I don't know if anyone else has run into this.. I imagine you have since there are quite a few folks using IBFX with firebird v1.0c. Here's my issue.
I just installed MT4 from IBFX last night and loaded v1.0c EA using a mini account. What happened was it started opening trades at the micro amount (.10 cents a pip vs $1 a pip)
I deleted that account and created a new account using a standard account type with 1:200 leverage. When the EA ran, it created .1 lot sizes and p/l was $1 per pip, but the margin was $100 per lot size. So I lost my 1:200 leverage.
I then tried going back to a mini account using 1.0 as the lot size which created a margin used of $50 per lot size and $1 per pip. But the EA is coded to use .10 so the ea didn't work. I tried changing the lot size in the ea to 1.0 but it still didn't work.
How do I make this work correctly?
