Hello,
What is your RoundLotSize setting?
From the error it looks like it is 1.
The error message is quite clear
you are trying to buy ONE share (reqLotSize = 1) which price is $645000
but requested position size is 0.0454545% of equity which is $90909.
Since requested size is LESS than the price of ONE share, you can't buy it
probably because you have used roundlotsize = 1
Best regards,

I am striving to build some simple testing of the Norgate premium historical indexes (PDU), and I am getting execution problems due to ReqLotSize. This is not using futures, and my intention is to be able to purchase partial shares, if needed. I have changed everything I can find that should allow this, but nothing seems to work. Due to using adjusted data, some of the individual share prices can become very high.
Specifically, I am getting the error symbol "not entered because of insufficient funds or wrong positionsize/value"; see attached picture.
This particular code intends to buy all shares in the index, dividing the money equally, but I have also tried it using fix $ amounts, as well as with rotation systems, and I am getting similar problems. I have pasted the code and settings; any suggestions is very much appreciated.
