Look for ...

Thank you. But that's not what I'm looking for at all.

Apparently I again failed to formulate the question correctly :(

I'm interested in how to extract position information from a ReportTester.xlsx or .tst file .

What you suggested is not in the report.

   //лот = процент риска от баланса / (размер стоплосса * Размер минимального изменения цены в валюте депозита / Минимальный шаг изменения цены в пунктах)
   eLot=AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_BALANCE)*eRisk/100/(MathAbs(ePrice-eStopLoss)*SymbolInfoDouble(eSymbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE)/SymbolInfoDouble(eSymbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE));

Thank you, Alexey, for the code! Tomorrow I will go into your formula in more detail.

You're welcome)

Here price and loss are prices. If your loss is in pips, use point.

Alexey, if I convert stop loss to points, I get nonsense. The thing is that in the script I used a formula found on the Internet. I don't remember where, it was just a long time ago. I made a table in Excel using this formula and used it when necessary. Here is how it looks like:

That's why I turned to the community to clarify how true it is. The formula itself in the Exel table looks like this:

лот = (баланс * риск (в %) * 0,01) / (стоп-лосс (в пунктах) * курс валюты (в моем случае в руб.))

Regards, Vladimir.

Vladimir, everything works

input int eLoss=2000;
input double eRisk=5.0;

double eLot=AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_BALANCE)*eRisk/100/(eLoss*SymbolInfoDouble(eSymbol,SYMBOL_POINT)*SymbolInfoDouble(eSymbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE)/SymbolInfoDouble(eSymbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE));

Vladimir, everything works

Alexey, sorry, but we did not understand each other. The misunderstanding was more on my part. I thought that you were recommending to apply a point in my function. ))

Regards, Vladimir.

Vladimir, everything works

Lots of divisions without checking the divider to zero. Explosive.

Many divisions without checking the divider for zero. Explosive.

Thanks, Artyom, for the tip! I will definitely add the check.
