Hi,


i am having a problem with the right calculation of the LotSize.

I just want the EA to open a new Position but with a LotSize accordingly calculated to my Freemargin.


For example if the margin for 1 Lot of GER30 is 60€ and the FreeMargin is at 1000€, he can only open a Position that equals 1.6 Lots. So that if the GER30 gains/loses 1 point my Equity gains/loses 1.6€.

But when i run the testing, my EA opens a position with the right number of Volume. But it seems the volume doesnt match the Lot that i intend the ea to open.

For Example a volume of 0.1 seems to be a Lotsize of 10.

What am i missing ?


Thanks in advance :)
