Hi All,

I would like to add to an existing and working MQL5 EA the ability to calculate the lot size based on a risk percentage. Or in other words how many percent of the account I'm willing to lose for each deal.

Here are some key elements of my EA setup:

The base currency is EUR

Trading pair is EURJPY

Leverage is 1/100

SL is fixed at 50 pips

Target risk percentage per deal should be a variable set by default on 5%  

 

The below formula seem to be the one needed to achieve my lot size calculation but I'm not sure. 

Lot Size = Amount Risked / Number of Pips x Pip Value 

 

I tried the created the code myself and here is where I stopped: 

Basically I need help to compete the "//Calculating Lot Size based on SL and Risk Percentage" part of the code. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions.  

 

Different Variables for the lot size calculation: 

input int      StopLoss=50;               // Stop Loss
input double   RiskPercentage=5;          // Lots to Trade

int STP, TKP; 
double LotSize;
double Pips;



//--- Let us handle currency pairs with 5 or 3 digit prices instead of 4
   STP = StopLoss;
   TKP = TakeProfit;
   if(_Digits==5 || _Digits==3)
     {
      STP = STP*10;
      TKP = TKP*10;
     }
   return(0);
  }

 My Buying Script

if(Buy_Condition_1 && Buy_Condition_2)
     {
         // any opened position?
         if((Buy_opened)||(Sell_opened))
           {
            //Alert("We already have an open Position. Oportuinity passed.");
            return;    // Don't open a new Buy Position
           }
           
         // Calculating Lot size based on SL and Risk Percentage
         
         MqlTick latest_price;
         SymbolInfoTick(_Symbol,latest_price);
         
         Pips = (latest_price.bid - STP)/_Point;          
         
         double AccountBalance = AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_BALANCE);
         double TickValue = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE);
         LotSize = (AccountBalance * (RiskPercentage/100))/(Pips * TickValue);  
         
         Print("Pips ", Pips, " Acc Bal: ", AccountBalance," Tick Val ", TickValue," Lot Size ", LotSize);      
         
         //Executing the Trade 
         ZeroMemory(mrequest);
         mrequest.action = TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;                                    // immediate order execution
         mrequest.price = NormalizeDouble(latest_price.ask,_Digits);             // latest ask price
         mrequest.sl = NormalizeDouble(latest_price.ask - STP*_Point,_Digits);   // Stop Loss
         mrequest.tp = NormalizeDouble(latest_price.ask + TKP*_Point,_Digits);   // Take Profit
         mrequest.symbol = _Symbol;                                              // currency pair
         mrequest.volume = LotSize;                                                  // number of lots to trade
         mrequest.magic = EA_Magic;                                              // Order Magic Number
         mrequest.type = ORDER_TYPE_BUY;                                         // Buy Order
         mrequest.type_filling = ORDER_FILLING_FOK;                              // Order execution type
         mrequest.deviation=100;                                                 // Deviation from current price
         //--- send order
         OrderSend(mrequest,mresult);
         // get the result code
         if(mresult.retcode==10009 || mresult.retcode==10008) //Request is completed or order placed
           {
            Alert("A Buy order has been successfully placed with Ticket#:",mresult.order,"!!");
            SendNotification("BBWP added a new Buy order!");
           }
         else
           {
            Alert("The Buy order request could not be completed -error:",GetLastError());
            ResetLastError();           
            return;
           }
        
     }

Hi, I want to develop a custom SMC (Smart Money Concepts) EA for MT5. My budget is $100. Here are the strategy requirements: 1. Auto identification of BOS, CHoCH, Order Blocks (OB), and FVG. 2. Auto entry when price returns to OB/FVG. 3. Auto SL above/below OB and TP based on Risk-to-Reward ratio (1:2, 1:3). 4. Risk Management (Risk % per trade or fixed lot size), Trailing Stop, Break-Even, and Max Spread filter. 5
I need an experienced MQL5 developer to build a prototype MT5 Expert Advisor called RiskLock. The software should enforce user-defined trading risk rules before trades are executed. It should support risk percentage or fixed monetary risk, calculate position size using account equity, entry price, stop loss, tick value and contract specifications, block or reduce oversized trades, and include daily loss limits

Project Overview I have an existing MT5 Expert Advisor (EA) written in MQL5. The source code ( .mq5 ) will be provided. The underlying strategy is a trend-following system that performs well during trending market conditions, but requires professional quantitative research to improve its ability to identify and avoid highly sideways/range-bound market conditions. The objective of this project is not to build a new EA
I am looking for an experienced MQL5 Expert Advisor (EA) developer to analyze an existing trading setup and develop a similar automated trading robot. Project Overview I have access to a demo trading account where trades are being executed automatically. The trading results look very promising, but I do not know exactly what strategy, logic, indicators, or trade-management rules are being used. I will provide access
Most of the expert is already coded . Create a panel to show the Ratio for the Range . Trigger is based on ratio . Show Distribution / project starts after we clear Distribution
