I created a strategy using the built in global SL/PT and MM.

 

Using MM the strategy works fine in the backtester. However when i set RiskInPercent to 0 and LotsifNoMM to anything else, i cannot get trades to open with anything but 0.01 lots.

 

What could this be due to?

Hello,

 

can you provide a screenshot of the settings? Seems MM is still active. What happens when you change the account size in MetaTrader backtester?

I’ve tried various ways to add jpg or png images and they’ve been denied. So i don’t know how to include images in posts.

 

When i increase the account size, lot size remains the same: 0.01 lots.

 

By the way, what does LotsDecimals mean? I can’t find it in described in the manual.

Hello,

 

you can send me a screenshot to [email protected]

 

LotsDecimals says how many decimal positions there are

 

When lot size is defined as 0.05 lots then LotsDecimals = 2

When lot size is defines as 0.5 lots then LotsDecimals = 1

Just for the record in case others run into this problem, this is what Tomas told me:

 

‘‹”there seems to be a bug with LotsIfNoMM. EA code does not contain a function to disable MM rules and set fixed value.

I will need to forward this to developers to make a fix with next version
 
“The only way now would be to define MM rules manually in Wizard.”
