Up to now I thought, that ALL orders in historical tester get filled completely on the tick they get submitted.
I've now seen runs in historical tester where the filled amount differs from the submitted amount.
Example: GBP/USD Submitted: 20.0m LONG at 2009.06.01 02:23:43.889 @market price Filled: 18.4835m at 2009.06.01 02:23:43.889 @OpenPrice=1.62305 (tick.getAskVolume=1.2m)
Could you please shed some light on why the platform didn't fill the requested 20.0m and why the filled amount shows a fraction of a lot?
Thanks a lot and best, RR.

so in case of a leverage-cut the historical tester cuts back the tradeline to exactly the account leverage, even if this is resulting in fractional lots?
What would happen in the live account in this case? Would the platform cut the trade back to a multiple of 100'000?

the same will happen on live account. if account leverage is to small for order amount, then system will round out filled amount to 500$
