I have been opposing this for quite a long time now. You can explicitly control stop-loss in non-ATR mode. You can set it where you need it to be, with or without spread.
Position Sizer

- Start date
- Watchers 475
You would need to calculate the distance from entry to that price in points and enter it in the BE field.
Hi,
I am experiencing an issue with the Position Sizer on MetaTrader 5 (Broker: FP Markets, Account Currency: EUR, Instrument: XAUUSD).
When I set a fixed risk percentage on the main panel, it doesn't calculate the position size dynamically. Instead, when I drag and move the Stop Loss line on the chart, the "Position Size" (lots) remains completely frozen, and the "Result Risk" percentage changes constantly. It behaves as if it is locked in points/fixed lots mode.

It would help to see some screenshots or a video recording, but my current best guess is that you are hitting the symbol's minimum or maximum position size and the calculated values stays at it.
No, multiple take-profits only work at trade opening.
You can only use its Breakeven and Trailing Stop features on existing trades.
I don't know what's going on, but when the volatility is hight, the position size just freezes the chart, have to change time frame to kind of reset it, sometimes have to quit it completely and load again! I've tried to make the options lighter but it still happens, specially in Indices and Gold, Forex is ok as long as volatility is low.. What should i do?
Which version of Position Sizer are you using? Is it on MT4 or MT5? Is it on Windows or on macOS?
Which broker do you use?
Could you please attach the .set file with input parameters you are using?
Hi, Its MT5 on Windows 11 25H2, the broker is The5%ers.
SET is in this link: https://mega.nz/file/h7MVjL4b#HjW_T6kjiHMEcnbzFOe8-ZLG_RKonmg3aaFnNPlbnYQ
Also, could it be a conflict with my indicators? Theres quite e few, might be causing a bottleneck, but i also had it freeze on a clean chart, however this is a lot less often.

Happens a lot when the laptop is just on battery, could it be energy settings?

Yes, you can just skip adding the TP on the panel to avoid the TP completely. As for the SL, you can tick the 'Do not apply stop-loss' checkbox on the Trading tab:
Sorry, but it appears that the settings file that you attached is for the cTrader version of the Position Sizer, not for MT5.
Also, which version of the Position Sizer you are using?
Is there any output in the Experts tab log when that freezing happens?
Sorry, here's the right .set: https://mega.nz/file/wqECzD5C#qZ_DZVT12AHixGmAlf-X_Dn9vAGPFaHsKxqLkNLL42M
Its version 3.15, the latest available.
NO, nothing on the expert tab, i just notice it freezes as the candle timer stop counting..
Yes it's USD
Thank you
High volatility times, or if you adjust the chart scale, or if you just leave the chart in background and do other stuff, like browsing etc
One more question - which build of MT5 are you using?
You can find it via the menu Help->About. Here's mine for example:
