I have a question. So I have a expert that will compound on one broker and wont for a different broker. Why is that? Same code but different on brokers? The brokers have the same 5 digits as well. If anyone can help please write. Thank you.

Compound is not a term that I am familiar with other than compound interest which is not a currency trading criteria.

If you mean profitable, I suppose the reason must be spread widening, slippage, requotes and that sort of thing.

Hi,

I found that some brokers will not allow the trade lot size to be calculated as a % risk but require a fixed lot in the code of an EA.

( Some brokers do not even allow EAs at all )

Some brokers also dont allow different lot sizes IE you might have to go 1.0 1.1 1.2 etc whereas another broker will allow you to go 1.01, 1.02 etc etc have a look at what lot size it is trying to place and manually try and place it which broker are you using?
