Lots auto calculation based on account and Martingale Transactions

[cape1354]

Lots will increase automatically according to the balance of account balances, and

if the transaction is lost, the next transaction launcher increase by multiplying by the external input variables multiplied by the external input variable.

If I follow the coding below, it is printed " "invalid lots amount for OrderSend function"

Where is wrong?

Please explain it based on the code below, instead of an abstract explanation.

extern double Martingale = 3;

extern double AmountSet = 10000;
extern double LotIncreaseSet = 0.1;

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start(){

if(total<1)                 
 {

    OrderSend(NULL,OP_BUY, Martingale_Function(),Ask,3,0,0,"ma sample",MagicNo,0,Green);
    }
 }

return(0);

Please understand that we don't always have time to deeply analyse everyone's code in great detail.

As a developer, it is also your responsibility do use your own head and research and apply the knowledge gained.

Here is a link that will answer some of the details. In essence, you need to check broker conditions for Minimum, Maximum and Step-values for Lots/Volumes.

How to calculate lots using multiplier according to number of opened orders?

Fernando Carreiro, 2017.09.01 21:57

Don't use NormalizeDouble(). Here is some guidance (code is untested, just serves as example):

// Variables for Symbol Volume Conditions
double
   dblLotsMinimum = SymbolInfoDouble( _Symbol, SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN  ),
   dblLotsMaximum = SymbolInfoDouble( _Symbol, SYMBOL_VOLUME_MAX  ),
   dblLotsStep    = SymbolInfoDouble( _Symbol, SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP );
   
// Variables for Geometric Progression
double
   dblGeoRatio = 2.8,
   dblGeoInit  = dblLotsMinimum;
   
// Calculate Next Geometric Element
double
   dblGeoNext  = dblGeoInit * pow( dblGeoRatio, intOrderCount + 1 );
   
// Adjust Volume for allowable conditions
double
   dblLotsNext = fmin( dblLotsMaximum,                                     // Prevent too greater volume
                   fmax( dblLotsMinimum,                                   // Prevent too smaller volume
                     round( dblGeoNext / dblLotsStep ) * dblLotsStep ) );  // Align to Step value
