I noticed the quick reaction of TS and decided not to use this but I use BE. As it is not possible to load two EA on one chart you can only put a general EA for all units on a separate Chart, that may be useable.

Hi , I can't install PSC on my Mac. When I try to make a copy of folder PSC from my disk to mt5 folder , it doesn't work. Maybe someone knows how can I make it ?

thanks , I made this , but still doesn't work. I can't make a copy of PSC folder and paste it to mt5 folder. Earlier I had no problems with this and I don't understand what happened to it.
Try using MetaEditor. You can drag file directly to it and the save them - it will propose the correct location to save the files.
Glad to hear that! By the way, I recommend switching over to the Position Sizer EA. PSC is no longer developed.
First let me express my gratitude for you creating such a useful EA, or for several people creating this.
When Max slippage and Max spread are at their default values of "0" does that mean it ignores slippage and spread?
I'm especially interested in entries for buy stop and sell stop.
What I'm trying to find out is that if the EA places a pending buy stop if there's any scenario where the EA could cause a delay of execution, so something like the broker servers ping back to the EA the spread and slippage values and the EA pings back to the servers or anything like that?
Or is it identical to placing the pending buy stop directly in the trading panel of the native MT5 terminal?
I'm asking this for Max slippage and Max spread set at "0" and set at something non-zero. Specifically for entries buy stop and sell stop.
I experienced some pretty massive slippage on a single trade entry recently and I'm just trying to understand if the EA had anything to do with it or if it just was the situation in general and if a pending buy stop placed directly on the trading panel of the native MT5 terminal would have had the same result.
That's the goal here and I really appreciate any help I can get unravelling this or understanding it.

Yes.
It's identical to placing a normal stop order. In fact, what the PS EA does (when you set Entry type to Pending) is it creates a pending order once you click the Trade button or press the trade hotkey. It won't open any trades on its own.
It would have been the same result.
If you are trying to avoid slippage, you need to use limit orders. However, they aren't applicable in some situations, of course.
Correct, but the Max Spread parameter will be taken into account at the time of placing the pending order. When you click the trade button, it will check the current spread against that value and won't create the pending order if the current spread is wider.
No, they have nothing to do with SL or TP. Those are handled by the trading server.
Yes, for instant orders, both parameters are considered.
Thank you for answering 
You mentioned that SL and TP are handled by the trading server.
Lastly, I was wondering, in general, from the trading server side, can SL and TP experience negative slippage, positive slippage, or both? It's a bit of a newbie question, but I'm not 100% clear on it. I'm 99% sure the answer is both

In theory, there shouldn't be negative slippage on TP, since it's handled as a limit order. SL, on the other hand, can and often does experience slippage.Thank you for answering

It is what it is. Trade is disabled. It is disabled either completely for this symbol or for your account. It's best ask your broker about this. There is also a chance that you should be trading on another EURJPY symbol and this one is only for charting.
It doesn't trade automatically. It's a position size calculator panel with some built-in trading functions. You can use it to calculate risk-based position size and then open that position using this EA.
Hello fellow traders!
I'm reaching out to the community for some assistance with a recent setup on my new MacBook. I've successfully downloaded MT5 for trading, and along with it, a position size calculator. However, I've been running into a snag as the position size calculator doesn't appear to be working as expected.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues with a position size calculator on MT5, especially on a MacBook? I'd greatly appreciate any insights or solutions you may have. Let's collaborate and troubleshoot this together!
Thank you

Could you please explain a bit more about what you mean by "doesn't appear to be working as expected"?
