is there a way of changing your leverage on your metatrader account demo

Yes, open a new demo account with different leverage

but then you have to buy a new licence when you spoke to the guy from FAPT Alan did you raise the licence issue?

He was not aware of that bug apparently. This is caused by account leverage. If the account leverage is anything other than 100:1 it will cause this.

He said they will fix this bug soon.

For now I advise you all to manually set lot sizes or wait until a fixed version gets released.

Great Alan...you da man.

*sigh* yeah you'd have to...so in that case the only recourse would be to get in touch with your broker and ask them to manually change your account's leverage..

All fapturbo owners should also receive an e-mail from the developers ...or should HAVE received it as it was sent an hour ago...

Alan:

Will this fix MM with accounts with 200:1 to 500:1? I currently have 500:1. I have not seen it trade more than 1 mini lot yet in my demo today. I have changed lot size to 0.

It works fine with 200:1 leverage as I tested this myself (that's the leverage I use for both live and demo) but I don't know about 500:1...I would presume that it should. What is your account size and what do you have as your LotRiskReductor?

Hello,

I use the v22 of fapturbo and think that there is still a bug with MM :s

I use 1:500 leverage, a deposit of $400, and my LRR is 20 - and it trades only 0.1 lots...

It seems not logical, cause yesterday with a $560 deposit (only $160 more) it traded 0.4 lots with the same settings...

Anyone have the same problem?
