That's a known bug. It will be fixed soon. Meanwhile, you can set that Max Risk % Total to 0 to let the trades open.
Hi
Please may I ask for any button that can open a trade to be a different design / colour / stand out from all other buttons? I know that may sound strange, but I have a couple of times pressed that by accident as it just looks like other buttons - for some reason I press "trade" to setup the trade not to actually take it! oops.

Will consider that. Thank you! For now, you can just tick the Ask for confirmation checkbox to avoid unexpected trade executions.
That's a known issue with the trading instruments that have a period in their names. It will be fixed in the next version, which will be most likely released today.
I've had to change broker and I am now unable to start the Position Sizer, at the point I start to load the algo the following error is generated

Hi there,
I have an interesting issue relating to commissions. Currency of my account is AUD. My broker's commission is 2.25 per 100,000 notional value in the base currency for FX and precious metals (other instruments are $0 commission). examples:
I have an interesting issue relating to commissions. Currency of my account is AUD. My broker's commission is 2.25 per 100,000 notional value in the base currency for FX and precious metals (other instruments are $0 commission). examples:
- for 1 lot of EURUSD, commission is EUR 2.25, which is then converted to ~AUD$3.74.
- 0.35 lots of XAUUSD is ~US$100,000 in notional value, commission is US$2.25, which is then converted to ~AUD$3.63.
- for 1 lot of AUDUSD, commission is AUD$2.25 which does not need to be converted.
- Commission field is 0.00 on all instruments.
- Reward result appears to be adjusted for commission on FX instruments, however it is not converted to the account currency (ie it is using 4.50 per 100,000 notional per round-trip regardless of the pair's base currency).
- Locked TP level appears not to be adjusted for commission (ie, the level is set at 1R before commission). I'm not sure if this is the intended behaviour.
- In XAUUSD, or any commission-payable instrument where 1 lot =/= 100,000 notional (it seems, I haven't checked all of them), the reward result is not adjusted for commission at all.

That looks like a bug or some sort of misconfiguration between server/client. I'll take a look at it.
cTrader Position Sizer updated to version 1.09 to fix some important bugs:
- Fixed a crash when there is an unexpected character in the trading instrument's name (a number sign, a period, etc.). (@threepe, @jusuf00, @maurozx27)
- Fixed a bug with total percentage risk restrictions (on the Trading tab) not working as intended. (@threepe, @scarface_be)
- Fixed a bug that prevented the spread from displaying. (@ZeThags)
- Fixed a crash when switching timeframes with the additional Entry line label on and lines hidden. (@ZeThags)
