Read volume set in One click trading panel

New comment
 

Hi,


Unfortunately my search didn't yield any results in the MQL5 constants/functions.

Is there any way to read out the current value that was put into the one click trade panel?

Your help is much appreciated.

I am getting back to MQL5 programming after some time of absent, so please be patient with me :)

 
The idea is to use the figure for some visual info panel indicator, which will calculate correct margins, swaps etc.
 
Shame no one replied to this question.  I need this value too.

No

That is impossible since you can't know where the stop will be.

  1. Risk depends on your initial stop loss, lot size, and the value of the symbol. It does not depend on margin and leverage. No SL means you have infinite risk. Never risk more than a small percentage of your trading funds, certainly less than 2% per trade, 6% total.

    1. You place the stop where it needs to be — where the reason for the trade is no longer valid.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.

    2. AccountBalance * 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.)

    3. 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.

    4. You must normalize lots properly and check against min and max.

    5. You must also check FreeMargin to avoid stop out

    Most pairs are worth about $10 per PIP. A $5 risk with a (very small) 5 PIP SL is $5/$10/5 or 0.1 Lots maximum.
