__So, where did you get the idea of that kind of MM?[/quote:2ml2g9px]
I thought it's a Trading Rule, never risk more than 1-3% of Equity?!
__But if this is something only in your mind, you can do calculations by yourself.[/quote:2ml2g9px]
You're right, i can calculate this MM by myself.

I just didn't know how it's work with the "% of Equity", therefore my question.

Maybe if more people are interested in, as you already said, you can take it as a new option.

Thank you for your suggestion, I will try it with it.

__But we don't care of leverage here, because leverage is only the ability to trade with X-times more money than we have.[/quote:1shqk2z2]
Why not? I think all Broker work with leverage.

__So, when you have 1000 dollars, then 3% of equity is at least 3000 dollars? [/quote:1shqk2z2]
Yes, if the Leverage 1:100 we work with 3000$ but margin is only 30$
if Leverage 1:400 we work with 12.000$ but margin is still 30$
3% of 1000$= 30$

__I think you are talking for another kind of MM, but I don't know it's name. Where did you get this idea?[/quote:1shqk2z2]

I don't know any name of this kind of MM, maybe linearMM ^^, i wrote the code in some of my own EA's, before i used fxDreema

Ok you're right, but what about the Leverage?
__if the value is 100 (%) from balance, that means when you have 10.000 USD, the lot size will be 10.000 USD, which is 0.1 lot.[/quote:1ungs3gn]
This means 1:1 Leverage, in Stragegy-Tester the Leverage is 1:100, i use some Brokers with 1:400 Leverage and so on.
Let me show youu what i mean

Lots = AccountEquity() / 100 * % of Equity * AccountLeverage() / 100000;

% of Equity = 3
Equity = 1000
Leverage = 100 | Lots = 0.03

Leverage = 200 | Lots = 0.06

Leverage = 400 | Lots = 0.12

Whatever leverage we have, there are always 3% of equity, of course should be again depending on minimal_lotsize.
Also would be an input of advantage, if the calculated lot size is below a certain limit, the value entered lot size is taken.

if (Lots < value_entered_lotsize) {
   Lots = value_entered_lotsize; 
   return(Lots);
   }

Hello fxDreema,
if i use in Money Management "% of Equity", the lotsize should be 3% of Equity but if i use in strategy-tester StartBalance 50.000 the lotsize is 0.01 Lot.
If i use 100% the lotsize is 0.50 Lot.
The same as Balance and FreeMargin.
What is wrong?

hmm, now i have installed GC
without the connector plugin the generator build .mq4 and .ex4 file, but in the download folder.
With aktive plugin no file will be saved in any folder, but after building .mq4 file the MetaEditor image appears.

Is there actually a possibility the local version to update automatically?
