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;
           }
        
     }

Hello, I have two Expert Advisors (EAs) that I'm migrating to my MQL5 VPS. I need a program that I can run on a separate chart or other interface to: - Allow EA #2 (with the magic number) to trade only during the Asian session. Therefore, EA #2 needs to be blocked during all other sessions. - Allow EA #1 to trade without restriction. Thank you
Labouchere System has many series and can transfer the Units to any other Series when needed (this function is very important). Building a dedicated SeriesManager class to handle all eight arrays would be very useful to make the unit transfers "atomic," so the logic is bulletproof and we never have to worry about data errors during the series transitions. The coders who really knows this cancellation sytem can apply
