I'm using your system on Signal Start (SS), but the numbers are weird and don't reflect your system.
So, for the drawdown that your system has right now (11.98% on SS), the profit seems to be overly underestimated (around 24%). What do you think I should set the "Multiplier"??
I'm setting it around 0.25 which should hypothetically set the Drawdown to 3%... Waiting for the next trade to see if it reflects the right lot sizes

hi Khalid!
sorry, I never looked here and got no notifications about any posts :)
anyway, if this is still important for you - everything is described at HandsomeJack SS page - why there are wrong numbers, and everything else.

holy cow no :) that was a one-time max DD in January, 2015, when CHF disconnected from Euro, that was very hard week for the bot. the average DD through last year was something like 5-7%, sometimes going up to 12-15%, but that is not normal.

I`ve made some important changes because my broker trades count limitation is 512, and Jack was operating large amounts of trades (it came to 129 earlier this week). now the trades count is a lot times less, so it will close much faster, therefore - it won`t loose profit while closing the current trades sequence, and, what is more substantial - won`t reach the trades count cap in this universe. these changes don`t touch the risk management, so generally trading process is the same as earlier, just less trades.
happy trading!
happy trading!

hello!
sorry to hear that, pal.
really, I don`t know what to say. it seems to be a signal service problem (or pings between your broker and SignalStart servers) because I`ve got some bucks in plus, and have no idea why and how could you lose something.
sincerely,
Olaf

hi
I had enough of money in my account and lot multiplier on signal start set to 1.0. But my account lost about 20%. what can be the reason?
I didn't receive any margin call.
pls advise me.
thanks
If there is slippage the SignalStart will not copy the trades. In this case, most probably the problem is your broker. Best option is to use same broker as the signal provider, in this case Forex4you.
