Pair / indexes --> 0,1 /1 in strategy test
-
Hello
When I run backtest eur/usd it buys/sells 0,1 --> works fine !!
The same backtest (hands in pockets) but run for indexes ES35 --> buys/sells became 1,2 or 3 (integer), and I want it to continue with 0,1
The broker lets me buy/sell 0,1 ofindex (for example) InterTraderDirect Demo account.
I´ve no tried the same EA in a real account , (so it should be a backtest and demo and broker problem together) But I would like to know if is the same for all you.
Thank you.

If you have 0.1 in the block, it will try to open 0.1 lots. If the minimum for this symbol is 1, it will open 1. But there is no something that will convert 0.1 to 1 when you have indexes. I should do something like this, but now there is no such thing. I tried some simple EA and this is the result: http://prntscr.com/6e6mni

So, clearly is my fault.
Can you please copy / paste the block (BUY/ SELL)or the simple EA you used ex4 , in order to compare and discover where I did the wrong . I told you because is the XX th time that I do the same with no good result (I´m in a bug....jajaja)
Thank you

Finally it is a broker settings problem
2015.03.08 18:07:30.159 2015.02.02 19:36 fxDreema ES35,M1: Alert: You want to trade 0 lot, but your broker's minimum is 1 lot. The trade/order will continue with 1 lot instead of 0 lot. The same rule will be applied for next trades/orders with desired lot size lower than the minimum. You will not see this message again until you restart the program.
Thank you !!!!

Yes, but... If you can trade 0.1 lots manually, the EA should also be able to do it that way. On my broker I can open 0.1 lots. I can't find a broker like "InterTraderDirect" when I'm trying to create a new demo account, but if you really can open 0.1 lots manually, then I have to investigate this problem more.

It doesn´t let me open 0,1 with this one Intertraderdirect. (manual or EA)
No problem with another brocker like HBS. (manual or EA )
It is an Intertraderdirect restriction 100% sure.
I skipped the first step , check if manually possible.
closed item.

Well, each broker has it's limits and settings, not all brokers are the same
