I entered a forex trade in the dynamic DOM using the SIM101 account. The default order quantity was set to 0.1M, which I took to mean 1 standard lot (=100,000 currency units). I entered a limit buy on the EURUSD, but when it triggered, it started doing a bunch of partial fills with quantities of 3, 4, 6 units at a time. After around 15 mins, it had filled around 200 units and showed 99,800 still remaining to be filled.
At first, I thought it was my mistake and that the original quantity of 0.1M actually meant 100,000 lots, but then when I checked the positions tab on Control Center, the PnL was clearly multiplying by individual currency units rather than lots (the trade was 6 pips down on 190 "lots" and the PnL showed -$0.11).
I'm using DTN IQ feed and I have the FX unit display parameter set to "pip". Can you tell me what quantity I should enter if I want to trade 1 standard forex lot on the DOM?
Thanks in advance.
