You might want to set a TakeProfit as well, so it can actually work out the Lots size based on TP & SL :good:

% risk & lot size doesn't have anything to do with TP.

Lot size works on % for trend trades just fine . Rad trades seems to be faulty . My settings have a TP of 100 but dont think that would have an impact on the calculation of lot size .

Do you mean for the Market or Pending Trades? as I can't see anything wrong in the code, but I'm not an expert, so maybe best to let Steve take a look. From what I can see the EA uses the same code to CalculateLotSize for Trend, Range, Rad etc..

I am not sure think its RAD pending trades as per the EA setting .

Are you referring to the GBPCHF trade as the comment says its from HGB v1q and might be the issue as you seem to be running a newer version and the EA is adding TP & SL.

Version 1v is the latest version...that I see you're now using..

AUDNZD trade which is version 1v

It used to work fine in earlier versions like 1j

Think v1q was also faulty on this issue

I have the HGI Dark v 14.05 on all charts. Have MA240Filter set to true so that I follow nanningbobs rule as closely as possible. But the EA is taking trades not in accordance with that filer as shown in the attached. Am trading only trend and waves on H4. Shouldn't the 240ma filter have prevented the short trade since price is above the 240ma?

The trade was taken at 0.96880 even though the open sign does not appear.

Thanks.

The EA doesn't use the indi on the chart, but in the files. No way to set 240MA filter on that one, since indi is protectief.

Thanks for the reply gertje. Opened the indicator in Navigator, changed the input to true, closed it and then reopened it just to check. It had reverted to false. Any thoughts?? Thanks

The only thing is to ask one of the developers to make à version with "true" input.
