flopps posted: tradingshed.... Sorry i should have made myself clearer regarding Demo. I used this EA in a Demo for the 2 week trial. What I meant by my statement is that for a long term evaluation of a EA "Robot", I believe it needs a live account. The only reason I chose a starting balance of 10K, was because I wanted to use the same settings/pairs etc as the developers account. The problem with Demo is that there is no slippage, no re-quotes and no spread variation. Now with this particular EA that probably doesn't matter so much, however I'm just looking...

Not exactly, it is true probably up to 100,000 account. After that it increases lots, e.g. for the account of 200,000 it starts trading with 2.4 or 2.5 lots. I'm talking about 2% risk set up. Fughe, you probably mentioned 1% risk, didn't you ?
