Position size
-
Sr for my bad English...
Can someone tell me how the position sizing works?
I got a system with 5 systems inside...
To open a pending stop buy order I use the method "fixed percent of balance" and devide 98% by the count of active signals (every system looks till 8 a clock if it sees an entry... If yes =1 if no =0
The sum of the systems that want to trade is the number to devide.
For example... One system is active... The block create a pending buy position at any price (dosent matter for my problem) with fixed percent of balance...
98%/1Or 3 blocks are active
98%/3The problem is... To open a 0.1lot position in dax30 I need 60€ margin.
In my real account were 88,90€
1 system was active an the ea created a 0.2lot pending order.
What can I do to avoid this? -
@rodniks You broker's margin conditions cannot be changed by any EA with a balanç so low. You will need a higher balance for sure.

It was just an example...
With a balance of 720 Euro its the same problem...
1,2 lot is the theoretical max...
The ea makes a 1,7lot pending order?? -
@rodniks Can you please share your project?
