How can Expert  determine the minimum stop loss value ?

Are you referring to the Broker's "Stops Level"? If so, then you can use:

• For old style, pure MQL4: MarketInfo() function with the "MODE_STOPLEVEL" identifier
  
  

  MODE_STOPLEVEL

  14

  Stop level in points A zero value of MODE_STOPLEVEL means either absence of any restrictions on the minimal distance for Stop Loss/Take Profit or the fact that a trade server utilizes some external mechanisms for dynamic level control, which cannot be translated in the client terminal. In the second case, GetLastError() can return error 130, because MODE_STOPLEVEL is actually "floating" here.

  
  

• For MQL4+/5 (recommended solution for compatibility in both versions): SymbolInfoInteger() function with "SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL"
  
  

  SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL

  Minimal indention in points from the current close price to place Stop orders

  int

Several possibilities:

1. You may be implementing it incorrectly, so show your code so that we can check it.
2. or ... the Broker does not have Stops Level and does not have a minimum stop size.
3. or ... your definition of Minimum Stop size is something else completely, and we are not talking about the same things.
