      Hi there,

      I did many many backtests and I found out that changing the Rsik %( position size) using Rsik% of Equity in the "sell now" block changes the point of entry even though nothing else has been changed.

      Is there a reason why this happens? Where is this difference in point of entry coming from?

      Thank you many times,

      Best Regards,

          Anything over 30% delays my execution for going short.

          The point of entry is when the candle price(closed) closes below a MA.

            Risk % of Equity is one of the volume (lots) option and it matters for the lot size of the future trade, it does not determine it's open price. But I don't think I understand the question.

              Please take a look at 2 pictures A and B.
              A is when the Risk % is set to 30%. A sells at the exact place I wanted to go short.
              B is when the Risk % is set to 32%. B sells at considerably lower place than I wanted to go short.

              There is no other open position at that moment.
              Thanks,
              Best regards,

                Do you have error messages? And what project ID (or name) it this one?

                Otherwise to check if conditions are fine... I use "Draw arrow" or other "Draw..." blocks, and also "Logic points tester" was made for this reason (but I found myself not using it). And if conditions are fine, but trading is not - then the problem is in the trading blocks. And I think that this is the case here.

                  I am working from my local PC, its called backup15. I am not sure if I have a message. Where can I check for a error message?

                  Regards,

                    Error messages in Journal or Experts (when live trading) tabs.

                      Maybe you have different SL in both cases, but in the case where there is no trade SL is so small that makes lot size too big... and no trades is placed. You should see error message like "Not enough money to sell...". And then on the next candle SL is bigger and lots are small enough to open a new trade.

                        Hello,

                        Yes, there was an error message that there wasn't enough money to sell.
                        Thank you for your help
