Hi, I have a strategy that is running in live account. But I am having huge problem now with the leverage. In the trading logic, I wanted to trade upto 5 open positions with a single lot size of 0.006. So I used a 0.03 (0.006 x 5=0.03) lot to restrict the lot amount in the block with all position data.

But in live condition, I have found instances where it will trade upto 0.054 lots (9 open position of 0.006 lot) even as the maximum open lot allowed is set at 0.03 lot. Is my IF logic inherently wrong or is there a way to rectify since its very dangerous to run it live.

Hello and thank you for the provided strategy.

I found the bug :)

If you want to refer to trade amount of several positions (as a sum) you need to setup like this:
I know that it is a bit confusing... Everything below "Positions Info" refers to the number (amount) of positions (integer), while when you have created an array (=positions Viewer) you can determine the trade amount of all positions for example.

Thanks. :)

But the logic seems difficult to understand if I have to write it. Could you give me some tips on how to write and the logic behind. Some links or tutorial should be good.
