Error code 4051 Not enough money

I successfully d/l EURUSD (2012-2020) to my MT4 platform and running MT4 strategy tester the above error happens everytime the EA tries to open a trade

Not enough money for Sell(or Buy) 0.0 EURUSD Error code=4051

invalid lots amount for FreeMarginCheck function

The EA uses a “risk factor” to determine the lot size on the equity/balance available but even reverting to 0.01 lot size, the error still occurs.

I have tried a few different EA’s and the same error occurs. Using other pairs that were not d/l from quantdatamanager complete the strategy tester ok.

Update: for some reason the error appears when starting balance is below $35000 which appears to coincide with a lot size of 0.1 within the EA’s.

I confirmed this by adjusting the start lot size within the EA’s to 0.1 with smaller balances

So, how can I use this data for lot sizes under 0.1?

Hi,

do you have SQ custom indicators correctly installed?

The other reason might be you are using an indicator based SL which is not correctly calculated. I would have to see the strategy to correctly evaluate. You can send to our [email protected] email and I will check

I dont recall d/l any SQ custom indicators with the data. Should I have?

Basically I cannot test any EA’s (that I have tried) with a lot size less than 0.1 so what could be a solution?

The EA’s I have tested either dont have a S/L or its a % of equity/balance S/L
