Order refused: “exceeds the max order size guard” in Senzoukria

What you see

An order is refused with “order quantity {qty} exceeds the max order size guard ({cap}) — raise it in Trading settings if intended”. On the compact order pad, the order cells are disabled and hovering them shows “Quantity exceeds the max order size guard ({cap}).” A quantity of zero or less is refused with “order quantity must be greater than zero”.

Why it happens

The guard is stored on the backend and shared by every window. It is checked on every new order and on every modification that changes the quantity, before the order reaches the broker, so a webview cannot bypass it. The setting describes itself as “A safety net against a slip of the finger, not a rule”: when it is set, “Orders above {n} contracts are refused.”

How to fix it

  • If the size is intended, open Settings → Trading and raise “Maximum order size”, or empty the field for no cap. The change applies when the field loses focus.
  • If the size is a slip, lower the quantity in the ticket; the Qty field is shared by the DOM, the quick bar and the chart menu.
  • Remember that micros count as ordinary sizes: the hint notes that on micros twenty contracts is an ordinary size.

What it is not

  • Not your broker’s or prop firm’s contract limit. Those are enforced by the broker and come back as a broker rejection with its own wording.
  • Not the demo account’s “Contract cap”, which only applies to the local simulation.

When to contact support

If the problem persists, contact support through Menu → Report a problem, or on the Senzoukria Discord. If the field is empty and orders are still refused with this message, include the exact text and the window you traded from.

Frequently asked questions

Does the guard apply to the chart and the DOM too?
Yes. It applies to every order entry of the app, because it is checked in the backend.
Can I set a negative value to disable it?
No. Negative values are refused (“max order size cannot be negative (0 means no cap)”). Leave the field empty for no cap.
