Lot size Interactive brokers

[hanysfx]

Hi. I would like to open for EnterLong() position in EURUSD with Interactive Brokers and there is problem, that Ninja trader open just very small position. If I change order to EnterLong(20000)-> 0.2 lot, there is no realised trade. Could you please help me with setup for example 0.5lot (50000$) position? Thank you

Hi Hanysfx,

Thank you for posting.

The reason you got no realized trade with 20,000 is because IB needs to be a minimum of 25K.
Your code should look like -

EnterLong(25000, "");

For a 50,000 you would just replace the 25000 with 50000.

This forum post goes over how to use the 25K minimum with IB.
