Hi Team

Error: Trade Order Error - Order with quantity 1 will cause symbol settings Position limit to be exceeded. Limit: 5. MaximumPotentialPositionQuantity: 6. Position: 0. Text: Parent order. Tag: 6contracts

How can we get this fixed as i sould be able to trade a maximum 20 micro contracts based on the account.

The particular error you are getting is coming from your broker, so you need to have them check why your account is limited to a total quantity of 5.

Just so you are aware, there are also items within the Sierra Chart software. Refer to the following:
Global Symbol Settings: Use Global Trade Position Limit (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings)

And also be aware that there are "per symbol" settings for the Trade Position Limit and the Order Quantity Limit. Refer to the following and the item below it:
Global Symbol Settings: Trade Position Limit
