Your account with your broker might not except mini (0.10) or micro (0.01) lots, only standard (1.00). You can see the max and min lot size by MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_MINLOT) or MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_MAXLOT). Also the lot size...MarketInfo(currentSymbol, MODE_LOTSIZE).
Thanks. I also discovered that specifying .01 lots will result in 1 lot, whereas 0.01, with the explicit 0 added to the left, gets me the correct lot size, when I do the OrderSend.

I've been trying to specify a lot size of 0.1 or 0.01 in the Volume argument of the OrderSend function, but what actually gets sent is always a lot size of 1.0. I've tried changing the "Size by default" option in the Trade tab of the Options dialog, but the problem continues. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
