How to set lot size from fixed to risk per trade in(%)

[ralph1]

Hi guys, how do I change the lot size from fixed to risk(in percentage) per trade according to the account balance?
Thanks in advance.

@ralph1 In the buy/sell block you have the options to do this, if you want it compared to SL distance, just choose this option and make sure you have a SL set, if not set to account balance/equity and it will decide the lot vs account value.

Oh ok, thanks. So how can I add all the options in the input section so that the user will be able to choose the type of lot size the EA should work with? Either fixed lots, risk per trade(in %) etc?
Thanks in advance.

@ralph1 Something like THIS will do that for you, whatever you set the input to will determine the lot choice.

Thank you for the help, so with the % of balance, what does the 100 in the second input mean?

@ralph1 I don't know how it calculates but 100% means is use all account balance, 50% is half, 200% means it effectively doubles the risk. I tend to use % vs SL size, but only works if you have a SL set.

Oh ok, will give it a try. Thank you very much for the help.
