Partial Fills

[euclid]

I am trying to understand the implications of your implementation of partial fills in MT4. I have a couple of questions.

1. Is there any way of testing this on the demo. MBT have a feature on their demo where any order with a size divisible by three gets a three way partial fill. Is there anything similar on FXopen that we can use to test our EAs?

2. If I have for example a limit order with size of 1.5 lots, and 1 lot is filled leaving 0.5 lots pending. Can I modify that 0.5 lot pending order, even though it is now smaller than the minimum size for a new order?

Hi

1) Partial fills on demo (and live) are based on market conditions. You can't force a partial fill to trigger. On demo, partial fill is partly random and partly caused by the demo volume in the level II quotes.

2) You can't open a new trade less than 1.00 lots, but if you have a partial close, the remaining 0.5 lots would be able to be modified or closed no problem.
