Every time I click on the position sizer tool it goes away. I have it downloaded successfully on my desktop now I want it on my MacBook. I Compiled the file and its right under Expert advisors on my MT5. But When I click it, it doesn't do anything. Any clue where I messed up?

What does it output in the Experts tab log when you try to attach it?

Hi,

I'm trying to add the position sizer to my chart, but it creates an error, see screenshot attached. What can I do here?View attachment 27581
That's a very peculiar error. Does this happen on all charts? Did you change either DefaultPanelPositionX or DefaultPanelPositionY parameters?

Could you please run the attached script on that chart and let me know what it outputs?

While we click close button. "Do you want exit Position Sizer" alert will be more helpful.
If I get that implemented it would have to be turned on via an input parameter, but then again, would anyone switch a parameter just for that?

Could someone else please share their thoughts on this feature proposal?

Yeah. having that option via input parameter will be nice one. Because when we accidentally click on that close. it close instantly. when we use less size screen. while we try to move any drawing that we drawn accident click happens.

BR.

Hi I hope everybody is having good time.
I'm new to Position sizer EA and it seems really helpful. But unfortunately I am not able to place order. I tried both on MT4 and MT5 and same unknown error that when I place order I hear a alert sound and nothing else. I've recorded video for you people to better understand it and share via google drive links below:

MT4: https://drive.google.com/file/d/145Gl0yM2kt_Zki4tdCHOoMms68xF4l_M/view?usp=sharing,
MT5: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t6kjaG2PBErjHQmPcNHYD2XWnEM_SXlq/view?usp=sharing

Can you please guide me what's wrong?

I have allowed DLL imports, enabled Algoo trading .

Thank you for your time

Ah I found the issue there for MT4 and on MT5 it's because of Position Sizer (NDX100,M5) Error sending order: auto trading disabled by server.

Thank you and specially EarnForex for this nice thing

Thank for looking into it.
I didn't make any changes myself, just compiled it and tried to run it. I've tried on a EURUSD chart with the same result, and ran your script, see screenshot attached.Screenshot 2024-03-05 074713.png

What if you try to close all charts, then open a new chart and try adding the EA there?

Could you please let me know more details about your setup? Windows, macOS, Linux? PC or Mac? Which build of MT5 are you using? Did you download a compiled .ex5 of the Position Sizer or did you compile it from the source code?
Sure, Windows 11 setup, PC. I'm using build 4209 (note that it's 5%ers propfirm branded).
The file I downloaded is from here: https://www.earnforex.com/metatrader-expert-advisors/Position-Sizer/#Downloads and I've followed the instructions to install/compile as mentioned in the video on that same page.
