Topic: Own Thoughts from other User for Live Trading

Hello.

I have a Question for all.

Thanks Sleytus, we can very good analyse the Strategies.

What you think.

How many Trades with 0.01 lot and how much Profit for one EA / Strategie it must have to make 0.02 lot.

My thoughts are 100 Trades and 100 Dollar Profit with 0.01 and i make 0.02.

What think other User for it?

Hello Rantampla,

I personally prefer a % based strategy. I use 1% of available margin for the position sizing. This enables a compounding effect (positions get larger as you win or conversely get smaller as you lose)

Love to see how other people manage their position sizing

Re: Own Thoughts from other User for Live Trading

In the brave, new world of Portfolio EAs -- I leave the lot sizes the same and simply open another chart window and attach another Portfolio EA.  If the portfolios include the same EAs (but with different magic numbers), then it is roughly equivalent to doubling the lot sizes.  I'm not claiming this is the best way -- it's just that it seems whenever I scale-up the lot sizes then the strategies don't perform as well.  I'm not sure why...

Hello Rantampla,

You can do this on small accounts (5k Usd) - just make sure you run with 200:1 leverage, minimum trade size 0.01 lot.   And regarding your second question (I generally build systems that add to winners - so I run 10 per account max)

smile

Enjoy
