Hello. I have a few questions related to lot and order size using admiral.pro account.
1. What is the maximum lot size? Some say it's 50 lots.
2. What is the maximum order size with each order using maximum lot size? (something like 50 lots x 10 orders)
3. Is there delay with big orders?
4. Is it possible to have maximum order size with maximum lot size on just one pair? (for instance, 50 lots x 10 orders in EUR/USD)
must be more than 50. I.e. with stocks (my default was 1) the trading window just stays blank.
I figured that i had to increase the order size , the next option after 1 was 100 !
I think it would be useful to have an option to have the order size adjusted automatically
so the margin is -say- $1000 (this value should be chosen individually)
It should even be the default, IMO.
There is a danger, that you change the order size with one order and then forget to set it back.
E.g. you order 100 stocks Exxon and then you short gold .... oops, 100 contracts !

Why don't you try some lot suggestion indicator (http://www.mt4appstore.com/products/mt4-indicators/lot-suggestion/41)?
Lot suggestion (http://www.mt4appstore.com/products/mt4-indicators/lot-suggestion/41)is an indicator which shows you the suggested lot size based on the user input risk percentage from your equity. Simply drag the red line to the position where your stop loss will be and the indicator will calculate automatically on what lot size you should open your order so you will not loose more than X percent if the stop loss is reached.
