Is there a way I can turn off the EA function and just use the calculator? My prop firm which is equity edge don’t allow ea but the position sizer is not really a ea I only use it to calculate my risk very quick

Disable the Live trading in MT4, Algo Trading in MT5 in Common tab, while you loading the EA,
Autotrading should be disabled MetaTrader 4, Algo trading in MT5
MetaTrader 5:
Simple to understand from the scrnshot just reverse it not to work with the EA
If your prop firm doesn't allow attaching EAs to charts at all - even Position Sizer - you can use the indicator version of it:
https://github.com/EarnForex/PositionSizer/releases/tag/2.42
Unfortunately, it is very old and might not be very accurate.
I recommend talking to your prop firm about allowing Position Sizer.
Two days ago, something started happening: when the indicator is active, MT5 lags completely. This has never happened before, but when I turn it off, it goes back to normal. I also have it in MT4 and it doesn't have this problem.
Please read at least last few posts in the thread before reporting the same issue that has already been reported several times (and got answers).
it may happen if you have set the profile folder read only mode. Just create a new profile and save it in different name.. while you load the EA, change the Font. That's it.
Hello I had the issue of MT5 freezing and unistall and reinstall everything and no more issues. But now the hotkeys are not being detected, the only hotkey that worked is the Tab Key to change the type of position from short to long or viceversa. Thank you!
Could you please provide more information on how to reproduce this? Because I've tested this and the BE lines get deleted automatically by the Position Sizer.
Hi Team !
Position sizer 3.13 : Can you enter the number of extra points to add to the breakeven level if you want to capture some minimum profit with the trade. This value is important because when breakeven is occured the SL price reach entry price (same price), if you have commission fee, thus your profit is negative ? Thank you!

I should not work like that.
May be some settings mingled with old settings. Just remove old settings file that is in the "\MQL5\Files" folder then load the EA with default settings and check it please.
Hello mates, When I use the position sizer, I enter $200 in the Input Risk USD field, but in the Result section it shows $139. In other words, it doesn’t open the trade with the risk amount I want. Has anyone else experienced this? What could be the reason or the solution? Because of this, I can’t risk the amount I want in my trades. I’m using MT5, and when I drag the stop-loss, the risk amount I entered keeps changing. It doesn’t change a little — it changes a lot. 
Yep, that was it. I was using an old preset from an earlier version. It is working perfect now. Won't be doing that anymore. Thank you! 🙂
Hey there,,, If you enter 0.03 for that much SL, it would go to above $200. So, it always keeps the lot size less to match within the risk parameter which makes the $ amount less. Use any major currency pair with less SL you will see very near risk $.
