hellkas · #1 (**permalink**) 12-23-2005, 10:21 AM

Hi all...

What I've to do to change lots?

PHP Code:


			
int LotCalc(double Risk)

  {

   int vLots=0;

   if (UsePct >0 && Risk>0) vLots=MathFloor(AccountBalance()*(UsePct/100)/((Risk/MarketInfo (Symbol(), MODE_POINT))*10));

   if (UsePct >0 && Risk==0)  vLots = MathFloor(AccountBalance()*(UsePct/100)/1000);

   if (vLots>MaxLots) vLots=MaxLots;

   if (vLots<1) vLots=1;

   return(vLots);

}

I already changed for 0.1 but the EA dont trade..
But if I change for 2 lots it trade normally..

Any help I appreciate..

Tks

that looks overly complicated, heres what i use

Code:

   double lots = NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()/(500/0.1),1);

this uses 0.1 lot for every 500 in your account, adjust them as you see fit. hope this helps.

I think your problem is here:

if (vLots<1) vLots=1;

Thanks for your reply

I already changed

PHP Code:


			
if (vLots<1) vLots=1;

PHP Code:


			
if (vLots<0.1) vLots=0.1;

error message: EURUSD,H1: invalid lots number for OrderSend function

What i've to do now?

My guess is that you are returning an int instead of a double (the lots parameter is a double). Anything less than 1.0 will be truncated and end up as zero (trust me, I have done it and looked for hours until I found the problem).

I hope this helps, good luck.
