Why is my position smaller or bigger than I asked?

Lot steps, minimum lots and “above requested risk”.

Risk-based size is rounded down to the market's lot step, so it is usually a little under your risk. If it falls below the minimum lot, the trade opens at the minimum lot and is marked “above requested risk”, with the risk it actually carries (E11). Use size_for to see the size before you trade it.
