Position Sizer

Curious..

Yes, its proprietary. This one: https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/50317?source=Site+Profile+Seller#description
There is mentioned, that the custom symbols are supported.

What else can we try?

That's unfortunate...
What formula does your custom symbol show when you try to modify it?

Nothing

Could be the problem?

Yeah, that could be the problem. Please try to change it to ".USTECHCash". However, I'm afraid it'll overwrite your seconds chart with some standard timeframe chart...

The chart is empty after that. And if i delete the formula again, remains empty.. Looks like the history is deleted, but the ticks are coming again..

Sorry, I have no idea how to further help with this, because I don't know how that EA forms the chart.

Please try using the attached version on the symbol without formula (as you did before). It will try to get as much info as possible from the original real symbol (don't forget to enter it via TradeSymbol).

It works! Brilliant!

Can I use this (my personally ) version as stable?
Will you implement the adaption into the original main version later?

You can use this version. However, since it's not tested, I cannot say how stable it will be.
This needs to be tested with "normal" custom symbols (formula-based ones). If everything's good, then yeah, this will be pushed into the next version.

OK, I hope it works with normal symbols as well.

I use the adapted version and let you now, if i see any issues.

Thank you very much for your support and effort, Enivid! I will recomend your site to others

Hi,
I've discovered a really annoying issue, not sure if it's common, happened to somebody else, or if it's Mac specific.
This is about the Position Sizer, version 3.09, in MT5 on Mac OS Ventura 13.6.8.
When I'm on the MAIN tab and manually type in the specific numbers for SL and/or TP, then confirm with the ENTER key, the input is sometimes saved to the field, but most often not. In most cases it reverses to the number that has been there before I tried to over write it.
I can repeat the procedure sometimes 10 times until it eventually gets saved.

PS: I've recorded a short video of the phenomenon, but the .mov file doesn't get accepted as an attachment to the post.

There are two potential causes here:
1. There is an unresolved issue when (very rarely) the panel might get refreshed before the new edit value is saved. There's little that can be done there, but again, this should happen only vary rarely.
2. There is some user-set option that overwrites the field - e.g., ATR-based SL or TP-locked-on-SL options.
Of course, there might be some specific Mac-related cause, but this should be tested. I don't use the Position Sizer on macOS, but I know traders who do so without major issues.

You should now be able to upload .mov files, so please attached the video to understand what's happening there.

I'm not @svob but that looks like a Supertrend.

Here's the file. As I mentioned, it will eventually accept my field input and save it, but it can take from 1 to 20 attempts to get it done. Sometimes it works at first try, but that's the rare exception.

PS: Nope, it still doesn't accept .mov files as attachments. Yes, I logged out and back in, refreshed the page etc.

Please try uploading again. I've modified another setting that could impact that.

Another try. Now it's working.

In this video, the reason is in the fact that the Take-Profit is locked on the Stop-Loss. This means that all the levels follow the current SL-Entry distance at given multipliers. You can turn this off by clicking on the Take-profit button - it will switch from being dark-gray to normal blueish button color.

Oh wow, that works. Many thanks for pointing that out.

I have another question about the "Trailing stop" and "Breakeven" fields in the TRADING tab.

Let's say I want to move my SL to break even when the trade is XXX points in profit. Do I need to specify this when I set up the limit order already (trade has not opened yet). Or can I still set this when the trade is already running?
