Sorry, I have only a script for MT5 (attached). Do not forget to place it in the scripts folder. Once you change the time frame it will disappear... Thus, I will also appreciate a real indicator that stays on the chart the whole time..

Hi guys... Trader-IT showed me a bug where... if you create a template with the indicator on the chart.. And then use that template on a different pair-- it would get a weird ghosting... This will fix that..

Hi mtbb,

I really appreciate your efforts and am still using version 5 of your indicator, although it is inactivated after some of the scripts I am using. By the way, I checked all the scripts i am using and none of them has the DeleteAll line...
As for versions 6 and 7, they get deleted after a simple restart of MT4. Look at the image. Deliberately, I cleared absolutely everything from the chart; i.e. no indicators, no objects whatsoever... I place only the indicator (versions 6 and 7). I restart MT4 and you see the result. Instead of the indicator, I get "Label"--- There is something that isn't quite working here.
Version 5 keeps working after restart and is not deleted until the moment I use scripts to close orders (both active and pending). Thus, after having used the scripts, I need to reload my template.

try this... but not fully tested for non-fx pair (still under continuous development/testing)... and not sure if this is exactly what you need ─position sizing tool or money management {file}
Thanks but nothing shows up on my charts when I place this indicator...
Also, it is too complicated for my liking. I am not sure what it is supposed to do; there are too many settings.

What I need is just a simple indicator which shows how many lots (the maximum number of lots) I can buy with the currently available free margin on the account. I am not interested in any risk management options, no SL, TP, and other level settings, no alerts... nothing like these... I need just a number.... Just show me how many lots I can buy with the currently available money I have... That's it...
I used to have an indicator from the market place which worked flawlessly for months but it stopped working after some of the windows/MT4 updates.

All I can say is... Good luck with your search that satisfies your needs.

With version 6, I don't have these problems.

v2v... What your asking for is what these do.. You can use the indi to keep the info on the screen or use the script below to get the data you want and then after 10 seconds the data is removed from the screen.. You get lot size and avail margin..

hey mtbb,
It seems v8 is using yet again either the balance or equity but not the free margin for the calculation. Free margin is the more relevant value to use... it is the real money available to enter a trade...

So, can you recommend a software that will prevent the amount of lots that my robot will open? So it will prevent the robot from opening larger transactions.
