  I guess you mean when manually trading?

  If you input 1 does the 1 then go red? If Yes, this means that 1 is not allowed for that Market so increment by 1 and you may end up at 5 before it goes to black??

  What value does it switch from?

  There is a setting somewhere for default Lot size.  Mmm maybe not as I can’t find it?

  Yes when trading manually but thats not the issue. This problem occurs on markets that allow 1 contract (eur/usd, Dax etc.) So now i have several times opened 5 contracts when i wanted to open less – which isnt optimal.

  So the issue is that i can be trading on 1 contract per order – change market – then change back – and it has “pre selected” 5 contracts for the order.

  So its no a “minimum contract” issue.

  ah is it saved for that template maybe?

  Try setting to 1 and then go File, Save as *** then change Market and see if it is still at 1??

  Then File, Quit, Save open again the Platform and let us know the outcome?
