ok....the attached file is working on an fxopen demo account. I suggest you load it into the experts file. Then remove and then reload the terminal software. It should work. Fxopen will not allow you to place a stop loss that is less than 7 pips. Watch your available margin as well...it wont trade if its too low.

Ah interesting to know as I'm switching to FxOpen soon.

Thanks a bunch for the script

I tried using it and when I dropped it in, it brought up the small input window.
So I commented it out and now when I drop it, it doesn't send an order.
And when I take the "//"s out, I press OK and still nothing happens.

This is frustrating xD

Sorry for all the hassle.

And rapid, I'm not much of a scripter as you can tell from this entire thread. What is a post?
(At first I thought you were talking about this thread haha)

The pop-up window is supposed to pop up. I just tested it again just now and it works great.

I guess its a bit tempermental but when it does work....it is definitely inputting a stoploss that would give up the riskpercent that is provided. And the lot size is always fixed at 1 lot.

Best of luck to you.

I can still comment it out if I want it to be hotkeyed, correct?

Once I get it working of course xD

Right now it's just a script and not under any EA. I wonder if that's the problem.
Alpari's demo has let me set my stop loss nearly anywhere.

How does my available margin affect the execution of the script?
That could be my problem as well.

I would get a message like "Not enough money" or something like that.

Just go with a demo with at least 5,000 and it should work for you. Did you try fxopen or Active Trades yet?

I haven't demoed on FxOpen yet. Still on Alpari but I don't get that error message.
The trade just doesn't go through.

I'll try making my demo account larger and then I'll try using an FxOpen demo.

I hear the FxOpen demos are limited and you can only have it open for so long.
Any idea if that's true?

Success!
Agh finally xD
I'm so stoked now that it finally works :]

Alright so the problem was that my balance that I was demo-ing with was too small. It was at 3000 but I bumped it to 5000 and now it works great.

The weird thing is that it's set to 10% so 10% of $5000 should be $500 but the stop was set to $50 or 5 pips.

I'm not really complaining, though xD
If that's not fixable, then I'll just have to remember to always add a 0 to the risk haha

Maybe it's because I'm using a 5 digit (0.00000) broker and the code was made for a 4-digit broker?

No clue but thanks so much :]
Great code, 60minman


Edit:

Hey I fixed the code xD

I just removed a zero so it reads

Inserted Code
StopLoss = NormalizeDouble(AccountBalance()*RiskPercent *0.01,1);

So now when I place trades of 10% on the $5,000 account, I have $500 stoplosses.

It's all good now :]

Thanks a million, 60minman
