1k volume steps
16 Jan 2014, 09:42


It should be possible to adjust the volume/trading size in 1k steps, i.e. 12k, 15k, 27k, 104k and so on.
This option would be a huge advantage regarding Money Management.

Maybe I don't understand your idea, but isn't this already possible? You can enter any lot size you want. Or maybe it is a broker restriction? I'm able to enter any "amount of k" I wish to trade.

Hi,

maybe this might be a Broker restriction because I can only trade in 10k steps; but I'm not sure about that. Every order with steps lower than 10k will be restricted/denied.

Which Broker do you use?

Kind regards

I tried cTrader with both Trader's Way and IC Markets and both allow 1k steps for sure.

Thank you for your answer.

FxPro denies steps lower 10k but only on the cTrader platform. It is (as you already mentioned) a Broker restriction. I can't understand that restriction because on the MT 4 platform they allow steps lower 10k. To me, this is really confusing.

This is definitely a limitation by the broker, so it should be removed from feature requests, and anyone who has such problems should adress their broker with the issue...
