Default Lot Size Settings
23 Feb 2025, 13:05


Hi,

I observed that whenever I want to open a new trade, the default setting for lot size was 100k, if I clear it and set my own lot size, next time I want to open a new trade on another currency pair, it goes back to 100k as default. And one will end up opening a trade with an unintended big lot size! This has affected most of us who are trading prop firm account that has INCONSISTENT RULES to be denied of our PAYOUTS for our efforts and it is highly painful!

My suggestion now is to create a custom lot size space in the settings where a trader can set a fixed preferred lot size to apply to all the orders he/she will open thereafter. irrespective of the currency pair! Although, there is a field where one can choose LOT instead of ASSETS, this is good but please ADD a fixed custom lot OPTION where traders can set a PREFERRED lot size to apply to all trades and currency pairs without changing back to developer's default setting of 100k irrespective of new chart/tab OR at least change this default lot size to 0.01 to be on the safer side. We need help please!

Another suggestion is the application of the risk reward bar for both buy and sell trades like the one we have in trading view, this will enable trader to apply target and risk calculation on the chart before opening the trade. I saw the video on the YouTube but that function is not currently in your platform as the presenter wants us to believe.

Thanks as you consider this in your next update. It will be highly appreciated as I am speaking the minds of millions of trader in the whole world using your platform, truly I preferred it to any other platform!

Best regards,

Olufemi Adeyemo.
