Your broker/firm may restrict the lot size. If you are allowed to use higher leverage, check the symbols properties. There you will see the max lot size.
The maximum lot size is 40 and I place a 21lot trade and this not the first time it has happened
Check the Trading Tab of PS EA, or check your PS EA settings. There you might limit the lot size..
Could you please let me know the leverage of that symbol?....
The leverage is 1:100

Which setting do I check?

Post with the scrnshot while you are trying to place orders above the 10, that shows the Experts tab log... So, it'll make more clear about the issues.
You can post the set file by going EA properties then save the set files..
of course..
As your screenshot shows, the EA sends an order to sell 12.49 lot, but the deal gets executed only for 10 lot. You need to ask your broker why that happens.
Hi Enivid,
if the LessRestrictiveMaxLimits = true and I set a risk restriction for the current trade, It completely avoiding to take the position/order.

Yes, it currently only works with the total/symbol max restricters. It doesn't work with the fuses. Not sure if it should make the PS take a smaller trade when the "Max risk % "fuse is surpassed. The idea for the fuses is more like "Something isn't right there, check the calculations".
Yeah. it's important one, because most of the firms limits per trade risk %, so, if a trader trying to place higher risk % trade.. it'll be more helpful if it place the trade within the limited risk parameter with warning message like the total/symbol risk %... Also that kind is more helpful for the margins related risks too. So, the LessRestrictiveMaxLimits = true is for universal Risk related calculations that allows to place the position/order within the mentioned parameter with warning is more helpful.
BR.

Morning,
Does anyone know how i can make it so that as soon as I drop the Position Sizer EA onto a new chart it loads my presets (specifically risk per trade). I want it to default to £100 risk per trade but as soon as i change the symbol it goes back to 1% risk which is not what I want.
Thanks

There are three ways to achieve that:
- Use a .set file to save your input parameters and then load the .set file when attaching the Position Sizer to another chart.
- Change the default parameter values directly in the source code (Position Sizer.mq5) and re-compile.
- Save a template with the Position Sizer with your preferred settings, then load the template on another chart. If you save the template as
default.tpl, it will be loaded autocratically to any new chart you open.
Hi support, thanks for the help in advance.
I would like to share with you some of the problems I'm facing. I am using MetaTrader via remote access (logging in remotely), and due to network speed and latency, using a mouse to click from one tab to the next—as highlighted in the red—takes four to five seconds, or sometimes even more depending on my connection.
I was looking for a shortcut key to move from one tab to the next. I've tried using the Tab function, but it doesn't navigate to the next tab. Is there a shortcut key or something similar for the area highlighted in red?
If I can just punch in the numbers and move to the next figure as hightlight in red in the attachment, it would be much faster.

I understand your problem. Unfortunately, there is no way to change the edit focus programmatically via MQL4 or MQL5.
