Hi Cardio,

I use this simple risk management function:

double GetSizeLot() { if (IsTesting() || IsDemo()) return(1);
else return(NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()/StopLoss*RiskLevel,1)); }

with

extern double RiskLevel = 0.03;

for a 3% risk e.g. in micro-accounts.

Take care.

renatops, I think it is a really good idea to use the AccountFreeMargin() to determine the next position size as a MM qs opposed to the account balance that do not reflect the real situation.

Thanks renatops,
I will give it a try.

Though I will use

Code:

double GetSizeLot() 
  {
 return(NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()/StopLoss*RiskLevel,1)); 
  }

as I want to use it when testing and on demo.

using RiskLevel = 0.03 or 3%
So if my accountfreemargin is 1000 and my stoploss is 50 then
lots = (1000/50*0.03) = 0.6 right?
at risklevel = 1 or 100%
lots = (1000/50*1) = 20 - all my available account free margin if I should hit my stoploss. I see the light!
