Hi guy's...... please can someone help me....

I have developed an indicator that gives me a weighted number (ie. a value) that I would like to use to calculate my Lot size for each trade...

For eg. - I set my MM conditions to (whatever, risk, ratio, max lot size etc.) but then I would like to multiply this calculated lot size by the value of my custom indicator...

Can someone please point me in the right direction....

I think you're trying to multiply apples and oranges... so to speak. The MM icon generates some built-in EA code while your custom indicator's code is self-contained within the indi file.

So... the TA block is not an option--MM is not an indicator.

Using iCustom to call your indi within an MQL block and mulltiplyiing it by MM is only an option if MM generates standard mql code. I'm guessing MM uses special Molanis code (not standard), but you may want to verify this in SB Pro.

So I see 2 options:

1. Build an indi that duplicates the desired calculation(s) performed by MM. Add your other custom indi code while you're in there, or simply call that indi using iCustom, and mutliply. Import the resulting indi into SB. Or...

2. From SB Pro, open the EA's mq4 and go to work hardcoding. Find the MM variables holding the specific value(s) you desire. Copy, paste, and edit the necessary code directly into your EA's trading conditons.

Thanx RJo... those seem to be my only options.... I'll have to look at hard coding this.... thanx for confirming this
