What is the correct way to get the 1% of the account?
you are over thinking it .... divide account balance by 100.
divide account balance by 100.doesn´t work.
When I use this value (account/100) and put this in "Alert", it say me the value. But when I use this value to determine the lots in OrderSend ((Account/100) and then divide this /SL), it does not work. The way I said before it does.
My question is: using the rule of 3 (Y*X/100), that worked, is the right way, or I can have a problem later?

I think the issue is with your method of calculating the lot size.
As SDC says, AccountBalance() / 100 is most definitely 1% of your account balance.

Of course it works.
Your question is in your title

What is the correct way to obtain a percentage in MQL4?
I see rule of 3 it work (Y*X/100), but is this the right way? (I just want to confirm).
When I use "X = y%", have the problem of two "=" signs (X=X=Y%;). It does not allow to write "X*1%" . Soo, What is the correct way to obtain a percentage in MQL4?
Thank you in advance
