Position Size Calculator

[Ben-FX]

@Enivid Hi again, sorry for bothering and ty for listening but i've major problem while placing an order limit/market, execution lvls are completly different from what i set originally

Could you let me know if you can see the gif?

 

[Enivid]

@Ben-FX You probably have still have old line chart objects left from pre-2.32 version of PSC. Press Ctrl+B and remove objects called EntryLine, StopLossLine, TakeProfitLine (without prefixes).

 

[Ben-FX]

Excellent, that solved the issue

by saying w/o prefixes you mean the new ones, right?

It looks like you've attached a wrong screenshot.

 

[Ben-FX]

No no i just want to share everything is in place
Just have to delete stop/entry/tp line on each chart 🙂

As far as i understand since the ObjectPrefix old versions are like different indicator to PSC 2.32/33

Hi all. May I have assistance please? I downloaded the MT4 position size calculator along with the script and so far an error message is shown when I select the compile button. I've downloaded files on Edge and Chrome and gone through the steps of adding the files to my broker (LegacyFX) several times. Any idea of what could be the cause?

Could you please show a screenshot of what the Objects List is showing (Ctrl+B)?


No, there is always only one TP line. If you use multiple TPs, you set them manually or using quick buttons.

Thank you @Enivid. Are there any plans to introduce the lines for multiple TP's in the future?

Here is the screenshot of the ObjectList:

I can see the SL line and make adjustment to level I want. But when I run the script, I get the below alert message.

Not right now.

Please delete the object called "EntryLine" - the first one in your list. It confuses the script. The script finds it first, decides that there shouldn't be any prefix to object names and starts looking for "StopLossLine", which it cannot find, and throws an error.

Did you follow this (there is also a demonstration video for installation process)? What kind of errors do you get when you compile it? Are you sure you are compiling the .mq4 file and not the .mqh?

Makes sense. Removed and all working fine! Thank you again.

Hi, thanks for the assistance. I did follow those steps. Yes, I'm compiling the .mp4 file.

Hi, thanks for the assistance. I did follow those steps. Yes, I'm compiling the .mp4 file.

The screenshot shows .mqh file. Also, earlier you wrote you are trying to compile PSC for MT4, but this the version for MT5 loaded into MQL5 Editor. Anyway, you should be compiling PositionSizeCalculator.mq5, not PositionSizeCalculator.mqh. Also, you can just restart your trading platform and it will get compiled automatically.

Thanks for the reply. I meant MT5. The .mq5 file is highlighted in the photo. I've restarted the platform and selected the PSC in the Navigator to add to the chart and it won't open. Any idea what the cause is?

 

[Enivid]

The .mq5 file is highlighted in the photo.

The MQL5 Editor doesn't compile the highlighted file when you press the Compile button - it compiles the currently open file, which is .mqh in your screenshot.

What does it write in the Experts tab when you try to add it to the chart? Are you sure you aren't trying to run the PSC-Trader script instead of attaching the PositionSizelCalculator indicator?

I see. When I double-click on the PSC tab, it hasn't opened so far. Insider the expert advisors tab, I have advisors and examples sub-tabs.

Dude. It'll not show anything in view. the script will take order according to the Indicator you attached.. Today is market Closed so you could not see any difference. But see the Journal Tab in the Terminal window. you'll understand what's happening..

 

[EnrichWave]

Sorry I missed one thing.. attach the Indicator in one chart.. and drag the script. You'll see what's happening in "Journal" tab of Terminal Window

PS: You can set the Hotkey for the script to run. so it'll be easy to manage.

Kind Regards.

Thanks for the assistance. I figured it out.
