Position Sizer

I have screen captures from TopStepX and Topstep / Tradingview Tradovate

If you add 1000 into the Lot Size for CL on TopStepx the position size is correct

If you add 100 into the Lot Size for GC on TopStepX the position size is correct.

It would appear that the position sizing tool doesn't correlate correctly and you have to enter the Full Point/Multiplier to get the correct position sizing

See below each symbol Specifications

Tradingview/Tradovate/TopStep combination allows for a right click then a limit order but TopStepX does not...Or have I missed some functionality on TopStepX??

When I right click off the position sizer tool I do not get the correct entry level as per the position sizer tool unless I click at exactly the entry price level (which can cause another area of error for trade entry...). In this example the price I want to enter is 4.5560

Also, the position sizer tool is redundant unless it can size correctly as per the tick symbol contract specifications. The position sizer tool needs to reference (in the back end) so that Lot size doesn't need to be enter by the trader as a Full Point / Multipler (as shown in below images. In this example I have utilised HG (Copper)

*****************************************

I see the Position Sizer tool mentioned several times previously with a timestamp of 3+ months ago.
Has this progressed up the que of priorities?
Is it on the Road map? As I can not see it…(I could be looking in wrong area…)
Do you have a user story written with acceptance criteria defined?
What is it’s parent Feature or Theme?
Has it been released to a testing environment?
When is it target to be released into production environment?

Thank you for getting this far into my submission :-)

DOM Position Sizing

I would like to see a custom setting added to the DOM:

Please consider allowing a trader to remove or add position size buttons to their DOM panel. Instead of having a 5, 10, or 15 lot button displayed on an accounts DOM that does not have the buying power or has not accomplished scaling plan yet.

Example: I have a $50k XFA. I have just started it and can only trade MAX 2 lots on micros OR minis. I would like to be able to remove the 3,5,10, etc. position buttons displayed on my DOM until I have reached the $1500 account appreciation to being scaling up.

\Thank you TSX team :) We enjoy building this with you.

"I just started the 50K challenge today, but I can’t use micro or mini lots. My dashboard won’t let me trade with less than 1 lot. How can I use micro lots? Please help."
