Q.
I used a grid size of 5 and turned it on last nite, long only, and autotrading
enabled and nothing happened
A. 5 is too small for the EA to be able to operate with. The minimum setting is realistically speaking is 25, but generally i prefer
to use a setting of 50 to ensure your trades are spread throughout the market range.
Q. Where should I adjust to change the number of the lot ?
A. The maxpositionsopen property dictates the maximum number of trades placed.
Q. Just got your EA followed the directions and have the EA in the correct folder and the indicator in its correct folder, I started the EA and this is the error that I am getting:

I am not sure what it does not like about the stop level, I did not change it
and I have EA's that run just fine with a 0 stop loss, any ideas? Also I have
this set up on the day chart, is that correct? I am not finding anything that
tells you what chart to attach it to
A. It looks like you have 2 problems;
1 - are you able to trade lots of size 0.02? (error # was 131invalid trade volume)
2 - it seems that the expert cannot trade, check the general settings for the expert allow it to trade fully
Q.
Please explain exactly how I do this (I'm a novice at this)- "override the
automatic lot size setting to whatever your account allows using the manual lot
size parameters"
- I double clicked CarryTrading EA and changed 0.3 lots to 0.1 lots, but still
get that error message- 2007.07.01 21:02:29 CarryGriddingv4 GBPJPY,H4: BUY
STOP Order result was -1,price 247.25, for lot size 0.03, error # was 131invalid
trade volume, stop level was 0
- I'd like to start trading with just 0.1 lots.....
A. You need to edit the EA properties. to do this, when the EA is on a chart, you
press F7. There will be a property called UseManualLots. Set this to true. There
will also be a property called ManualLotSize. This should be already set to 0.1.
