			<description><![CDATA[<p>Portfolio is not a robot but a number of EAs put together into one EA file.</p><p>Secondly, the app doesn&#039;t distinguish the type of trading, the user does it if he/she wishes to do so by choosing preset indis, locked indis, for strategy generation. For instance, if you want trend following strats, you choose a preset indi or indis, which forces the generator to push out strats, which are to be within the current trend.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I find that although EA Studio uses swing trading logic for the robots, it also seems to open a lot of trades that go against the trend and end up with quite considerable drawdown. This is true of single robots as well as portfolio robots. I&#039;m wondering if this is intentional, a way to wait for bigger gains in the long run, or if I am doing something wrong? Is there a way I can protect my account against high drawdown?</p><p>I am using a lot size of 0.01 for every $100 capital. Is this too much to risk?</p><p>My problem is that I am risking most of my capital and getting negative free margin most of the time. I fear dropping into negative equity and ending in a stopout, which happened to me at the end of June. Starting with a smallish amount of capital (this time was $500, which was gifted to me), and not being in a position to recover easily if my account goes negative, this is quite a scary situation!</p>]]></description>
