Can someone adjust this lot size calculator indicator

Why did you post your MT4 question in the
Root /
MT5 Indicators section
instead of the
MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)

Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon. - Per 2.1.3, uses TickValue by itself (assumes TickStep equals Point.) Also per 2.1.4 assumes LotStep is one of three possibilities.
- In code:
Risk depends on your initial stop loss, lot size, and the value of the pair.
- You place the stop where it needs to be - where the reason for the trade is no longer valid.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 but it takes account of the exchange rates of the pair vs. your account currency.)
-
Do NOT use TickValue by itself - DeltaPerLot
and verify that MODE_TICKVALUE is returning a value in your deposit
currency, as promised by the documentation, or whether it is returning a value
in the instrument's base currency (EUR, in this case).
MODE_TICKVALUE is not reliable on non-fx instruments with many brokers. - You must normalize lots properly and check against min and max.
- You must also check FreeMargin to avoid stop out
- Use a GUI EA like mine (for MT4): Indicators: 'Money Manager Graphic Tool' indicator by 'takycard' Forum - Page 6
- In code:
Risk depends on your initial stop loss, lot size, and the value of the pair.
- Why do you need to see more than one? I think the GUI (2.2) would be better choice.

Oh i have never posted on this site before, i just thought it was named MQL5 i didn't even know there is MQL4. Looks like i have made a right balls of this!
I'm not used to coding, i had a look at the code and could create 2 new inputs with this:
extern double StopLoss1 = 20;
extern double StopLoss1 = 15;
This doesnt show anything extra on the chart, like what i was looking for is it to show this:
30SL 1% risk 1.00 (this is the standard line it shows)
15SL 1% risk 0.50
10SL 1% risk 0.33
Just wanted to see different lot size for different stop loss sizes with the same 1% risk.
I'll check out your indicator too

- Your attached files have extensions MT4 and EX4
- Adding inputs does nothing! You have to use them in new computations and add those result to the output (comment.)
- Welcome. When you post code please use the SRC button! Please edit your post.

Obviously you can't have two variables with the same name.

Hi, im not sure if i have posted in the right place. This lot size calculator has 2 inputs, one for stop loss and one for risk which is fine and it shows you lot size based on that on screen. What im looking for is to be able to see multiple stoploss and lots size on screen.
