CodeBase Validation tester says [Invalid volume].

 
The volume is a fixed value of 0.10.

Searching the forum suggests that [Invalid volume] is usually because of an issue with SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN or SYMBOL_VOLUME_MAX or SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP, but 0.10 is fixed, and I think a fairly standard size for EURUSD.

I had a few invalid price issues, but nothing to do with volume.

Needless to say, it works on the Strategy Tester on my machine.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Check your volume against min/max/step, always. You have no idea about the testing conditions, so don't assume anything.

That was it.

I was thinking too "inside the box."

Thank you.

:-D

 

for the broker company sometimes because of their inside calculation, 0.1 means something different.

forexample for ultra-low accounts 0.01 means 0.001 and it is invalid.
