Contract size calculation issue

  Original Code

  PositionSizeLong = MIN(10,MAX(0.5,abs(round((LongMaxRisk/(Close*(MaxSLPrecentageLong/100))/PointValue)*pipsize))))

  1	PositionSizeLong = MIN(10,MAX(0.5,abs(round((LongMaxRisk/(Close*(MaxSLPrecentageLong/100))/PointValue)*pipsize))))

  Hi PRT Master

   

  Above code give the contract size result as 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4……10.

  What command should use to make it 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5……..10?

   

  Thanks.

  I have not tested it for lack of missing values, but this is your line as I modified it, plus another line to avoid 0.1, 02, …

  PositionSizeLong = abs((round(((LongMaxRisk/(Close*(MaxSLPrecentageLong/100))*10)/PointValue)/10)*pipsize) PositionSizeLong = PositionSizeLong - (PositionSizeLong MOD 0.5)

  1 2	PositionSizeLong = abs((round(((LongMaxRisk/(Close*(MaxSLPrecentageLong/100))*10)/PointValue)/10)*pipsize) PositionSizeLong = PositionSizeLong - (PositionSizeLong MOD 0.5)

  Thanks Robert

  But I found below command was return to nothing.

   

  Example

  Test = 0.5 - ( 0.5 MOD 0.5)

  1	Test = 0.5 - ( 0.5 MOD 0.5)

  You are right, the MOD operator only works with integer results.

  Try replacing 100 with 200 in your first line posted.
