It would be helpful to control from within the strategy the position size one wants to trade. As it is now, for MBT, you would enter the position size of 1,000 to trade 1,000 units and a 1 to trade 10,000 at FXCM. In all cases to have 1,000 equal 1,000 would be helpful. In addition it would be benefical to have the smallest trading size to be a micro for all brokers that offer them.
Thank you,
Don

Re: Feature Request - Trading size
I will give it another run....
With earlier versions when I entered a fractional trade amount, it did not place an order.
Thanks!

Re: Feature Request - Trading size
When I try a fractional order (less than 1) it will not compile.
How did you make it work?
