Hey! I have a feature request for Position Sizer.
Could you add a “Commission Adjustment for Stop Loss / Maximum Risk” option?
For example:
Something like:
Max Risk − Commission = Maximum SL Loss
Example:
$1,000 − $100 = $900 available SL risk
This would make the risk calculation much more accurate for traders who want their total loss, including commission, to stay within a strict risk limit.
A simple toggle such as:
Include Commission in Maximum Risk: ON/OFF
would be extremely useful.
Thanks for considering it!

Now.. There is no need to enter the commission manually?.. It will calculate commission from the broker?.
Kindly do not ignore margin utilization for the pending orders.. Because If suppose trader having pending orders and it triggered the margin utilization will jump and he may loose the account.... Kindly have option for it to set true/false..

That's how it already works. If you set the risk to $1,000 and there is some commission, it will calculate the position size such as that the total loss is $1,000 (both from SL and from commission).
Yes. Provided your broker has it configured correctly.
There is a huge problem with this. There needs to be a way model which pending orders can trigger simultaneously and which cannot. A similar task is performed by our Risk Calculator indicator, but it is very resource-consuming and will slow the Position Sizer down significantly. The other solution is to print max utilization possible, but this would be largely misleading.
That is great feature. Thank you so much
Kindly write the issues in the MQL community so they may take step on this.
The risk concept on Margin in the trading tab will work for the pending orders?..
if there is margin % in the margin tab that will be helpful
PS: I checked the margin related thing.. It seems the margin % doesn't work correctly... There is always a better way Enivid. You can definitely find it and provide a better solution.

Version 3.16a released for MT5 specifically to address two margin utilization bugs:
- Fixed a bug that would allow position opening even when margin utilization restrictions are breached in some cases. (@EnrichWave)
- Fixed incorrect total margin utilization calculation.
Hi. I have recently purchased a new Asus laptop, installed MT5 and Position size calculator ea exactly as it is on my desktop. As soon as I load the Position sizer EA it just appears blank on the MT5 trading page and I can't even move it or do anything with it. Ihave to close the whole trading page and reopen it to get rid of the Position sizer. How do i fix this?
What is the output in the Experts tab log when you attach the Position Sizer to a chart?
Which build of MT5 are you using there?
Hi, i got an issue with the position sizer when i have done compiled it, but when i used it it just go all blank with the issue said invalid pointer access in "position sizer.mqh" (2616,33), anyone knows how to fix this? i just reinstalled the mt5 today and compiled again but it still goes blank

I am already looking into this, but for now, the best solution would be to revert to the latest release build of MT5 - 6182, because the issue is present only in the latest beta build (6193).
I believe you are experiencing the same issue. Please re-install the MT5 to a release build without updating to a beta build.
Dear EarnForex Team,
I am a long-time user of your "Position Sizer" tool for MT5 and appreciate the value it brings to my trading. I am writing to request a few feature enhancements that would significantly improve my workflow by allowing more automated trade management directly within the EA.
Could you please consider adding the following as toggleable Input Parameters?
Thank you for considering these improvements. I look forward to your thoughts.
Best regards

Could you please consider adding the following as toggleable Input Parameters?
- Persistent Default Values: Ability to set and save permanent defaults for "Risk %" (e.g., 23%) and "Risk-to-Reward Ratio" (e.g., 1.5) so they remain fixed and do not need to be adjusted manually every time the tool is loaded.
- Automatic Partial Close: An option to set a partial close (e.g., 50% of the volume) when a certain distance to TP is reached (e.g., 50% of the initial TP distance).
- Automatic Break Even: An option to automatically move the Stop Loss to the exact Entry Price once a specific profit target is reached, ensuring a zero-risk trade.
- Auto SL/TP Calculation: Options to automatically calculate and fill SL/TP based on the predefined Risk/Reward settings if the user leaves them at zero.
- Magic Number Management: For the automated functions (Partial Close and Break Even), it is essential that the EA identifies trades via the specific Magic Number to prevent conflicts when trading multiple pairs simultaneously.
Thank you for considering these improvements. I look forward to your thoughts.
Best regards

This already exists.
This only exists in the form of divided multi-TP trades. One position with partial closes won't be implemented.
This already exists.
Not sure what you mean here. Do you propose calculating SL based on the given position size and risk? That doesn't sound like a good idea.
This already exists.
olá. Preciso de ajuda. Fui instalar o position e estar aparecendo esse erro. Ele fica em branco na tela do mt5. Instalei da forma correta e mesmo assim está dando esse erro. Estou instalando o pacote completo. Instalei da mesma forma em outro computador e funcionou. Mas no meu computador não está funcionando

Hello. I need help. I was installing Position and this error is appearing. It stays blank on the MT5 screen. I installed it correctly and it's still giving this error. I'm installing the complete package. I installed it the same way on another computer and it worked. But it's not working on my computer.

Dear EarnForex Team,
To make TradePad perfect for my strategy, I need these custom logic updates based on ratios (not fixed points):
Are these modifications possible? If so, please let me know the cost or the process to get a custom version."
To make TradePad perfect for my strategy, I need these custom logic updates based on ratios (not fixed points):
- Persistent Lock: Add a 'Lock' feature for both Risk % (23%) and RR Ratio so they remain fixed and do not need to be adjusted manually.
- Dynamic Management:
- BE Profit Trigger: Move SL to Entry (Breakeven) when trade hits +50% of the distance to TP.(not units)
- BE Loss/Exit Trigger: If the trade goes against me by -50% of the initial SL distance, move the TP to the Entry Price (to exit the trade at zero/breakeven).
Are these modifications possible? If so, please let me know the cost or the process to get a custom version."
