Quoting the-game
One more time for the dummies (no offence, just a phrase!):

Lot Size = Last Flat Equity * (MMTU / 100) * (Leverage / [Standard or Mini Units])

e.g.

Starting Capital: $5000
MMTU: 0.4
Leverage: 500:1
Standard units = 100,000 (By the way, Mini units = 10,000)

Lot size = 0.1


Let's say the EA has grown your account to $7500 and there are no trades placed yet

Last Flat Equity: $7500
MMTU: 0.4
Leverage: 500:1
Standard units = 100,000 (Mini units = 10,000)

Lot size = 0.15


As you can see it will automatically calculate the...

I´m happy for that.
Hi Caillou,

In all the Art Phantoms, there are variables inputs for Sunday = 0, Monday =1, Tuesady=2 etc each with an ascending number.

Do you or anybody else know what these vaiable inputs relate to?

Could a coder use these inputs (or create others) to control the number of baskets that the EA closes on each day after which number the EA will not trade on that particular day - there are some traders, like this writer, who is happy with 2 basket closures per week day.

Perhaps someone can give this some thought

Sorry Nicastro,

I have never used these inputs. Maybe a coder could help you......

what it 'should' be is 0 for false, 1 for true.
Only one way to tell other than waiting for an answer, set them and see what it does

Yes, these inputs could be used to control the baskets closed on each day.[/quote]

Anybody able and willing to code this?

Caillou with wht setting you are testing Ph_AddSix_03bx_CL_TH_PS.mq4
I put cut losser 1.5 (by default) and PP= 1 on very small account of $500.
Now equity is $483 but profit target is still $505. I dont know how much time it will take to recover.
Have you set CL true?

Hi,

My settings are: MMTU: 0.4, PP: 1.0, CLM: 2.0. And yes, actually in small DD but DD. I want to try something different because when you are in DD, although a small DD, the big problem is that during all this time, you have no closures.

So when the basket get closed, I'm going to set to True StopAfterNoTrades option and run the EA at London Open and at New York Open. If before these 2 openings the PP is not reach, I will close manually if the loss is small or let the basket untill it closes if the loss is big. So I will have max 2 closures per day, but I will open a basket only at the start of each session. I have noticed that when a basket is opened at the start of one session, it closes usually faster.

Maybe in this way we can avoid some DD.........

It has been very tough days for both addsix_2a and adsix_3bx-CL EA's.

The first one has 28 open trades and DD 3.8 %. The second one has cut three loosing trades 300 $ and has very high target profit to close.

Yes, it's not effective to have a basket open for a long time in my opinion. That's why I will try to reduce this time....

Perhaps I'm being dumb but I've read the entire thread and have tried both APF and APFEU over the past 6 hours without a single trade.
I have an MB Trading account and although sometimes I get the window flashing with Buy and Sell trades appearing as though they're being made at the top of the window, no actual trades have been made yet.
Could this be my account or have I done something daft ?
