Calculate Volume size based on Account Balance Risk %, SL Pip Value and Symbol Pip Value
17 Apr 2023, 14:20

Hi,
I want to calculate Volume using the below formula ,but I am facing ths Error "errorCode": "TRADING_BAD_VOLUME", "ctidTraderAccountId": "12345", "description": "Order volume 80.00 is smaller than group minVolume=1000.00"
 

TradeVolume=AccountBalance * RiskPercentageForTrade
var TradeVolume =TradeAmount / (StopLossDistance in pips * Symbol.PipValue)

 

I need to Convert this TradeVolume With Respect to lots size of Symbol , is there any way how to do this ?

Thanks

Hi there,

Try wrapping the volume with the Symbol.NormalizeVolumeInUnits() method.
