Lot size on USDNOK

New comment
 

Hello

I'm using a practice account with OANDA and MT4 plateform. 

I'm creating some report of my own and i got a trouble with LOT size on USDNOK.

 I calculate the profit like : (open price - deal close price )  * 1000. 

All my lots are 0.01.

 

It works for USDEUR and USDCAD nut not for USDNOK.

It seems that the 0.01 LOT for USDNOK is actually 180/181 instead of 1000. 

 

 

Any idea ?

 

Thanks

Nicolas 

 
nicolas74: I calculate the profit like : (open price - deal close price )  * 1000. 
  1. Because 1000 is a constant and unrelated to the pairs. On EURUSD 1/Point = 1000 or 10,000 depending on 4/5 digit broker. On USDJPY 1/Point = 1/100 or 1/1000. Same for your pair. Don't hard code numbers.
  2. Even if you adjusted it correctly, your calculation is invalid unless your account currency matches the base pair. EURUSD on a USD account is always $10/pip/std lot. EURJPY on a USD account varies with price. Don't hard code numbers.
  3. Even if you adjust for those. The size of a lot (100,000 or 10,000) depends on the account, std or mini. Don't hard code number.s
  4. Remember there is always OrderProfit()
profit like : (open price - deal close price ) * DeltaValuePerLot() * OrderLots(); // Sell assumed.
//double PipValuePerLot(string   pair=""){return(DeltaValuePerLot(pair)*pips2dbl);}
double   DeltaValuePerLot(string pair=""){
   //{Value in account currency of a Point of Symbol.
   // In tester I had a sale: open=1.35883 close=1.35736 (0.0147)
   // gain$=97.32/6.62 lots/147 points=$0.10/point    or $1.00/pip.
   // IBFX demo/mini       EURUSD TICKVALUE=0.1 MAXLOT=50 LOTSIZE=10,000
   // IBFX demo/standard   EURUSD TICKVALUE=1.0 MAXLOT=50 LOTSIZE=100,000
   //                      $1.00/point    or $10.0/pip.

   // https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/127584 CB: MODE_TICKSIZE will usually return the same
   // value as MODE_POINT (or Point for the current symbol), however, an example
   // of where to use MODE_TICKSIZE would be as part of a ratio with
   // MODE_TICKVALUE when performing money management calculations which need to
   // take account of the pair and the account currency. The reason I use this
   // ratio is that although TV and TS may constantly be returned as something
   // like 7.00 and 0.0001 respectively, I've seen this (intermittently) change
   // to 14.00 and 0.0002 respectively (just example tick values to illustrate).
   // https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/135345 zzuegg reports for non-currency DE30:
   // MarketInfo(chart.symbol,MODE_TICKSIZE) returns 0.5
   // MarketInfo(chart.symbol,MODE_DIGITS)   return 1
   // Point    = 0.1
   // Prices to open must be a multiple of ticksize
   //}
   if(pair == "") pair = Symbol();
   return( MarketInfo(pair, MODE_TICKVALUE)
         / MarketInfo(pair, MODE_TICKSIZE) ); // Not Point.
}
 
Thanks a lot for the infos
