What is FTSE 100 called on JMI Brokers Ltd?
FTSE 100 is called UK100CASH on JMI Brokers Ltd. Use that exact string in SymbolSelect() or iCustom() — MetaTrader symbol names are case-sensitive and will not resolve a close match.
Broker symbol names diverge because each one configures its own market watch. The same instrument can appear as a plain code, with a letter suffix for an account type, or under a legacy vendor name. The code above was read from JMI Brokers Ltd's live server, not copied from marketing material.

An EA that sends a volume below this, or one that is not a whole multiple of the lot step, is rejected with error 131 (invalid trade volume) — normalise your lot size against both numbers before calling OrderSend.
