Incorrect lotsize calculations
-
Hi, I'm using the "1% of current balance --> lotsize" risk method and I noticed that sometimes the risk is way more than it should be.
Right side is balance and 1 to the left is how much I lost on that trade.

Bumping this up from over a year ago. Having the same issue. Every once in a while my EA will place an order for 100 lots. I use the same risk % of the current balance (1%). Anyone know why this is happening?

Can you please share the link to the project?

Hi there -thank you for responding. Here's an image on how my buys and sells are setup. Percent to risk is a constant - always 1%... Most of the time time the orders are executed correctly, but randomly I will end up with 100 lot sells/buys. I also have a check in there that says the SL should not be less than a specific number (10 pips for example) so there should never be a time where we have a stop loss so small that the calculated risk % should be over 100lots. Should always be (on a 100K account) less than 25 lots.

The problem is the stop loss. You are selecting the current price to positions the SL and that can never happen. You should select another option.

@l-andorrà Thank you for the help! As you said, the current candle does not have a close value. Appreciate it.

You're welcome.
