Hi Support,
I noted a trouble when I set the lot size in a strategy for XAUUSD. The lot, as said before in other posts, is in million of unit (that is ounce),
so if I want to open 1 unit I should set
lot = 0.000001
but when I backtest the strategy (that I attached), the system doesn't accept this value and requires a minimum amount >= 1000, in fact shows
the following messages:
...
16:34:34 Your order has been rejected due to validation failure. Invalid amount value, amount must be >= 1000
16:34:34 Strategy tester: java.lang.NullPointerException @ jforex.strategies.oneorder.OneOrderXAG_Modificato.onBar(OneOrderXAG_Modificato.java:29)
16:34:34 Start
--------------------------------------------------------
when I set the minimun lot that is
lot = 0.001
it tries to open 1000 OUNCES so if the "Initial Deposit" is equal to 1000 $ it gives an error of "No margin available" in fact shows
the following messages:
16:48:24 No margin available
16:48:24 Order canceled
16:48:24 Order submitted
16:48:24 Strategy tester: java.lang.NullPointerException @ jforex.strategies.oneorder.OneOrderXAG_Modificato.onBar(OneOrderXAG_Modificato.java:29)
16:48:24 Start
--------------------------------------------------------
if I set
lot = 0.001
"Initial Deposit" = 100000 $
the strategy runs and opens 1000 OUNCES (UNITS), BUT I WANTED TO OPEN ONLY 1 OUNCE (UNIT)
These ones are the lines showd in the historical tester
...
17:00:21 CLOSED Position
17:00:21 Order filled
17:00:21 Order submitted
17:00:21 CLOSED Position
17:00:21 Start
and these ones are the first 2 lines of "Event Log" in Report page.
2011-09-01 01:00:00 Order submitted Order [order1, XAU/USD, BUY, 1000.0 at 0.0] submitted by the strategy
2011-09-01 01:00:00 Order filled Order [order1, XAU/USD, BUY, 1000.0 at 1826.072] filled
...
Best regards,
Frank

submitOrder minimum size of 1000 units (0.001) is still an issue in 2.13.38 (api 2.13.38.1) demo platform. Is there a known solution?
