How on the earth do you expect us to know? Do you seriously expect an answer with so little information?

Oh! Sorry, I added the codes but I didn't notice that they didn't appear. I just updated it now, thank you.

Just because you have now added the code, does not make it any more informative.

Please explain in detail what it is you are trying to achieve and what is the problem. Provide details on all the aspects and if possible, provide visual aids such as screenshots.

The code works fine on currency pairs and step index but it doesn't open trades when placed on a volatility indices and boom and crash. So the challenge is not opening trades on volatility indices and boom and crash

I will repeat ... provide details on all the aspects and if possible, provide visual aids such as screenshots.

What specific symbols are you referring to? Show the contract specifications for the affected symbols.

Show the EA inputs being used for each instance of symbol and/or timeframe.

What problems or errors are being reported in the log files?

etc.

Hi Chinwendu Evans ...Pleaase change Min lot to RISK Money management: to improve the code..

#include <Expert\Money\MoneyFixedMargin.mqh>
CMoneyFixedMargin *m_money;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Enum Lor or Risk                                                 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
enum ENUM_LOT_OR_RISK
  {
   lot=0,   // Constant lot
   risk=2,  // Risk in percent for a deal
  };

thanks..
