I think because of how the broker shows the lot size, the EA is using a 10% equity target, which is working well for such big moves like today's. If the market goes flat, he might be waiting a long time to take a profit, though.

But his actual lot size is 0.20, which is correct. it's just the target that's changed.

It is correct for the EA to do that according to the math. It's 0.01 per $1000, so $1001 is dipping into the next $1000, next 0.01 lot.
that's why 2001 was the beginning of the new millennium, not year 2000.

@pipster

I'm not sure what would be different broker to broker as far as targets as a percentage of equity increase, that would seem to be just a calculation.

Here's my setup, I think all I changed was the start time to get going on Sunday night.

Your settings are exactly correct, recommended, and default.

It is the calculation that is affected by how your broker displays the lot size. FXCM displays 0.1 lot as 10 lots, which makes the EA think you're really trading with 10 lots, instead of 0.1 lots, in it's calculation for equity target. The actual lots being traded are still 0.01 per $1000 of account balance, but the target is 100X more, or 10%. That's ok.

Don't change anything, we want to see what happens long term on your account, as is. It may be we have stumbled upon an improvement.

There are a lot of people out there who would be really, really happy to make 100% a month, even if it was only 1 day in a month. This shows it's worth the wait while markets are flat.

I supposed 0,01 for every 1000 usd. I thought after it reach 2000 0,02 lot will be opened. ok it's style a bit different
