Thanks! :)
It's just an experiment since I don't consider myself a seasoned automated systems developer. I'm hoping my amature coding skills combined with a very good track record of successful manual trading can preform well.
Hence the lower starting account balance, but if things continue as good as they've been so far I might bump that up quite a bit.
Cheers!

Also, quick overview for people who haven't read the automated trading journal on ForexFactory (where this account was birthed:)
https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=391701
* Strategy was created on my own from scratch.
* Used code snippits from around the net to help develop faster.
* Not a coder by trade, only had some scripting experience from my old IT career and a few self-interest courses in Python to fall back on.
* Absolutely no martingale or other risky betting methods are in use, account and capital preservation are key and the algo will bail on a trade that isn't working out. Size and risk are done dynamically by the Algo, and never increase with drawdown (only increase size as the account grows.)
* The algo is not for sale and there is zero commerical intent with this published record. I'm only useing MyFXBook for analytics and to provide a transparent (3rd party confirmed) record for my journal.
Cheers all!
