I manually opened a 0.01 lot position in EUR/USD and USD/CHF without any issues, but when I started the cBot to open the same lot size, it gave an error.

Hi there,

Please share your cBot code so that we can understand what it is doing.

The volume in your order method should be in units not in lots. Use QuantityToVolume() method to convert your lots to units
