Post From: Connect to LMAX demo account via SC is unsuccessful to work out correct lot sizes

A quantity of 10 in Sierra Chart when using LMAX is equal to the standard lot size on LMAX, which is:
1 contract = 10k

Minimum quantity size & increments = 0.1 contracts (1k)


So in Sierra Chart one LMAX contract is entered as 10.

.1 contract will be 1.

However, when entering lot sizes on the trade window in SC and then opening a SIM trade, it appears that it is necessary to enter in a lot size of 10,000 to equal LMAX $1. So an open trade showing up on the chart window shows a position of 10k.

Not sure how you are coming to this conclusion but definitely do not use a quantity of 10000.

We need to know your LMAX demo account number. Send it to us through an Account Support Ticket:
https://www.sierrachart.com/usercp.php?page=SupportTickets

We will then have LMAX add it to the demo order routing connection.
