Hi, My MT4 backtest only allows me to use 0.1 lot. How can I reduce it to 0.01 lot? Every time I use 0.01 lot I get an error message saying "OrderSend Error 131", but no problem with 0.1 lot.

Many thanks!

Didn't encounter that before, but maybe you're trying to open micro lots on an account which doesn't support it - just a guess though.

That is dependent on your broker. Find a broker that allows 0.01 - maybe IBFx, FxPro, BroCo, many others.

Many thanks! Could you please let me know how I can increase the initial deposit in MQ4 just for backtesting?

In the testing tab, you have 'Initial Deposit' field.

thank you very much indeed!

It's very strange, I can use 0.01 lot in the backtest yesterday evening, but can NOT use it today.
