MT4 Wont Fails to open positions with small stop losses


Retroo

Question

Hello, all

 

I have an issue regarding the margin requirements when trying to open positions in MT4. Usually I trade using Limit orders with small stop losses to trade, but with IG it seems that I am limited to the size of stop loss I am permitted to use given the pair I am trading.

With, for example, EURUSD I cannot place a limit order with an opening price and stop loss smaller than ~10 pips on the Demo account for MT4. And most interestingly, a trade that just barely does not open at a designated 1 lot size, does not also open at 0.01lots! But if that same risk margin changed to have a slightly bigger stop loss, the trades will open regardless of whether I am risking 0.01 lots or 1 lot.

To place the trades, there is an EA installed in my MT4 which calculated my risk for each of those trades, and it displays a margin requirement label at the bottom before I open the trade. But when the trade is able to execute, the margin calculations are way off compared to what it said in the EA, and thus I can only assume that it is some broker side margin calculation issue. I'd like to preface that the EA I have used in plenty of brokers before, and none had displayed the margin incorrectly before.

 

Is there a way to fix this? Am I connected to the incorrect IG server?

Also, how do you change the given leverage for the MT4 demo accounts? I'm stuck at 200 leverage.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
