Lots Limited by % of Balance - American NQ market

[xburbx]

I am trying to setup my backtest with a starting lot size of 1 and no more than 10 total . I am trying to have it risk up to 1% of the total account balance on each trade. How do I set that up here? I received an error stating it is trying to use .034 lots but my broker minimum is 1. There must be a setting I didn't do correctly.

Your settings are correct. Considering such a small lot size I guess you are using a minicent account. The problem is the broker limitation. Just backtest the bot using a higher initial lot size and you will confirm it works correctly.

@l-andorrà The account has 100k in it. 1 lot is $20/point. It should be more than enough there?

It has been noticed before that the % number used in this needs to be a lot bigger than expected, try 1000 and see what happens
