When I backtest my bot with Sugar White (SUGAR.CMD/USD), it enters trades.
Label Amount Direction Open price Close price Profit/Loss Profit/Loss in pips Open date Close date Comment
xx 0.02401 BUY 361.743101 371.754 240361.68 1001.1 2020-01-06 10:26:42 2020-01-10 13:23:03

but when I run it in a forward demo, I get these errors
10:47:11 Unable to process the order. Validation failure. Invalid order reason=Amount should be divisible by 10
10:47:11 Order SELL 335 SUGAR.CMD/USD @ MKT is sent at 2020-09-23 10:47:18.512 GMT by the strategy "xyz": from the local computer

Tester would not check for min amount. Strategy can do it by itself, here is how:
