Currently Lot step is fixed to 0.1. Min lots to 0.1.

In the Expert the lot size is normalized additionally in order to met the brokers requirements. (for example, if the broker uses: MinLots 0.7 and LotStep 1.3 )

can ForexST using 0.01 lot size ?

You can make a small change in MT4-FST Expert.mq4

Find the NormalizeEntrySize(...) function and add this line:
size = size / 10;

Before:

///
/// Normalizes an entry order's size.
///
double NormalizeEntrySize(string symbol, double size)
{
    double minlot  = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_MINLOT);
    double maxlot  = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_MAXLOT);
    double lotstep = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_LOTSTEP);

    if (size <= 0)
        return (0);

    if (size <= minlot)
        return (minlot);
        
    if (size >= maxlot)
        return (maxlot);
        
    double steps = NormalizeDouble((size - minlot) / lotstep, 0);
    
    size = minlot + steps * lotstep;
        
    return (size);
}

After:

///
/// Normalizes an entry order's size.
///
double NormalizeEntrySize(string symbol, double size)
{
    double minlot  = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_MINLOT);
    double maxlot  = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_MAXLOT);
    double lotstep = MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_LOTSTEP);
    
    size = size / 10;

    if (size <= 0)
        return (0);

    if (size <= minlot)
        return (minlot);
        
    if (size >= maxlot)
        return (maxlot);
        
    double steps = NormalizeDouble((size - minlot) / lotstep, 0);
    
    size = minlot + steps * lotstep;
        
    return (size);
}

In that way all the orders you send will be with lots / 10. Example: 0.4 will be 0.04 lots.

Forex Strategy Trader 0.5.0.1 Beta

Release:    Freeware

Requires:    Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0, MetaTrader v4

This is an early Beta version. Please send us your feedback.

Installation

Please be sure that your system has the latest Microsoft updates.

1. Register an account to a MetaTrader broker. Install MetaTrader.
2. Install Forex Strategy Trader

Two files must be copied in the MetaTrader's folder: MT4-FST Library.dll and MT4-FST Expert.mq4. In normal conditions the installer will copy these files for you. If this operation fails, you have to copy the files manually. Both files are in the program's MetaTrader folder:
• Put MT4-FST Library.dll in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader\experts\libraries folder.
• Put MT4-FST Expert.mq4 in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader\experts folder.

Use the right path for the destination files. The MetaTrader folder may differ depending on your broker. Compile the Expert Advisor after starting the MetaTrader terminal.

Work

1. Start MetaTrader.

You have to make some changes in the MetaTrader settings in Tools - Options - Expert Advisors menu: 
- Allow live trading - checked
      - Ask manual confirmation - not checked;
- Allow DLL imports - checked;
     - Confirm DLL function calls - not checked;

2. Start MT4-FST Expert. If the expert name is printed in gray, you have to compile it.

3. Start Forex Strategy Trader. If everything is OK, it will connect to MT4.

4. Select the chart symbol and period in Forex Strategy Trader (must be the same as the chart that FST EA is loaded on), load a strategy and press "Start Automatic Execution" button.
