Wrong Lot Size (Risk % of Balance (Volume size based on SL)

[romainchtr]

Hi everyone,

All the EAs I have in live market, I only use "Risk % of Balance (Volume size based on SL)" and I had no issue until this morning.
I am trading on 3 brokers (FTMO, Darwinex and Blueberry Markets) and one of my EAs created a buy trade on GBPJPY. The entry price, the SL price and the TP price was correct for all of them. However, the sizing was completely wrong for Blueberry Markets, for the 2 other brokers - no problem.

In the journal, I can see that the EA tried to place a trade with a volume above 50 (max allowed by the broker), it got rejected and it created a trade with a lot size respecting my leverage but still too high.

I can understand how it could be possible that on one broker, the sizing is that wrong knowing that the rest (Entry, SL and TP) are correct.

I will from now on put a "Volume Upper Limit" even though it might not be the easiest when I use ATR and the volume can be very different from one trade to another.

If you have any thoughts or ideas on what could have gone wrong - please share because I am really curious of what could have happened.

Thank you in advance
Romain

If you are using the EXACT same bot with the EXACT same code, the problem is the broker cheating on you. Period. That would be a serious red flag for me. Remove your money from them ASAP.
