How do I make position sizer ea use the max position size per symbol if the calculated position size is bigger than it?

Hi,
I inspected the ea position sizer code
and there is a loop in positionsizertrading.mqh:
-----------------------------------------
in line 220, there seems to be a comparison function for it
if ((sets.MaxPositionSizeTotal > 0) || (sets.MaxPositionSizePerSymbol > 0))
{
// some code here
}

I modified the contents of this function to this:
if (PositionSize > sets.MaxPositionSizePerSymbol)
{
PositionSize = sets.MaxPositionSizePerSymbol
}

But it didn't work..

It's difficult to tell without even knowing which version you are trying to edit - MT4 or MT5. But this feature will be added in the next release of the Position Sizer.

This year, I hope.
You should also add the following line after your PositionSize = sets.MaxPositionSizePerSymbol; :

PositionSizeToArray(PositionSize);

I guess it will work then.
