Hello Sergei!

Who answered?

Respectfully, Vladimir.

[MrBrooklin]

I looked through all the posts after my question a few more times, but I didn't see an answer anywhere.

Respectfully, Vladimir.

MrBrooklin:

It seems that this signal module (<Expert\Signal\SignalITF.mqh>) cannot be used on its own, as it always produces results.

What to do: generate an EA based on another trading signal module (e.g. iMA or iMACD) and see how the pending orders behave.

It seems that this module of signals (<Expert\Signal\SignalITF.mqh>) cannot be applied independently, as it always gives results.

What to do: Generate an EA based on another module of trading signals (eg, iMA or iMACD) and see how the pending orders behave.

Thank you, Vladimir for the tip!

Sincerely, Vladimir.

Yes, Vladimir, you were right, the Expiration of pending orders (in bars) function has started to work with the addition of iMA. Thanks again!

Regards, Vladimir.

Hello, I want to calculate the lot size depending on the desired profit in money, with takeprofit in pips = TP, the required profit in money = S

If I divide S by TP, it is not correct.

What is the correct way?

What is correct?

For the loss size, here is the function

/*****************Функция определения размера лота*******************/
double RiskLots(double risk, int SL)
{
  double RiskMony, Lot;
  double tickValue = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE);
  double margin = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_MARGIN_INITIAL);
  double FreeMargin = AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_MARGIN_FREE);
    long accountLeverage = AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LEVERAGE);
    RiskMony = floor(FreeMargin*risk/100);
     Lot = NormalizeDouble(RiskMony*_Point/ndd(SL*_Point*tickValue), 2);
  return(Lot);
}/*******************************************************************/

All you need to do is replace SL with TP
