hey bridge.... sounds like your ea has a minimum lot size coded in..... that's common....

search the ea for 0.1, should be associated with lots.... you'll probably need to lower the minimum value......

if the ea is posted somewhere , let us know and we could tell for sure, otherwise it's just an educated guess.....h

Inserted Code
 
   if(lot<0.1)  lot = 0.1;
//---
   if(lot<0.01) lot = 0.01;
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

Can't tell you why. But my FXCM Micro Demo allows me to trade micro lots manually and then I can't do smaller than .1 in my EA. I verified that this was deliberate by checking the Minlot setting. Didn't check every pair, but it was true for EURUSD and GBPUSD.

double lots = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_MINLOT);

Ive notice this to and Ive change it for
if(lot<0.01) lot = 0.01;

But there is no lot size in beetween... The EA opens 0.01 lot or it switch to 0.1, can"t get 0.02 or 0.03... I would also like to have 0.12 0.14 or 0.36. Do you know how to do this.

Here's the part of the code associated with the lot size

Calculate optimal lot size |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double LotsOptimized()
{
double lot=Lots;
int orders=HistoryTotal(); // history orders total
int losses=0; // number of losses orders without a break
//---- select lot size
lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()*MaximumRisk/1000.0,1);
//---- return lot size
if(lot<0.01) lot=0.01;
return(lot);

Try , and I say try ,to modify :
lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMarg in()*MaximumRisk/1000.0,1);
in to:
lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMarg in()*MaximumRisk/1000.0,2);

It should work , because "number of digits after decimal point " have changed from 1 (xx,y) to 2 (xx,yy).

Hope this help and sorry for my english
