- You place the stop where it needs to be - where the reason for the trade is no longer valid. E.g. trading a support bounce the stop goes below the support.
- Account Balance * percent/100 = RISK = OrderLots * (|OrderOpenPrice - OrderStopLoss| * DeltaPerLot + CommissionPerLot) (Note OOP-OSL includes the SPREAD, and DeltaPerLot is usually around $10/pip)
- Do NOT use TickValue by itself - DeltaPerLot
- You must normalize lots properly and check against min and max.
- You must also check FreeMargin to avoid stop out

Hi all,
I am trying to find a command/or a systematic way to read into my code the exchange rate of the DEPOSIT CURRENCY to QUOTE CURRENCY (or QUOTE CURRENCY to DEPOSIT CURRENCY whichever is available). I can't find a build in command for this; the closest I could find is 'tick value' via the command MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_TICKVALUE), however this is not what I want.
Any suggestions please?
Best,
M

QUOTE2DEPOSIT = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_TICKVALUE)/(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_LOTSIZE)*Point);
Many thanks indeed. I wanted to perform this conversion in my EA to help my analysis and you have saved me much time and effort which is deeply appreciated
That's great
