The issue with SL based calculations is that they don't properly take into account the changes in the account size margin. I like your formula, but I'd suggest that using FreeMargin instead of Balance is useful if multiple currencies are used or multiple trades per currency are used. When the lotsize is based on Balance, multiple trades can exceed the amount of Available Margin. FreeMargin based lotsizes decrease the lots based when multiple trades are pending.
Balance may work better for everyone who isn't using multiple trades, and the values are safe enough to not overload the FreeMargin even with all currencies trading. The way it is written is safe to use it the way I abuse it.
Adding in lotsize the way you describe is a good idea, there was another MM calculation technique that based the percentages in real percentage points regardless of trading currency assuming USD as the base account currency. The two combined would be great. I'm putting my development time to spare (which has been very sparse lately but opening up soon) into Phoenix 6 development.
I'm glad the guides were useful for you.

MM Strategy - Bug Fix
The Decrease Factor Code in the MM Strategy Routine, doesn't work. I have post code https://c.forex-tsd.com/smiles/nerd.png an update to Phoenix_5_7_2a and Phoenix_5_7_2_W. Please click the link for details. If people like it we could make it official. No settings changes required. I would update the Ultimate Guide.

as usual, 3 trades open together. then without reason, two trades close. no errors, no spikes, just like that.

FAQ - Mode 3 - Why did trades 2 & 3 suddenly close.
as usual, 3 trades open together. then without reason, two trades close. no errors, no spikes, just like that.
v5.7.0, default settings, mode3 on EURJPY 15M on FXDD demo account
any ideas?
AZBOfinHere is the code snippet from v5.7.0, preferred settings for EURJPY
if((Symbol() == "EURJPY") || (Symbol() == "EURJPYm"))
{
Mode2_OpenTrade_2 = 18;
Mode2_TakeProfit = 70;
Mode2_StopLoss = 30;
Mode3_CloseTrade2_3 = 55;
The last line in bold means, if trade one is 55 points in loss, close trade2 and 3.
Close 157.6500
Open 157.0900
DIFF. 000.56

How to programming:
In some cases of my tests, the trades are in the winning range an than turned in to loss. So I want to add a SL in the profit range from 10 PIPS if the trades are 50 PIPS in profit, for example.
My opinion: Better a little profit than a loss !
1. I can handle it manuel but I want it...
2. ...automated
But my programming skills are very poor.
Have anyone an idea ?
