Lot size question

How is it that I can enter a trade of 0.3 lots EURUSD with only $1250 equity and 1:1 leverage?

With 0.3 lots over $30k margin should be required.

According to margin/leverage calculators it's not supposed to be possible. However, I'm obviously missing something and need to relearn the basics.

Post a screenshot of your terminal so I can see the margin and balance with the open position.

Although the account is certainly listed as 1:1 it's acting as 1:30

With a true 1:1 account. Your Volume should be equal to your balance with all positions closed.
The issue here is most likely due to the margin required for that particular pair. I would contact your broker if I was you and ask them whats up.
