We need a little bit more information than that.
1. Where can't you MC or Broker?
2. What broker are you using?
3. What datafeed are you using?
4. How are you trying to create the order?

i just looked at the DOM or chart trader and saw that i could only enter 1 lot, which i assume to be a full 100k (did not want to test it to find out).
dont really see any way to enter amount (like .1 mm or .05 mm) etc.

Try it with IB's "simulated" trading account, it's free and great for testing and getting everything setup.. they will set one up for you, if you don't have one, just ask them for it..

thanks for the response. But do you know if you can enter a trade for 20k, instead of 100k using multicharts? I cant find a way to do it...

Hi I am using MC & IB as you
1 lot is 1 whatever you trade e.g. eurusd 1 lot equals 1€. 1 lot is NOT as stated 100K. If you want to trade 50K - enter 50000 in the ordre entry window or the dome and it will buy or sell 50K.
enjoy
