Hi
I have been testing my ea with an automatic lot sizing code without problems on mt5. I removed mt5 from my pc and reinstalled it, since then i have been getting errors saying that the account funds are insufficient when the ea tries to place trades. My calculations dont use OrderCalclMargin, i have code for that. My code uses AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LEVERAGE). When i change the leverage in strategy tester my code recognizes this and adjusts as it should. All the below looks good to me but mt5 strategy tester seems to disagree in the last line. Can anyone tell me where mt5 is getting that margin calculation from in the last line in the below log? if ACCOUNT_LEVERAGE is not the relevant leverage multiplier then what is? I know that there are other leverage multipliers but none of the symbol leverage properties match up with the results in the last line below.
