 Thanks for the quick reply ChrisB.

 I realize now this is the problem, however after all of today spent 
reading Ami KB and trial and error I am still no closer to getting 
this right.

Would you be able to post the correct contract specs in the 
information window for EURJPY mini lots or full lots if it's not 
possible to do mini's.
Cheers.
