Resolving the issue of the difference in calculated lot size in capital management 'Risk % of Balance (Volume size depending on Stop-Loss)' between 2 different brokers

Hello good time,
Below are the specification information images for the XAUUSD symbol from two brokers, where broker 1 calculates the lot size correctly, but broker 2 calculates it incorrectly. What can I do to make the bot calculate the lot size for the XAUUSD symbol correctly in both brokers?

Broker 1 :

.
Broker 2 :

You need to use two different versions of the same bot by changing the pip size rules for each broker or asking roar how can be added the '*point' code within the project. Sadly I have no idea how to do the second option.

Is the pip value lower on broker 2?

Also, here's a link to a robot that you can test with the strategy tester to see if it risks 1% balance with this broker or not.

Set up a small test project, one that places a trade then closes it on SL, use this to check if you get the same values on both brokers, with the same lot size, also check if you gat the same pip distance with your crosshair. you can do this on back test, ctrl and f will bring this up on MT5. FYI lot siz
es on FTMO tend to be a lot bigger for the same value.

The brokers differ in "Tick value" and leverage setting. So it would be normal that you get different lot sizes for the same "risk". If you let a trade go into SL, do you lose $60 on both accounts?

@jstap

The crosshair is the same on both brokers, and if a fixed pip is entered, the same amount of loss will be calculated on both brokers.

This issue arises when using Money Management "Risk % of Balance (Volume size depending on Stop-Loss)" in the robot.

@roar
No
In Broker 1, $60 is lost
And in Broker 2, $600 is lost

[roar]

@AlirezaTrade you can try using a point value as SL, and then calculating the lot size "manually" in a custom block:

The example uses 123 point SL with a 1% risk.

[AlirezaTrade]

@roar

With your created robot, the 1% risk is not calculated correctly in this broker.

Balance = $6000
SL = 500 points
Risk = 1%
Calculated volume = 1.2 lot
Loss = $600

The correct volume with a 1% risk should be 0.12 lot, so that with a 500-point stop loss, the loss would be $60.

@AlirezaTrade that's interesting.

I added some prints to the EA, check out what values it prints to Experts:

@roar

It does not compile.

@AlirezaTrade add one more bracket here:

[AlirezaTrade]

@roar

TickValue: 0.1
TickValue Profit: 0.1

[roar]

@AlirezaTrade the math would add up with this new formula, not sure it applies to all cases: https://fxdreema.com/shared/MeB6yIyMd

[AlirezaTrade]

@roar

This formula does not calculate correctly.
The volume is considered 0.01 lot.

[roar]

And how about this?

I'm just guessing, difficult to replicate your case

[AlirezaTrade]

@roar
This formula does not calculate correctly.
The volume of 0.01 lot is considered.

@roar
Broker 1, which is working properly, the journal information is like this:

TickValue: 1.0
TickValue Profit: 1.0
