Thread: Help with quotOrderSend error 4051quot

Ernie11-

Yes you're correct. You can eliminate the condition in case you want but it will then check on every tick.

You are also correct that there is no additional monitoring included. Your post wasn't clear as to what you wanted to do following the initial trailing stop.

cyber1. Ok thank you. I hadn't ever thought about upgrading once per, neat idea. I love to code as much as possible myself but once I get stuck I ask for assistance on that part only and continue going.
Whatever else you think I should add to aid with the money management part you can consider?
Thank you again.

Hello everyone. Ive been trying to figure this out for some time now but havnt been able to. Some help with this would be fine. The code below is what implements my long transactions but I keep receiving OrderSend mistake 4051 invalid lots sum for OrderSend function. Ive tried different methods but nothing seems to work. By using this code within my lot dimensions im trying to get a lot dimensions that is only going to risk my percentage per trade but using a variable stoploss in reference. The stoploss varies from trade to trade since its the lowest low in 50 candle back. If you know of a simpler or better way that would also be valued.

Edit:'m seeking to incorporate risk/money management into my transactions using this method.

Variables Code:
Inserted Code extern int Risk_Percent = 3; //Percent of the account to risk per trade. Dual LowestShift = iLowest(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1, MODE_LOW, 50, 1); //Find the candle using the lowest non in 50 candles back. Double Lowest = iLow(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1, LowestShift); //Find the low of the candle utilized by LowestShift double Buy_Take_Profit = ((Bid-Lowest) Ask); //To make the trade 1:1
Execution Code:
Inserted Code if (Condition1 gt; Condition2) if (Condition3 lt; Condition4) if (Condition5 lt; Bid) if (getOpenOrders() == 0) double Buy_Lots = NormalizeDouble(((AccountBalance()*(Risk_Percent/100))/(((Bid-Lowest)*100000)*(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_TICKVALU E)))),2); Buy_Order = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Buy_Lots,Ask,30,Lowest,B uy_Take_Profit,NULL,2000,0,clrGreen);
