Hi Team,
I have a personal account with Dorman and a denial data feed, however when I try and place a trade with 2 contracts it comes up with an error stating that the symbol only allows max 1. Symbol ESZ25_FUT_CME
There is enough funds in the account to be able to place 2 contracts however this is not letting me. Can we get this fixed?
Thanks

Check the following setting and see if it is set to 1. If it is, then either set it to 0, or to some value that you want to be the maximum you can place for an order:
Global Symbol Settings: Use Global Trade Position Limit (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings)

If not the above, then check the individual symbol (ESZ25_FUT_CME) and see if the setting for "Order Quantity Limit" is set to 1 there. Again, if so, then change it to 0 or some other value that you want to have as a control.

If none of the above apply, then check with your broker to see if they have a limit set for this product for you for some reason.
