The only reason I could think of why this would happen is that there is a text settings file in the \MQL4\Files\ folder that was created by some older version of the Position Sizer. And that file is loaded by your newer version PS. The name of the text file should start with 'PS_NAS100' in your case. Try deleting it and the attaching the Position Sizer again.
Mac is a bit different to manage the files, but the compilation process is the same as windows.
Hm... But how is it different from the installation process on Windows?Mac is a bit different to manage the files, but the compilation process is the same as windows.
First, please move the position sizer files that you extracted to your desktop area. Then, you have to proceed with the installation through the MT5 window.
To do this, follow these steps:
A new window will appear, showing the MT5 data folder.
- Open MT5 on your Mac.
- Click on the "File" option located at the top left corner of the MT5 window.
- From the drop-down menu, select "Open Data Folder."
Once you've completed these steps, you continue the instalation like the Windows procedure.
- In this new window, navigate to your desktop.
- Copy the position sizer files from your desktop.
- Go back to the MT5 data folder and navigate to the "MQL5" folder.
- Inside the "MQL5" folder, locate the "Experts" folder.
- Paste the position sizer files into the "Experts" folder.

Try installing via the MetaEditor. You can run MetaEditor, drag and drop each file to the editor window and then select Save As to save them to the right location accessible to your MT5.
I tried that now but when I compile I get a lot of errors and it's not working properly. Shortcuts don't work and can't apply SL & TP etc
It's included in the archive and should be saved to the MQL5\Files\ folder where MetaEditor is proposing to save the rest of the files.
When assisting Mac users, I have found that the installation process for Position Sizer involves extracting the files to the desktop area. However, with Windows, there is no need to move the files to the desktop. Instead, you can directly move them from the downloads folder to the MQL5\Experts folder.
Hey Envid yes I know where it's meant to be saved but the only way I've been able to save the files there is by opening each file in metaeditor and saving as in the correct location. Unfortunately metaeditor doesn't recognise that particular .ico file so I'm unable to save it there via metaeditor. Unless there's another way I haven't thought of?
When you are saving other files through MetaEditor, can you copy the entire file path to the proposed location? And then open it in a separate window?
Make sure you are trying to trade the correct symbol. For a more detailed explanation, please see this guide:
The offquotes is likely caused by the delay between you click the trade button and the order gets to the server. You can greatly reduce this delay by unticking the "Ask for confirmation" checkbox as it usually takes several seconds for a trader to confirm an order there.
