Do not open, you have to go the specified distance.

They don't open, you have to go through the specified distance.

Do you want to set two stop orders next to the price? If I understand correctly. Don't, at least at the distance of the spread.

No, there are already Buy and Sell orders in the market, at some distance from them.

They do not open, they need to open at a specified distance.

OP_BUYSTOP and OP_SELLSTOP orders are not opened by Ask and Bid, but by the set price.

Alexey Viktorov:
Orders OP_BUYSTOP and OP_SELLSTOP are not opened by Ask and Bid, but by the set price.

They are activated by these prices.

Artyom Trishkin:
Activated by these prices.

Artyom, well look carefully at the code...

Hello.

Please advise how to calculate the lot using MT4 tools for the following example.

A position with 0.1 lot was closed with a loss of -$15.

How much should I open a position with, if I reach 20 pips T/P = 20, the profit will be 20$ + 15$.

That is, how to calculate that the lot should be 0.175 and round up?

There was such a question some time ago:

How to calculate, based on available funds and lot, how many points (in points) the price can pass in minus?

And there was already such an answer:

link formula: Lot=Money/(Stoplos*Tick)
Money - earned/lost
Stoplos - in broker points
Tick - MarketInfo(MODE_TICKVALUE), or SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE);
From here, spin as you like:
Stoplos=Money/(Lot*Tick)
Money=Lot*Stoplos*Tick
