Are SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP & SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN ever different?
Yes, I remember seeing that once, but I can't remember when or what the symbol and broker were at the time.
In the Strategy Tester you can indeed set them differently and simulate such a case.
Your broker can easily have min=0.1 and step=0.01, thus valid lot sizes are 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, etc.
For instance, in a default metatrader demo account some NZD symbols have different values (NZDCAD, NZDCHF and NZDJPY have 0.1 minimal and 0.01 step)

Are SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP and SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN ever different?
I have never seen an instrument where the minimum volume wasn't the same as the volume step value. Did you ever see an example where it wasn't the same? Do you think it's possible even though you might have never seen it?
