Total exposure tool?

I like to place a lot of orders into the market and sometimes so many I have no idea what my potential exposure is....

So, does anyone know if there is something out there that calculates the total risk of all pending orders?

cheers onis

This is nearly perfect!!! but it thinks I have 207% of my account at risk which isnt true, im guessing its something to do with my broker being 5 digit or similar?

No... it pulls the point value from the platform.. You may very well be at 207% Obviously ALL your orders would have to go the wrong way, but it's possible.

Then your broker is feeding the platform with the wrong data.

i don't like testing compiled exe on my trade station
Same here but I whipped this up in just a few minutes by using my personal library which would require me also posting about 5 different header files.

{quote} Thanks. If you got something that you are willing to share the code, I am looking for a function that I can call from my EA that will return the exact information that we see in the MT4 'Exposure' tab for each Currency.
...if you think it'll help...

Might I ask what sort of EA is it that you're working on?
