You told us that the maximum dd is at 200 pips.
Why is the dd of your basket 226?
I'm pretty sure he was giving an "approximate" total pip loss. No two accounts will exit the trades at the exact same point with an "equity" stop loss feature. My account closed at -202 pips. I'm sure a few other accounts closed with a few more or less pips than that. But the total loss was still about -200 pips...

nevermind, the only thing i care about is that maxmimum floating loss will never exceed 200 pips, i.e. worst case scenario will have realized -200 pips of loss, is that correct?
Yes.
The DD is not the problem. It is and will always be a part of trading.
I just like to know before what the exact risk is.
A loss of 226 is NOT the same like "maxmimum floating loss will never exceed 200 pips"

Fxpapa,
Yes, interested to know the below as well, you lost only a fraction of your account when your MM changed from 0.60 to 0.12, any reasons for that? Rest of the users obviously lost more percentage of the account.
Regards.

The strange thing is why the last trade LOTS only 0.12 (smaller than previous trades 0.6) ?!
if this money management risk adjust lots with balance /equity, I beliive they change the risk or the last trade is not the same system like before.
Why our lot trade not the same (smaller) with your last lot entry ?!

I thought it was obvious that the EXACT loss = the risk you set.. If you set 15% risk. Then exact maxmim loss is 15% of your equity.. This has been explained multiple times.. Think vendor just mentions that if you want a pip reference it will be around 200.. I mean please seriously before buying an ea do look at what the risks are and what the max loss can be.. It really just baffles me how many ignorent people there are and expecting fxpapa to be the holy grail.
As for that it uses 5 times less risk.. Never thought that maybe the vendor thought in these risky times where technical analysis does not really work and what eas tend to be based on.. And decided to reduce the risk until the storm settles? It ever occured to you that it might have been this that has happened?
Vendor is not responsible for your risk settings.. They merely said they used 15%.. But they have the right to reduce the risks when they want to right.. if you want to trade forex without doing anything then go find a fund manager.
I am just stunned how my inbox has been spammed by so many people just whining and whining saying how fxpapa always trade against the trend.. It's not a trend trader.. Again all these posts just opened my eyes how many people just uses/buys ea wfithout knowing the risks and how it trades. And also if you don't know it there is still always demo trading UNTIL you are absolutely comfortable with the risks you have set and with the losses that are accompanied with it.
With this I am unsubscribing from this thread. The serious spam I receive with stupid dumb whining questions are just hard to endure.

Lawrence,
The reason they reduced from 0.60 to 0.12 is obvious. They were uncertain that it was the moment to buy and had the feeling it would lose. The problem is that this feeling didn't reflect in the account we use and I think it would be better to stay out. So I view this negatively. Moreover, my EA didn't open the 3rd trade so it's not working as the seller says, which disappoints me deeply because this had to be fixed in version 3.

Dear Traders
Thanks for all comments.
Yesterday IBFX has reduced our account leverage to 1:10. That's why the trades lots has reduced.
IBFX has done this without our permission. We asked them to explain and I will post their answer here.
The Max DD should be about 200 pips. I'm sorry that ours is 226 pips but this may happens because we don't use hard SL.
The new update will be ready this weekend. We have coded the hard SL and TP point.
Thanks again for your helps and support. We try our best to make the EA better.
Feel free to contact our support ([email protected]) anytime you may need.
Best Regards
Mike

At its worst, FxPapa has only had -124 pips of drawdown, with +967 banked pips. That is awesome. I think I will be joining soon.

This was quoted April 3 and it still holds true.

It is true that leverage was changed for Canada. It is something to do with IROC and Canadian regulations and Tradestation

FxPapa,
Is it possible that you could include audible and visible alerts for all trade openings and closings in the new release? I would very much appreciate this since I cannot eyeball my accounts constantly.
Thank you!

As was already mentioned above, quite amazing that the vendor's account had a reduced position size on gbpusd going into a loss and yet the signal they sent out was normal size so whereas they lost just less than 4% running double risk, we all lost more than 7% at default. I am not impressed with this behavior and it leaves a negative impression with me.
Be afraid, very afraid?

As was also mentioned above, FxPapa's broker was forced to make changes to their account, resulting in the lower lot sizes. Keep on reading!

It's true what FxPapa said. I apologize for thinking FxPapa was not telling the truth. The change applies to Canadian residents only. Here is the link from IBFX:

that doesnt deny the fact that FXPapa was lucky on this trade, lol, he unwillingly reduced the effect of this bad trade on his history chart by almost 6 folds, ethically he should mention something about this on his website.
anyways, let's just hope we dont have similar trades in the near future, i am -1k USD so far with FXPapa, since i just started like 2 weeks ago.

Dear Alec
I'm sorry about this week. We are still trading but our leverage is 1:10. This seem it's because we are in Canada.
