Kourosh Hossein Davallou 2012.12.07 16:08 #1

Amitt:

I have an EA. I want to change lot size in this EA. it takes 0.001 lot size for currency pairs and 0.10 for metals.

Can anyone help me to change LOT SIZE.

Please find attached file....

Hi Amitt You must add below code

//--- inputs for money
input double             Money_FixLot_Percent          =10.0;         // Percent
input double             Money_FixLot_Lots             =0.1;          // Fixed volume


........


int OnInit()
  {


.......


//--- Set money parameters
   money.Percent(Money_FixLot_Percent);
   money.Lots(Money_FixLot_Lots);
//--- Check all trading objects parameters
   if(!ExtExpert.ValidationSettings())
     {
      //--- failed
      ExtExpert.Deinit();
      return(-8);
     }

Hello, I followed the direction above,

but I still cannot choose lot from expert setting, could you check my code?

Hello urusa7,

Please try to use the SRC button next time you paste any code on MQL5.com.

Regarding your "problem", if you don't specify exactly what error you're getting, it will be very difficult to find any help from users.

Try to be a little more specific about what errors you're getting.
