Have you checked the value of "MarketInfo(_Symbol,MODE_MINLOT)"?

if it's 0.1, that is the answer... if it's 0.01, then we'll need to see the codes from where you set your lots to where you send your order before concluding anything.

 

hi, thank you for answer me.

I made the fix but the problem is still the same

Backtest between 0.01 and 0.05 does not work.
From 0.06 to 0.09 doing the backtest 0.10







extern string lot_set="///////////////Lot settings///////////////////";
extern double Lot=0.02;                  ////1
extern double Lot_multiplier=4;         ////6
extern double max_lot = 100;              ////10
extern double min_lot = 0.01;
///////////// 
LOT /////////////////    double Lotss=Lot;    
CountOpenedPositions_f();    Lotss=Lot*

MathPow(Lot_multiplier,Orders_Total); //user limit 
   

if(max_lot>0 && Lotss>max_lot) Lotss=max_lot; 
   

if(min_lot>0 && Lotss<min_lot) Lotss=min_lot; //broker 
limit    double Min_Lot =MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MINLOT); 
   

double Max_Lot =MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MAXLOT);    if(Lotss<Min_Lot) 
Lotss=Min_Lot;    

if(Lotss>Max_Lot) Lotss=Max_Lot;
 

im fixed try 

///////////// LOT /////////////////
   double Lotss=Lot;
   CountOpenedPositions_f();
   Lotss=Lot*MathPow(Lot_multiplier,Orders_Total);
//user limit
   if(max_lot>0 && Lotss>max_lot) Lotss=max_lot;
   if(min_lot>0 && Lotss<min_lot) Lotss=min_lot;
//broker limit

   double Min_Lot =MarketInfo(_Symbol,MODE_MINLOT);
   double Max_Lot =MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MAXLOT);
   if(Lotss<Min_Lot) Lotss=Min_Lot;
   if(Lotss>Max_Lot) Lotss=Max_Lot;

I meant, why not add this line somewhere in your code:

Print ("Minimum Lot = ", MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_MINLOT));

And check the log to confirm whether your account limits your minimum lotsize to 0.1, rather than 0.01.

all code here:

Well, since you included the codes, I did a run, and this is what I get:


Which means the problem should be with your account - your broker has set the minimum lot size to 0.1, not 0.01. The 'Print' statement I suggested that you add would have helped you see it for yourself...

 
The program has been running for a long time. I reinstalled mt4 and it was no such problem. It worked on xm and fxpro
 

thank you for help. i must call my broker :)


becouse other  broker account working..
