Hey guy's,
Can anyone help me out. I have a demo account with 5 grand and I'm using the inputs below. If all goes well, I'm going to trading live with a grand. If possible, can anyone give me there opinion on what inputs I should use for both the demo account (5k) and a real account (1k).
This is what I have for the demo account.
lots: 1.0
L.R.R. 1.0
M.O. 1
M.L. 100
aaa. 13
bbb.14
T.P. 20.0
S.L. 0.0
T.S. 50.0
Span Gator 0.5
Slippage 3
S.G.D 0.2
S.G.WPR 0.0
Thank SO much

Yes, if you set lot size to 0.

Ok it is killing me again. But I'm going to let it run this time.
I think the only way this autopilot works is to make sure you have enough room to ride out the drawdown and wait for it to come back up.
Just make sure you have the margin to handle it. Keep the lot size as small as possilble.

wow short...how many different currency pairs are you trading???
it took me a long time to realize all you need is eurusd...all you really need is one trade.
thanks Alan...Mr. Voice of reason...:p
to many trades just give profits to the brokers
and why not trade the currency pair with the most volume eurusd.
it took a while for me to come to that realization... you can't back test what you got going there and thats the scarey part:eek:
good luck!
if you ever get introuble with multi trades and you need to raise your margin% you can modify your trades to tp10

I was just playing around with other currency pairs.. 1 trade with lot size at 0

11-07-2008, 01:38 PM
If you lower the TP on existing trades it will lower your % Margin ?
So your saying 1 trade with a larger lot size is better than 5 trades with a lower lot size.... Correct?
it took me a while to see too... that multiple currency pairs doesn't help
you can't back test it properly your trading blind
10 trades at .02 or 20 cents per trade = 2 bucks
1 trade at .2 or 2 dollars = 1 dollars
1 good chance is better that 10 chances all over the place..
looking at your results you have a few sore toes... you are making but open trades might take it all back and more....basically just like me you are spinning your wheels...I've been spinning mine for weeks
try to optimize what you can get out of one good trade....with the lowest risk possible

I am just waiting for those losers to hopefully comeback.. I have set all my trade sizes at 1 so no more trades until these are done... I still like usd chf so I think I will trade that too but with 1 trade.... Its crazy how logic is changing toward what Alan said all along.. Did you post your results from yesterday?
If you lower the TP on existing trades it will lower your % Margin ?
So your saying 1 trade with a larger lot size is better than 5 trades with a lower lot size.... Correct?correct...I have 15 ttrades running on this demo account just to prove it to myself....the margin is a 8236%

Alan, what are the absolute maximum parameters that you would use for a 20K account?
The lot size of 0 that you recommended earlier has made about $115 per day for the past 8 days with less than $500 drawdown. Not bad, but has sustained no losses as yet which accounts for the success.
One would need a 200K+ account to really make some serious $ with a 0 lot size methinks.
Starting with a 20K account, it would take a long time to get to that point!

well i don't think so.
i'm trading on a real account, started with 1000$ and i'm making also over 100 bucks a day.. so with a 20k account you can get much better results then only 100$ a day. just ask earl he knows how to make serious money with fap ;)

Hi Skeptic,
If you have set it to 0.0 lots, what have you set the LotsRiskReductor to?
The default is 1, so it will only risk 1% of your account per trade. If you set the risk higher, the lot size will increase, giving you bigger wins (and loses! ;) )
-Dave
Skeptic....
I think you need to get a better grasp on the EA before you start to throw big money at it....
If I had 20K to invest The way things are going now I could double it in a week...
but who knows how long these good times will roll!

Ok with my settings my account has gone from $1050.00 to $1716.27 since 11/07 So I made approx 666.27 per 1000.00 so with 20k I would have made about $13,3524.40 in the same amount of time. ( It actually would have been substantially more with the Lot size at 0 which I use )
Now I am trading pretty aggressively 4% Risk x 2 trades x 2 currencies eur/usd usd/chf
But a quick back test on 1 pair eur/usd for the same period of time 4% risk with 20k you should profit $1320.00 so thats $330.00 per day ( Thats taking a 10k account and multiplying the results x 2 so I think if it were a 20k account it would be more )
Now my brain hurts :)
