How do you mean it is not available? MaxPositionSizeTotal has nothing to do with that. You shouldn't modify it unless you are willing to restrict the total volume of the trades the Position Sizer will tolerate in an account.
I'm getting lots of errors message while trying to compile

I've fixed it already
MT5 3.10 Translated to Portuguese-Brazilian (PTBR)
MT4 3.10 Translated to Portuguese-Brazilian (PTBR)
I’ve fully translated both Portuguese.mqh files. I also translated the .mq5 and .mq4 files, just as I did with previous versions. However, I’ve encountered a new issue: the .mq5 file from the original link (https://www.earnforex.com/mt5-expert-advisors/Position Sizer.zip) appears to be corrupted. It won’t compile.
It’s likely that the .ex5 file works, but the distributed .mq5 file is faulty, which prevents me from completing and compiling the translation. Could you check and update the files to ensure they compile correctly? That would help me finalize the translation.
Thanks in advance for your help!
MT4 3.10 Translated to Portuguese-Brazilian (PTBR)
- Fixed Portuguese.mqh missing the new inputs.
- Translated new inputs in Position Sizer.mq5 and mq4

Hi @Enivid ,
I tried compiling the MT5 version on my end and received some warnings and errors. However, after your reply, I had a friend compile the translated 3.10 version, and it worked correctly on their system. This suggests that the issue might be specific to my local setup.
Are you also able to compile the MT4 and MT5 translations without any issues? If so, then everything is set on your side, and you can update the MT4 and MT5 Portuguese.mqh files accordingly.
Thanks for your help!
If you don't need to see the position size, you can just switch to another tab or minimize the panel.

I mean if there was an option to just key in the risk percentage only without necessarily viewing the risk in money form.
You can enter the percentage risk via input parameters without seeing the money risk or position size (as long as you on some other tab or have the panel minimized).
Please use the search feature. It's just 3 lines of code (2 in Position Sizer.mqh and 1 in Position Sizer Trading.mqh).
Hello, my broker has a max position size of 200.00, but during certain times that max position size is reduced to 60.00.
When I try taking trades during those times with a lot size of 500.00, I expect that the EA will split the trades using 200.00, but it gives me an error because the broker already reduced the max PS to 60.00, but the EA isn't picking it.
What solution do you think will solve this issue easily, please? Thank you for your patience and response

Yes, currently the Position Sizer reads the maximum symbol data only once - when it's first initialized on the chart.
You can change that by finding the call to the
GetSymbolAndAccountData() function in Position Sizer.mqh and removing the condition it's enclosed in.Similar threads
