Position Size Calculation on JP225 - is it a bug?

[Pascal 0]

Hi folks,

I created a little EA to trade indices: https://fxdreema.com/shared/iGFAaIevd

It works as expected on all US indices, but on JP225 the position size calculation is weird. The constant entered in block 89 "Risk_in_Perc" gets misinterpreted. It's possible to run the EA with values above 100%.

Here's the equity curve with 200%:

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Did you check if your broker is using the same pip size rules for US indeices and JP225? It looks like that.

Ticksize for JP225 is 0.01 and US30 also 0.01

That's the problem? I don't get why. Could you please elaborate?

You have to add a pip size rule in your project, if the instrument have 0.01 like the last digit, you have to specify 0.1

Try it and let me know

@Pascal-0 pay attention that US30 is quoted in USD, JP225 is quoted in JPY, so for the same risk% the lot size of JP225 is bigger
