While the remaining 3 closed in hefty profit.
Have you backtested the EA? Further, one can set any lot size they like.
I can see by the available live accounts, had the last trades all lost then about a 60% DD would have been easily achievable. A backtest isn't needed to find the obvious. It is inevitable.
Be afraid, very afraid?

robotchallenge posted:so is the default maximum risk around 10% per trade, and with upto 6 trades possible it's maximum drawdown 60%, so to set maximum risk at 30% drawdown, you would just manually change the lot size to half the default lot size the EA suggests for your account size? I couldn't see under settings anywhere to set a risk per trade, for the EA to then automatically determine the lot size based on this. So as the account balance grows you would have to manually adjust the lot sizing? thanks.babyjake1961 posted:robotchallenge posted:babyjake1961 posted:That is true but the default settings are scary!

I have mine set at 5% or half of default. I am assuming that 60% DD is achievable if the EA misses a few in a row, just add it up and assume the worse case scenario. And I am not really calculating 60% DD based on just missing 6 trades in one basket, I am more worried about a few baskets in a row, which will happen, and when it does, how will that look? Why the vendors account seems to have such large changes in lot size is a mystery to me since mine are adjusting smoothly with equity.

robotchallenge posted:Risk preferences are a highly individual matter. We are confident about our product and trade our risk capital, so we don't mind bigger drawdowns. Quite a few EA customers like 'going all in' for short-term superprofits while others trade what they can't afford to lose. As we don't know who's who, we let them pick their risk levels on their own.aeronthomas posted:robotchallenge posted:so is the default maximum risk around 10% per trade, and with upto 6 trades possible it's maximum drawdown 60%, so to set maximum risk at 30% drawdown, you would just manually change the lot size to half the default lot size the EA suggests for your account size?

babyjake1961 posted:It would be very useful to have a max risk per trade setting in % terms so the EA could calculate the lot size for each trade based on the hard SL. Most EAs offer a feature like this.

Hi, the last 2 trades closed in loss for me. Does anyone have new open trades like this account after NFP yesterday? I got none.
