(1000 pips SL) If we are doing $ at risk per trade, then the FreeMargin needs to stay open, but we *know* mathematically that the account won't go bust. If we have a minimum margin value preserved in dollars, then we would avoid the bottom line. Unfortunately, this isn't compatible with the way brokers do the math. They calculate margin by %. Many brokers will start closing trades at around 50% or 75%. I have never heard of a trader on here recommending risking more than a small % of the overall account per trade. I would think that the FreeMargin% should always stay above 100% (In other words, fully leveraged but I would only use this math if we're calculating the maximum risk in real dollars per trade.)

Unfortunately there isn't a direct simple calculation we can do to predict the total margin potential. We could have a fixed ($$) or dynamic (% of All $$) system that is protected from loss in trade.

Ultimately the system for risk allocation should be safe for multiple systems to trade with.

• I'm planning to make up a piece of code to translate the meaning of the err numbers. This should help clear up misguided beliefs and instill some truth. It's also going to save everyone time so they don't need to go look them up themselves. Since the trade has been blown, there should be a moment or two available to spit out a error code translation.

The following has been completed.

1. Extra debug information to help with problems
2. Change default decrease factor to 901010
3. Change default minlot to 0 to kick in my new fix to prevent lot size problems.

No change to the settings file for 5.7.4.

No. I have no planned date.

I recommend that you change your settings file to the default values as mentioned in step 2 and 3 above in version 5.7.3. It would reduce the number of errors you should see.

P6 B4 Advanced version hasn't been released yet because I'm trying to debug a few more features.

4. Display error message text along with error message numbers.

No change to the settings file for 5.7.4.

I will post the code here until Daraknor moves it to post #1
