Change the lot size, if necessary

Re: standard account EA to trade micro account

You have to also re-test your strategies with data from your micro-lots account.
The data dynamics may differ in a state that makes the strategy unusable. It may need (or not) readjustment.

Monte-Carlo test is a must anytime you change the trading environment.

Re: standard account EA to trade micro account

Hi, I have the same problem. I have created 4 EA's for build a portfolio for a micro account but don't work.                       I changed, in control panel, the lot size in 1000 and min. lot in 0,01, initial account 1000EUR with leverage 200.
Backtests are ok but in mt4 EA's work only in standard account. I use VPS but problem isn't it.
Who can help me? Forgive me for my english

No problem, but I should mention the broker.
I have an micro account with ****** First i changed lot in 1000 and min.lot in 0,01. For backtest i used EURUSD.csv (example EURUSD1440.csv) beacouse backtest with EURUSDmicro1440.csv (previously EURUSDmicro1440.hst) will don't work. Finally i fixed the 4 EA's not in EURUSD chart but in EURUSDmicro chart.
