I would like to see more details on how to reproduce it. What is the value of the SymbolChange parameter?

Default, SYMBOL_CHART_CHANGE_EACH_OWN: "Each symbol - own settings".

 

[Enivid]

Default, SYMBOL_CHART_CHANGE_EACH_OWN: "Each symbol - own settings".

Could it have been that you switched to a symbol which had TP lock saved to its panel settings file?

 

[Mio]

It might be that the Take Profit button's color behavior does not update the color correctly when switching between symbols.

This link is a youtube video of me attempting to reproduce the error by switching between symbols and locking and unlocking the Take Profit button.

Yes, I see. At the very least, the colors are wrong.

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 does not say anything, just does not execute the trade. Today, I setup a EURUSD trade for 0.90% risk, but it did not execute. There is no Margin issue. Funds are excessive. Please help.

Is there absolutely no output in the Experts tab when you click the Trade button? I need some information to be able to help you. If it just doesn't execute and that's it, then I don't know what I can do here.

I've just checked it and there is absolutely no issue with the Volatility 75 Index and the Position Sizer:

Hello, Enevid.
I have a little problem, may be I just don't know how to do it, please help.
When I choose to open more than one position, and the lines for SL, and all3 TPs shown, the price continues to change, before I opened any trade.
At this time ONLY the first TP line is changing with the price, and two others remain where they appeared first.
I have to click >> button again, to make put them back in accordance with desired calculations.
May be I just don't know how to do it, or may be there is a way to kinda lock the >> button?
Thank you for your great product.

The locked TP button works only on the main TP.
But if your goal is for the TP lines to follow the Entry, then you can just switch the TPDistanceInPoints parameter to true and it will do that.

Hello,

Have been using this position sizer for more than two years and i never needed to change it. I saw it improves update after update and i just love it.

My suggestions are:
1. Add invalidation level. If price reaches this level, all pending orders should be cancelled automatically.
2. Better break even line. The current break even line is only for illustration purpose.

I really appreciate your invested time and effort in this EA, thank you

Some times TP lock color (gray while it's locked) isn't working. MT5

Hi Enivid , Suddenly Today I am experiencing an issue with the Sizer. For some reason its only happening when i load it onto a Nas100 chart. Every other pair seems to be fine. It freezes and the tab is minimized as soon as i load it, its only showing the entry line and it doesn't follow the price it stays in a stationary position. when i delete the EA from the chart. The lines , the face in the corner and the tab cannot be removed from the screen I have to load a template again. I have deleted the files and downloaded the Sizer again and it has not helped. Very strange .
