cTrader BOT - Sell & Buy Stop

Hello,

Does anybody have a proper code for a bot that is able to make Sell & Buy Stop on Gold that has the next configuration possibilities:

Hour: 24 hours time period
Minute: x
Pips Away: (the order gets activated)
Take profit: (from entry point that the order is being pushed through)
Stop Loss: (from entry point that the order is being pushed through)
Volume: x
Seconds before: (the given time)
Timeout: (the given time)
One cancels other: (yes/no)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a news trading bot at the moment with which I am experimenting but somehow I do not get the volume down.

At FOREX it opens the right lot size but for the METALS it opens e.g. 100.00 lot size Gold, instead of 0.10 if I give in 10000 at the Volume section.

Under here is the code for the news robot, can somebody help me please figuring this out, and tell me what I need to change so it doesn't give in this massive volume for XAU and XAG.

Would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Best regards, BjornVdK.

OK.. I figured it out myself, just had to change a value in the code.

Wanted to remove the thread but I don't know where.
