It looks like your MT4 installation is missing some standard libraries. Please try reinstalling it or copying over the MQL4\Include\ folder from some other MT4 installation.
I changed a bunch of input parameters and SAVED. How do I make that default instead of having to LOAD the file each time?

You would need to modify the default values in the EA's source code and re-compile it.
Alternatively, you can try creating a chart template with the Position Sizer added with your preferred parameters.
Position sizer doesn't seem to work with Eightcap and MetaQuotes. Is there a reason for this?
Ok. I'm beginning to think it is only Eightcap-Demo or The Funded Trader that is using them as their broker?

The "AutoTrading disabled by server" error is just what it says. It can mean one of three cases:
1. Autotrading disabled entirely for your account.
2. Autotrading disabled specifically for the symbol you are trying to trade.
3. Autotrading was disabled at that particular time. For example, due to it being near some news release.
Your broker will be able to tell you more about the actual case.
Also, I remind you that you can still use the Position Sizer for calculation and then open the trade manually.
1) There is a bug in "Position Sizer.mqh" line 3043:
The m_ChkDoNotApplyStopLoss should be m_ChkDoNotApplyTakeProfit instead.
2) Another issue is the Copy Text shortcut key (Ctrl+C) doesn't work for the textfield on main dialog in Position Sizer MT4 version if Data Window is visible. The Ctrl+C shortcut key will copy the value from Data Window instead. If I hide the Data Window, the Ctrl+C will work correctly for the textfield, so looks like there is shortcut key conflict here between the EA and MT4.
3) About the "TakeProfitsNumber" feature, could you make this tweakable in main dialog instead? Sometimes in the middle of trading, I would switch from opening 2 trades to 1 trade only (and vice versa) depending on the situation, to do this I have to open EA settings dialog and modify the TakeProfitsNumber value which is cumbersome. So it's better if the setting exists in main dialog instead.
Code:
sets.DoNotApplyTakeProfit = m_ChkDoNotApplyStopLoss.Checked();
The m_ChkDoNotApplyStopLoss should be m_ChkDoNotApplyTakeProfit instead.

Thank you for reporting! It will be fixed in the next version.
This is interesting... I will see if it can be fixed or if there is some underlying MT4 issue.
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, there are too many things that would be handy to have in the Main tab, which is already overloaded in my opinion. I will see if it can be done in some unintrusive way.
Hello,
I just downloaded Position Sizer because I had the old version 2.X.X. I noticed there was a new version so I will try it. I was wandering to myself it has the same features as Trade Assistant or this kind of softwares...
I read we need to compile a file in the installation step on your website but it seems to work without doing anything on Windows 10, do you confirm ?
I just dragged and dropped the entire folder to my MT4 folder and double clicked on the MT4 icon to start the assistant.

If you started/restarted your MT4 after having copied the folder to your MQL4\Experts\, then it should have compiled automatically.
Hi there,
I currently use PSC 2.42 with a Keyboard shortcut configured on PSC Script.
But I could not see the Script files in the latest Position Sizer 3.0.
Having a keyboard shortcut's been so convenient to execute trades. Is there any way to configure 3.0 with a shortcut for trade execution with a Script?

The Position Sizer EA doesn't use the PSC-Trader script, but you can set a keyboard shortcut via its input parameters.
