Pls do a publish to the order size. Inserted Code double Buy_Lots Also make certain that it's greather then your broker allows it.
Example you perhaps wish to ship 0.005 lot, which is not possible( MT4 limit), or 0.05 however, your broker require min 0.1 lot.
Also use the Equity, not the Balance, maybe check the free margin too
Thank you. I do that and im. It appears the part where Risk_Percent is divided by 100 provides me back 0 in the print. If I change the risk to 100 then it gives me . It doesnt appear to need to give me a decimal though.
I will check on the lot minimum but I think that the above is the main reason behind the error. Still a min and a maximum aren't bad things to plan in.
I will change it to equity. Why would I must look at the free margin?

Thank you for the reply. I got it working by performing Risk_Percent*0.01 rather than Risk_Percent/100. Dont understand why one works and the other doesn't, they both give the exact same answer. If I left the Risk_Percent a double I wouldn't be able to alter it in the input box ? It would always be a value?
I want to implement a particular trailing stop but im having a small amount of difficulties with it also. I would like it to start a trailing stop once it gets to Xpercent between OpenOrderPrice and Take_Profit. Can you have a look at it please. The elements in bold are the only ones I shifted from a normal trailing stop.
Factors:
Inserted Code extern int Start_Trailing_Stop_Percent = 70; extern int Trailing_Stop = 100; double LowestShift = iLowest(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1, MODE_LOW, 50, 1); double HighestShift = iHighest(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1, MODE_HIGH, 50, 1); double Lowest = iLow(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1, LowestShift); double Maximum = iHigh(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1, HighestShift); double Buy_Take_Profit = ((Bid-Lowest) Ask); double Sell_Take_Profit = (Bid-(Highest-Ask));
Trailing Stop:
Inserted Code for(int I=0;ilt;OrdersTotal();I ) { //Select Open trades if(OrderSelect(I,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES) == false) {} //Perform monitoring stop on buy trade if (OrderType() == OP_BUY OrderSymbol() == Symbol()) { if(Trailing_Stopgt;0) { #91;b#93;if(Bidgt;-LRB-(((Start_Trailing_Stop_Percent*0.01)*(Buy_Take_Pro fit-OrderOpenPrice())))) OrderOpenPrice()) {#91;/b#93; if(OrderStopLoss()lt;Bid-Point*Trailing_Stop) { if(OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-Point*Trailing_Stop,OrderTakeProfit(),0,clrGreen)) return; else {} } } } } //Perform monitoring stop on Sell trade if(OrderType() == OP_SELL OrderSymbol() == Symbol()){ if(Trailing_Stopgt;0) { #91;b#93;if(Asklt;(OrderOpenPrice()-((((Start_Trailing_Stop_Percent*0.01)*(OrderOpenPr ice()-Sell_Take_Profit)))))) {#91;/b#93; if((OrderStopLoss()gt;(Ask Point*Trailing_Stop)) || (OrderStopLoss()==0)) { if(OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask Point*Trailing_Stop,OrderTakeProfit(),0,clrRed)) return; else {} } } } } }

As to the monitoring stop, I wouldn't consider working on it without the entire EA code.
I will join the EA. Everything thats a print I put in trying to trouble shoot it. I noticed the OrderOpenPrice() in the Buy Logic isnt exactly the same as the open price when backtesting. Thanks for taking the time to check at it.

Hi cyber1. Thanks for the help, I just ran it once to see if it works and it does. First time I implement the money management component so will see how that works out. That is suppose to help so one transaction isnt bigger than the other.
Hi cyber1. I noticed im getting a bit of OrderModify 130s from running it. Do you know why? Also it moves the stoploss into the % inputted but doesnt trail it from there, I will attempt to bring this component with everything you wrote.
Hi cyber1. Im not getting anymore of these errors and I got it to track the bid/ask after reaching the beginning point (BEPoint) as you put it. I do have a query about your code however. The part that calls the Trailing_Control is only activated once each bar? Which means that the Stoploss will simply be upgraded once per bar?

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);
