My position size looks wrong

When a fill is bigger or smaller than you expected, a quantity setting is usually the cause. This guide walks each one.

Markdown

Your fill came in bigger or smaller than you expected. A quantity setting almost always explains it. Work through the checks below to find the one that changed your size.

Note

Lune sizes each order from your quantity mode, any per-account multiplier, and your caps. One of these usually explains a surprise size.

1
Check the quantity mode

Open the automation or copy setting and check how quantity is set. A fixed quantity places the same size each time. A mode that scales by account size gives a different size per account. Confirm the mode matches what you want.

2
Check the per-account multiplier

Each account can carry a multiplier that scales the base quantity up or down. A multiplier of 2 doubles the size on that account. Open the account settings and confirm the multiplier is what you expect.

3
Check for micro to mini conversion

Micro and mini contracts are different sizes of the same market. If a size looks off by a large factor, confirm you are trading the contract you meant. A mini is much larger than its matching micro.

4
Check the max position cap

A max position cap limits how large a position can grow on an account. If your size is smaller than expected, the cap may have trimmed it. Open Risk Management and review the cap.

5
Trace the size end to end

Start from the base quantity, apply the multiplier, then apply any cap. Compare that result to your fill. This shows which step changed the number.

Still stuck?#

If the settings all look right but the size is still off, reach out. Join the Lune Discord or contact support, and include the account, the expected size, the actual size, and the contract.
