Position Sizer

[Safi Ullah]

Hi, I am using Position Sizer EA on MT5 for a very long time this is the first time i am facing this issue. i installed new mt5 in my pc and it works fine except it is not working when i press the hotkeys which have 2 buttons like "Shift+S" but the "S" Hotkey works fine which shifts the SL line. and when i use "Shift + S" it moves the line which means mt5 or EA is taking it as "S" Alone.
I have same mt5 version and it is still working fine the copy of EA was also the same. The OS is Windows 10.

Kindly tell me the solution of this!

You need to remove your beta build MT5 and install a normal release version of MT5. Beta builds tend to contain serious bugs.

It is not beta version. It is latest one!

Issue with Shift + T not executing market order (MT5 - v3.11)


Hello, I'm using Position Sizer v3.11 on MT5. Everything loads correctly — no errors in Experts tab, EA is active (blue hat), autotrading is enabled, and "Ask for confirmation" is disabled.


When I press Shift + T on a valid chart (e.g., NAS100), nothing happens. The panel shows the lot size correctly (e.g., 0.2), and parameters like Max Spread, Slippage, and Entry Distance are all set to 0 to disable them.


No trade is opened and there are no error messages. I can manually trade and the EA updates lot size correctly when I move SL line, so the logic is working.


Any ideas or solutions? Thank you!

@Safi Ullah It's a beta build. It has some incompatibility issue with the code. It will either get fixed when a release build is out or there will be announcement of how the code should be changed for it to work again. Meanwhile, it's recommended to use only release builds. Unfortunately, the demo platform installed from MetaQuotes always installs a beta build.

Enivid, If I delete the TP values on the text box fileld, it removes the TP line and it's values on the chart (like point distance and RR lables) which is fine.. But when I delete the TP line on the chart it doesn't removes its values(points distance and some other lables of TP) on the chart still persists. And if suppose I have selected the SL line too while delte can you remove only the TP line and it's values from the chart also in the PS EA's TP field.?

That's weird. It should be restoring the line automatically if the user deletes it. Does it remain deleted for you?

Let me explain the situation. If the state is Selected only the TP line and I press the delete key. it deltes the TP line but the values(points distance and some other lables of TP) on the chart still persists.

If the other lines are selected too with the TP line and I press the delete key.. it deletes the Lines.. and it comes back..

How will be more user friendly is, even any lines (TP,SL, Entry) selected, when press delete it should delete only the TP line and it's related values.. The other lines and values not to be deleted.

The correct behavior is for any lines to get restored if deleted. What steps exactly are you performing to delete a TP line without it restoring automatically?

PS: It's impossible to prevent object deletion (it's handled by MetaTrader). Not restoring any lines is a bad idea. There will be much more errors than genuine use cases for this.

If I selected state is only the TP line (Entry and SL lines are deselected), pressing the delete key. deletes only the lines.

What i'm referring is, On the EA's Main Tab, if I select the text field of TP values and press delete key it removes the TP lines and it's related values on the chart. Line the same need to be happen if I select the TP line and press delete. It don't need to be delete the SL,Entry lines because those are important.. So, While I press the delete key while those lines are selected it can delte TP lines and it values, but not the other lines (SL,Entry) and it values.

Values mean im referring the aditional labels,RR,Point distance,....,,...

This video shows what happens when I press Delete - when the line is blinking it's the Position Sizer restoring it after it gets deleted:

I'm still trying to understand why it doesn't get restored for you.
