Calculating Lots to 0.0 decimal places HELP please.
ubzen:
Use MarketInfo()
You need to check stuff like Broker_Minimum Lots, Broker_Minimum Lot Step, and NormalizeDouble(Lots=AccountBalance()/10000,2)
There's quite a few Lots management codes provided on this forum. I strongly suggest you research some of them.
Thank you. Ive had a search and Ive found a few bits and tried them but I cant seem to get anything to work. Im not a programmer just learning. Any chance anyone can help me out a bit more?
double minLot = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_MINLOT), lotStep = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_LOTSTEP), size = MathFloor(size/lotStep)*lotStep; if (size < minLot){ EA.status = status; return(0); }
- OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,Bid-StopLoss*Point,Ask+TakeProfit*PointEAs should automatically adjust to 5 digit brokers, TP, SL, AND slippage. On a ECN broker, you must open with no TP/SL and then modify.
//++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers. double pips2points, // slippage 3 pips 3=points 30=points pips2dbl; // Stoploss 15 pips 0.0015 0.00150 int Digits.pips; // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips) int init(){ if (Digits == 5 || Digits == 3){ // Adjust for five (5) digit brokers. pips2dbl = Point*10; pips2points = 10; Digits.pips = 1; } else { pips2dbl = Point; pips2points = 1; Digits.pips = 0; } // OrderSend(...

William,
Thanks for your help. Ive tried to put what you said where I think. Im not a coder I just want someone to put it there for me. Call it lazy or whatever but ive spent f******g hours trying to work it out. I cant offer much in return perhaps thats some peoples buzz.

im still struggling with this one. Can anyone heelp me please?
Simplified approach:
double RiskRate = 0.05 ; // 01
// 02
double dOrderSize () // 03
{ // 04
// 05
//< Content /> // 06
//< 1. Result Initialization /> // 07
//< 2. Data Feed /> // 08
//< 3. Size Limit Computing /> // 09
//< 4. Result Validation /> // 10
//< 5. Result Returning /> // 11
// 12
//< 1. Result Initialization /> // 13
double Result = 0 ; // 14
// 15
//< 2. Data Feed /> // 16
double MaxLots = MarketInfo ( Symbol () , MODE_MAXLOT ) ; // 17
double MinLots = MarketInfo ( Symbol () , MODE_MINLOT ) ; // 18
double LotStep = MarketInfo ( Symbol () , MODE_LOTSTEP ) ; // 19
double NominalMargin = MarketInfo ( Symbol () , MODE_MARGINREQUIRED ) ; // 20
// 21
//< !!! Sample !!! 3. Size Limit Computing !!! Sample !!! /> // 22
double RiskValue = RiskRate * AccountEquity () ; // 23
double SizeLimit = RiskValue / NominalMargin ; // 24
// 25
//< 4. Result Validation /> // 26
if ( SizeLimit >= MinLots ) // 27
{ int Steps = MathFloor ( ( SizeLimit - MinLots ) / LotStep ) ; // 28
Result = MinLots + Steps * LotStep ; // 29
} // if // 30
// 31
if ( Result >= MaxLots ) // 32
Result = MaxLots ; // 33
// 34
//< 5. Result Returning /> // 35
return ( Result ) ; // 36
// 37
} // end of function // 38

Thank you very much. I had found a couple of your posts so I knew you were the man to ask. :) Ive managed to solve my problem using
double lot1 = AccountFreeMargin()/10000;
double LotStep = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_LOTSTEP);
double Lots = MathFloor(lot1/LotStep)*LotStep;
its crude but it works. I just need to work out minilots etc.
Again thanks.

Hi All,
Ive been playing with the EA below (Butchered MACD Sample) I want it to place lots based on the size of the available balance, however I want it to be round up to the nearest Lot. ie. if I have £500 in the bank I want it to order 0.10 Lots so I added
Lots=AccountBalance()/10000;
the theory being £500 / 10000 = 0.05 so will give me an order of 0.1 Lots and £1600 / 10000 = 0.16 so will give me an order of 0.2 Lots etc etc. At the minute it only works on full Lots 1.0, 2.0 etc so will only start on a £10,000 balance.
Any ideas???
