Setting a default lot size
11 Dec 2018, 16:24


May you add a setting to create a default lot size, so no matter the type of order (Pending/Market order) it automatically is set to the user entered value. And you may have different default lot sizes for different work spaces.

My Way:
Pending Order
To set default value for pending orders, you need to open a chart and hover over the Buy/Sell and a box should drop down. change the lot size their and will make it the default value ONLY for that chart & work space.

Market Order
You create a new order on the chart, change the lot size and will remain the entered lot size ONLY for that chart & work space.

Please cTrader community. Upvote this request.

 

We need to be able to set a default lot size, or at least, it should default to the minimum lot size.

 

When we open a new chart for a forex pair, the minimum lot size is 0.01, but the chart defaults to 1.00 full lot, and this will cause accidental overleveraged trades.

All the better to fleece you with, my dear!

 

Un.fkn-believable that CTrader does this, with no means of changing the Default Size.
