Invalid Volume / Not enough Money

[Filip]

Hi Forum ,

Im experimenting with Lot sizes... In my case I try to set the greatest lot allowed. To get this value , I call the function :

acc_info.MaxLotCheck(_Symbol,ORDER_TYPE_SELL,price,100);

which gives me a 7.03

If I do a Sell marketorder with this volume I get the following error:

2013.01.09 14:50:00    2011.05.02 00:36:18   not enough money [exchange sell 7.03 EURUSD at 1.48203]

2013.01.09 14:50:00    2011.05.02 00:36:18   CTrade::OrderSend:  [not enough money]

whats wrong here?

thanks for help...

see the code:

   MqlTick lt;
   SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(),lt);
   price=lt.bid;
  
   Alert("price now bid:",price);
  
   symbol_info.RefreshRates();

   double acc_lot_max  = acc_info.MaxLotCheck(_Symbol,ORDER_TYPE_SELL,price);

 (for selling!)

in my example the price is 1.48203

Maybe you should make the lot a little smaller than "acc_lot_max" because deviration should take into account when selling instantly.
