Hello!

Is it any way to get trade amount (Lot Amount) value based on use of leverage percent (1% use of leverage f.e.) when buy/sell condition met?

regards

Sure it is possible!
For instance, if you have 100k as deposit and you want to trade with a use of leverage (assuming that the base currency is equal to the first currency of the pair; base currency: USD - trade currency: USD/JPY) of 1% then you can define that the strategy has to trade with 100.000 trade amount (assuming the leverage for the account is 100:1).

TradeAmount= Equity * Leverage(account) * Use of leverage

Hello!
Maybe I'm dumb or it is end of the weekend but I'm in "endless loop" with this :mrgreen:
So further assistance will be much appreciated, because I'm stuck with that.

Idea is when strategy start to trade, trade amount must be 1% use of leverage. Please see picture bellow.

Please have a look at the component attached:
The calculation is on the right side for no open position while on the left side there is the calculation for open positions >= 1.

Hello.
Sorry for late reply.

Thank you for your post.
I use a little bit a different approach, so need to know if I am on right way.
Using rule "Trade no more than 2% of amount", I simplify formula to defaultTradeAmount= Equity x Trade risk(%) x Pip value / Lot Size.
So if I have $1000 on my account and want to trade 1% of account it should be:

1000 x 0.01 x 10 / 100000 = 0.001 TradeAmount
About Pip value, I know most pairs have pip value around $10 (but not all) so it is "quick&dirty" solution. :lol:

Please see attached file.
Any improvements are more than welcome!!

Regards
