What is wrong with this Normalizing function?

Following EA gives an error when calculating the lot size, "has to be an integer".

What is wrong with it?

hey pippin..... i'm not getting any errors..... it places trades correctly in my ibfx mini.... they allow fractional lots....

had to comment out the FI indicator, don't have it..... but that would not effect the lots.......

unless it's a broker specific issue, such as no fractional lots, not sure..... your code works perfect for me.....h

Thanks for checking Hayseed.
Here is the FI Indicator and N_step.

See if your test is as good as mine...
Let me know what you find, it should be profitable at certain settings...

Hi,

you make a typo. change this
double FI= iCustom(NULL,"FI", 13,0,0);
you forgot to include "TimeFrame" field.
it should be
double FI= iCustom(NULL,0,"FI", 13,0,0);
and it doesn't relate to your lot calculation, altough you should use a more reliable formula. the lot calc you used, assume that lot step = 0.1

Hi Sangmane,
Thanks man, you rock!

Makes sense, Hayseed could not find the error but he commented out the FI indicator. Yeah, typo, look at the N-Step function, did includetime frame there.

I was looking in the lot function, as that is where the integers usually are required. I could not find anything. I know it is not perfect, but it has some MM function. Improving suggestions are always welcome.
Right now I am looking for a good trading algorithm entry system and MM / Stoploss and TP are not refined yet.
Eventually I want a good MM system and SL levels based on Intraday values calculated automatically.
Also the exit strategy can be better. Am looking at parabolic SAR, having success there with some settings on certain timeframes.

If you test this EA, please let me know the result.

Thanks!
