  1. [R15] MetaTrader 5 3/5 · GB Good app, needs work: Please can you change the lot size option. If you use a lot size for one asset it should stay the same in case you want to trade different assets. For example if I place a 0.5 trade on btcusd it should stay on 0.5 for that asset only and not transfer ober to others. I lost money because of this - not realising that the lot size was still high and placing 0.5 on gold when I us
