Insufficient fund
17 Oct 2018, 23:07


Hi, normally I trade small account £100-£1000 account with 1:500 leverage and 16.6% risk. 

So just for curiosity, I open £100000 demo account with 1:500 leverage. And tried to use the same risk as I using on my small account 16.6%. 

But I keep getting messages "insufficient fund", but I tried the same on MT4 and it works perfect I can risk 16.6% on 100k or 1mil no problem.
 
Why this do not work on your platform?

 

Thanks

Hi tadas8891,

Can you please provide some more information about this? How do you try to open the position. Do you use a cBot? Please provide us with exact steps to reproduce what you see.

Best Regards,

Hi, just tested cTrader platform that I downloaded directly for you (spotware) instead of using brokers (ICmarkets and fxpro) and it works perfect using cBot and manually. So it seams like brokers demo accounts limited to 4-5 x 100lots no mater account size.

Hi tadas8891,

If you are trading more than the maximum volume allowed by the broker, then that would be the cause of the problem.
