@l-andorrĂ Thanks for the reply. That might be my last option as I prefer the ease of testing in MT5.

Bucket of Positions Not Giving Open Lots - MT5posted in Questions & Answers
Hello, I need help please. I am building an MT5 EA where I have to keep track of 6 individual trades and use their lot sizes when opening other trades. I used Bucket of Positions to achieve this. The problem is the buckets doesn't give any value for the lot size although there is open trade on that bucket. When I open a trade using a bucket lot size, the opened trade is always 0.01 lot as the bucket lot size is null. I confirmed it by commenting the total lots of grey bucket which has an open trade, and no value was shown on the comment during testing. Am I doing something wrong?



I have read on some posts here on the forum that Bucket of Positions can be buggy on MT5. In that case, how will I achieve the same using a different approach? For example, is there a way of using Magic Numbers instead? Can I assign specific magic numbers to each trade so I can track when those trades are opened or closed, and also check the open lots for specific magic numbers? I will also need partial closing of positions, so will a position retain its magic number after partial close?
Sorry for the lengthy question. Thanks in advance!

@VHV-Profit-Masters I have confirmed that the version from @Ipod works. However, once in a while, the FXSSI indicator would have news loading error on log (MT5) and will not show the news line on chart. In this case news won't be captured but it is indicator issue and not @Ipod's news filter issue.

@VHV-Profit-Masters Are you using @Ipod's or @chrisbe's version?

@Ipod Sorry for the disconnect. I was actually trying the other version by @chrisbe as the option to enter before and after news extra time is handy as I integrated it into my EA. Thanks @Ipod I'll see how your version works on my EA.

@Ipod Another possibility I can think of is that new versions of FXSSI calendar are not compatible. If you have an older version that works, kindly share it. Thanks.

@Ipod Please do so. Thanks in advance. I actually installed the indicator and attached it to the chart, but it can't detect high/medium impact news.

Hello! Can anybody please confirm if this news filter is working? It doesn't detect any medium or high impact news during my live testing. Thanks
