DislikedVery bad results for me today: - 2500€ micro account burst: https://www.myfxbook.com/portfolio/promised/778244 - 25000€ micro account in dd, with one pair (EA) at maximum 3.84 lots in deep water and not able to take any further position: https://www.myfxbook.com/portfolio/25kpromised/783690 The only one doing well is a 1k micro trading only one pair (AUDCAD): https://www.myfxbook.com/portfolio/mt4-202476/792817Ignored
DislikedAgree Ty. It was to be expected. Will remove EA and substitute it by AN. Limiting max lot to 3.84 is good, although I would have already recover with an additional position, BUT it could have gone further south as well (+200pips range for EA today, definitively not a pair to trade lol).Ignored

Dislikedi got same notice from ProfiForex, saying this is a 'new year thing'. won't happen again ...... crap, i can't imagin how shitty a broker can be to make such an incident to its customers. however, this is same thing as your power out, internet down, VPS server down, those kind of scenarios. you need to make a plan dealing with these situation. {quote}Ignored

Dislikedyou may add a function in the EA the function works like this: if (today = friday and open position of pair xxxyyy = 0), EA stop trading pair xxxyyy you might even use thursday as it is safer. but these solutions can never fully solve the problem, especially this is from the fucking broker side----you simply have no control after it happens. {quote}Ignored
