Risk % (Percent) on equity doesn't work properly - Opens lots higher than it should be
-
Hello,
In the Buy/Sell block, I put the risk management to be 3% of Equity, with SL 150. My equity is 10000 and SL is 150, so the opening lot should be 3%*10000 = 300 / 150 = 2. But the expert starts from 2.46 !!!Don't know why? Any advise? Thank you very much.

@vft Can you please share the link to the project?

Also, I am not sure what is the problem. The expert works well in Tester, but it doesn't work in Real Time Trading.
Allow trading is on. Live trading is on. DLL is on. And the smiley face is a happy face. BUT, it doesn't trade.Cant figure out what is the problem. Please advise. I Appreciate it. Thank you.

yea, i too have had problems with lot size %s working perfect on tester, but when migrating live it seems to fuck up majorly. Wont place trades because lot size is too small because it was trying to input a negative number usually is the problem for me.
You can verify from your journal. I never went back to troubleshoot why because it doesnt make sense....but shit like that is what makes developing so hard. When things work as they should, and then they dont for no rhyme or reason. the only thing it can be though is a problem in from where the EA outputs code in 1 way or another when it is loaded onto a real account. Perhaps, you must start the EA block structures with If Real and If Demo, perhaps theyll produce similar results then?

Any update on this? I know this is years ago. For some reason % of equity isnt working for me either.

AFAIK there are no changes here yete. You should contact the admin directly to let him know.

Can you show if the journal sheds any light on what is going on ?
