Perhaps I’m just missing something, but I can’t seem to figure out how to split lots on an Alpari MT4 demo account. The strategy I am working on involves a very common practice of buying multiple lots initially and then exiting them at different times. When I buy 2 mini-lots (0.2), they seem to be “locked” together. I initially use the same stop, but when it comes time to set a stop to exit 1 of the lots (0.1), MT4 won’t let me. The number of lots is “grayed out” so that it cannot be changed. I queried Alpari and got some form reply about last year’s FIFO rules, but what I’m doing does not violate those rules. I asked them if the demo account worked differently than a live account, but the reply claimed that the demo account had all the functionality of a live account.
Suggestions?
