How to add lotsize to trade already open?
It seems there is a few bots that can do this.. maybe only mql5?
Does anyone have any example of the code required to do this...
here is a small thread referring to this technique...

Can't do it on MT4.
If you can't code and that's how you want to trade I suggest Oanda. They report both the trade and the position. So you have both.
MT5 is unique in that it only has one trade ever.
Of course working out your position via code isn't much of an issue on MT4, here's the calculation: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/v/vwap.asp

Yes, MT5 is purely positional, MT4 is purely trade based and Oanda is both.
Oanda is in fact working on a merge function for open trades since they limit the numbers of open trades, hopefully one of these days I'll be able to do serious volume on them.
