🎯 Success Criteria

• Enhanced lot size calculation with validation
• Daily profit tracking improvements
• Better error handling
• Debug logging
• Edge case handling
• New helper methods

---

🔧 Key Improvements

1. Parameter Validation

// Before
m_base_lot_size = base_lot_size;

// After
if(base_lot_size <= 0)
{
    Print("[ERROR] Invalid base lot size: ", base_lot_size, ". Using default 0.01");
    m_base_lot_size = 0.01;
}
else
{
    m_base_lot_size = base_lot_size;
}

2. Debug Logging

// Before
// No logging

// After
if(m_enable_debug)
{
    Print("[MoneyManager] Calculating lot size...");
    Print("  Direction: ", (is_buy ? "BUY" : "SELL"));
    Print("  Open price: ", open_price);
    Print("  TP price: ", tp_price);
    Print("  Account balance: ", account_balance);
}

3. New Helper Methods

// Get daily profit target
double target = g_money_manager.GetDailyProfitTarget();

// Get daily profit percentage
double percent = g_money_manager.GetDailyProfitPercent();

📝 Logging Examples

Initialization

[MoneyManager] Parameters set:
  Base lot size: 0.03
  Use % balance: true
  % of balance for profit: 1.0
  Daily profit target %: 2.0
  Min lot: 0.01, Max lot: 100.0, Lot step: 0.01
  Point value: 0.0001, Tick value: 1.0

Lot Size Calculation (Debug Mode)

  Profit per lot: 3.0
  Calculated lot: 0.0333

Lot Normalization

[MoneyManager] Normalizing lot size: 0.0333

📋 Lot Size Calculation Formula

Fixed Lot Mode

Lot Size = Base Lot Size

% Balance Mode

Target Profit = Account Balance × (% of Balance for Profit / 100)
Profit Per Lot = TP Points × Tick Value
Lot Size = Target Profit / Profit Per Lot

Normalization

Lot Size = RoundDown(Lot Size / Lot Step) × Lot Step
Lot Size = Max(Lot Size, Min Lot)
Lot Size = Min(Lot Size, Max Lot)

🚀 Next Steps: Phase 5

What's Next?

Phase 5 will implement Risk Management functionality:

1. ✅ Complete breakeven logic
2. ✅ TP-based trailing stop
3. ✅ Standard trailing stop
4. ✅ Enhanced SL/TP validation
5. ✅ Integration with main EA
6. ✅ Testing risk management logic

Estimated time: ~25-30 minutes

📋 Testing Checklist

Before moving to Phase 5, verify:

• MoneyManager compiles without errors
• Debug mode works correctly
• Parameter validation works
• Lot size calculation is correct
• Normalization works properly
• Daily profit tracking works
• All edge cases are covered

---

💡 Notes

1. Debug Mode: Controlled by EnableDebugPrints input parameter
2. Validation: All parameters are validated and corrected if invalid
3. Logging Format: Consistent [MoneyManager] prefix for easy filtering
4. Pure Functions: CalculateLotSize is a pure function (no side effects)
5. Default Values: Invalid parameters use safe defaults

🔧 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

// Calculate lot size
double lot = g_money_manager.CalculateLotSize(
    true,           // is_buy
    1.2500,         // open_price
    1.2530,         // tp_price
    10000.0         // account_balance
);

Daily Profit Tracking

// Check if target reached
if(g_money_manager.IsDailyProfitTargetReached())
{
    Print("Daily profit target reached!");
}

// Get current profit
double profit = g_money_manager.GetDailyProfitAccumulated();
double percent = g_money_manager.GetDailyProfitPercent();

Debug Mode

// Enable debug logging
g_money_manager.SetDebugMode(true);

// Calculate lot (will log details)
double lot = g_money_manager.CalculateLotSize(...);
