Can't change lot size in expert advisor

Post the code here
Hi there,
I tried to write my first EA today and everything seemed to work ok apart from that I wasn't able to specify a lot size for orders greater than 0.1 on most symbols.
I'm using the following code to open a buy:
trade.Buy( 0.1,NULL,Ask,Ask*0.992,Ask*1.006,NULL );
where trade is a CTrade object. When I specify lot(volume) size of 1.0 the EA does not make any deals when I run it in the strategy tester on symbols such as EURUSD.
Please advise,
Many thanks in advance,
Michael.
