Dear Trader,

The position will be skipped, if the volume of the copying position is less than the minimal volume allowed by the broker for copying a symbol.

RE:

If the option to ignore the minimal volume allowed is selected, should we expect the trade to be initiated with the brokers minimum allowed volume?

This does not seem to work and the position is still skipped!

Dear Trader,

Please see the example for "Force copy trades with minimal volume" below:

Example

• Minimal allowed volume for EURUSD is 0.1 lot
• Risk level is 10%
• Signal Provider opens 0.2 lot EURUSD
• If the checkbox is unchecked, 0,02 lot EURUSD position is skipped for the follower.
• if the checkbox is checked, 0,1 lot EURUSD position is opened for the follower.

This example is also shown when you drag your cursor on the question mark next to the  "Force copy trades with minimal volume" field.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't seem to be getting that behavior.

In my case:

e.g. Signal provider opens 0.1 lot of GBPAUD.

Checkbox for "Force copy trades with minimal volume" was checked - Risk level of 20%.

I expected a position of 0.02 to be opened but it was skipped.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks PipaRama.

Dear Trader,

Let's say: 

• Minimal allowed volume for GBPAUD is 0.1 lot
• e.g. Signal provider opens 0.1 lot of GBPAUD.
• Checkbox for "Force copy trades with minimal volume" was checked - Risk level of 20%.
• The expected position to be opened is 0.1 lot GBPAUD for the follower.
