Can someone clarify the how the max position sizing on accounts calculated.
For instance, I setup a sim account to test a strategy, with a size of 1, thinking I only want to test with one lots, but it then actually seems to reject stop and close orders and counts them as part of the position size, even though it isn't, really. Is this correct?
For instance
I submit an order to buy - it get's filled.
Immediately submit a buy to cover, get's cancelled."Rejected: Order '46256dd609784fce8f12e083caf4a30b' can't be submitted: Exceeds account's maximum position quantity."
Logically I would not think this would count to position 'size', but perhaps it is an outstanding order limit? Could you clarify?
Thanks.
