Topic: Initial Amount

Hello Traders

Just curious to know if the initial amount set on the FSB Pro control panel......would it have an effect to the strategy that will be generated?

Re: Initial Amount

No, it hasn't.
But if you set a very large amount, it can be impossible to open a position due to the margin requirements.
Also if you set a very low per cent entry and it is calculated to less than 0.01 lots, it will also ignore the signal.

We can say that the entry amount doesn't matter, if it is in the operational limits.

Thanks for the feedback.
