When I trade XBTUSD with Bitmex using sierrachart, it shows the account cash balance as 9567225.00 and Account Value as 9526780.00. But I only deposit 0.1 xbt on my account. it seems not showing correctly. Without the correct balance, the trader usually will not open his position with correct size. my question is : What is the unit of that cash balance? The balance you see in Sierra appears to be in Satoshis (a hundred millionth of a Bitcoin). 9,567,225 Satoshis is 0.09567225 XBT which rounds to 0.1 XBT. I haven't found any confirmation of this other than doing some test trades in Sierra Chart with BitMex TestNet, trading various amounts of XBT-USDT. It makes sense that you can trade as low as one Satoshi, the smallest amount possible. Is there any way I could change it by myself? At same time, how I could limit my openning size of the position. It would be nice if we could enter a multiplier so we can deal in smaller numbers of Sierra contracts.
