Issue with Changing Lot Size and Refreshing Trading Settings on VPS
There is a known issue with certain VPS setups where the lot size calculation defaults to 0.01 due to incorrect rounding by the MathRound function, likely originating from the physical CPU used by affected VPSs.
However, the issue can be resolved by selecting a different processor on the VPS server, which has been verified by other users. It’s advisable to avoid VPS setups where MathRound fails.
I recommend asking for a new server from the same VPS provider before looking for an alternative VPS. Sometimes, certain virtual CPUs within the same provider may have this MathRound error, while others do not.

Subject: Issue with Changing Lot Size and Refreshing Trading Settings on VPS
Hello Support Team,
I am facing an issue with my VPS, which I use to run the MetaTrader platform. The problem is that I am unable to change the lot size for my trades. I have tried several steps to resolve this, but unfortunately, the issue persists. Below are the details of the problem and the steps I have taken so far:
1. Attempted to Stop and Restart MetaTrader Platform:
• I completely stopped the MetaTrader platform on the VPS and restarted it. After that, I tried changing the lot size, but it remained fixed at the previous setting.
2. Restarted the VPS:
• I restarted the VPS entirely using the “Restart” option in the server settings. After the restart, I reopened MetaTrader, but the issue still persists, and the lot size does not change.
3. Updated or Reloaded the Expert Advisor (EA):
• I removed the Expert Advisor from the chart and added it again, then tried adjusting the lot size, but it still did not change.
4. Checked the Trading Settings on MetaTrader:
• I ensured that the “Allow live trading” option is enabled in the EA settings and confirmed that there are no other settings restricting the lot size. However, the issue with changing the lot size continues.
I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue, as I need the ability to adjust the lot size settings according to my needs. If there are any additional steps I should follow, or if there are settings on the server that require an update, please guide me.
Thank you for your help and support. I look forward to your response to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
Best regards,
