Question IB FX contract Size and NT FX Contract size Issues

Hello,

My understanding after going through the help doc is that an NT contract size of 1 FX contract = IB FX contract size of 25K.
Why then, when my strategy sends a buy/sell order of two, I get a popup error that the order of 17K was rejected because it is less than the 25K minimum (See attached pic).

Where does the 17K size comes from???? How could I solve this issue?

Could you please help?

Cheers,
Obi

Hi,

It looks like the message is coming from IB. You might want to contact them for more info.

Not sure if you have your account in $, but it could be it's in British Pounds since that symbol is displayed.
