I use a trading bot, which I am happy with...but am looking to optimize.
I was thinking to adjust the lot settings for each pair based on the YTD profit per trade. So .... increase the lot sizes on the highest profit per trade and vice versa. Does this make sense? Which is more appropriate, using the YTD results or only the last month results as the basis (ie most recent performance or long term performance to drive the adjustments)?
Please provide your thoughts.

Hellow, use the most recent performance due to the markets not being stable for now and having lots of uncertainties, from geopolitical changes, data driven markets, central banks interventions, rate cuts bets apply the risk to reward ratio appropriately. What kind of bot are you using?

I would use last 3 months data. 1 month is too short to get anything robust

Depends on how you trade. If dude prefers scalping or medium-term trading, then 1 month for analysis is quite enough in my opinion.
better to test strategy on different equal periods to see if it robust or not. This is standard approach in analysis.

Hello sir. How do you trade? Can you tell more about your strategy?

hi, using YTD results for lot size adjustments offers a broader view of performance, but incorporating recent performance (last month) can be useful for adapting to current market conditions. balancing both approaches might provide the best results.

Hi, I use the FedBot by NURP. I had a major disaster last week. I'm not in position to give anyone advice. Good luck

That was a horrible product, tens of millions of dollars gone down the drain. Too bad the company is continuing to promote its products

Always slate your lot size max 1 percent of your capital. This helps me keep profit maximized and with the lowest risk

1 percent is so low though. My account is small and if I risk only 1% I will never make enough to live off

Well depending what you started with. But be patient and grow your capital with time, it's a good strategy, just if you will be patient. Imagine having a 1k start or 2 and the first 6 months with consistency you have over 40k, that is good trade.
