This is a more specific problem on for me (think so)

I use directFN software provided by Asha Phillip S. There i can find a field of "min fill". It is disabled.
It is there to specify a minimum quantity is nt it?
When I m purchasing or selling small quantities are traded creating unexpected loss.

Can someone help me to sort this out

Minimum fill is 100 by default in the normal board and you can specify the minimum fill in ODD board.

there is software problem in trading disadvantages to the traders but advantages to the Brokers . this is because of Minimum Brokerage (Rs 20 or 10 ?)and Minimum CDS fee(Rs 5). This happens when a buy order(say 1000 shares) is filled part by part in 100 or multiples of 100 shares specially for penny stocks .
I think the brokerage should be calculated for the final filled quantity of a single order but Its not happening at the moment . This must be corrected .

There is no software problem. Minimum fill quantity is not supported by CSE.
You have to be very careful when dealing with shares which are trading below Rs.13.40

thank you all

One of my friends use the CDAX pro provided by some other broker company. It too has this Min fill field and there my friend can specify that min amount in CDAX.
This is a unfair disadvantage for a DirectFN users, isnt it so.
brokers who provide DirectFN earns extra money.

Go to the folder, xxx\DirectFN\DirectFN TWS.
where xxx is the path you have installed directfn(usually it is c:\)
Find the file RuleEngine.cs and make a copy of it in a safe place.
(in case you accidentally edit the content)
Open file RuleEngine.cs in word pad.
-------------------------------------------------------------
public virtual int DFM_NEW_ORDER_MINFIL_ENABLE() {
if ((price * quantity) < 15000) return 0;else return 1;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------
Do you see a line like above?
I'm asking about "(price * quantity) < 15000)" statement

PS: FYI tampering with directfn source code is not advisable and it is illegal

Dileepa thank you for the information,
what you mean is that, it is not possible to specify a min fill in small transactions??
If so why do the give such config file in install dir. if it is not to edit, easily they could have encrypted or hidden it.

Prior to this change I had the difficulty of placing odd lot orders owing to minimus fill clouse. Now it is the other way, unable to place minimum fill orders. Stupid system beneficial only to those who earn fees.
