Be careful when using the Multi Lot Factor as it can work for you or against you. I am running a demo account with the default settings except the MultiLotsFactor=1.3. As you can see in the attached image the lot size reached a worrying level and similarly the DD is high.
It's much safer not to use the lot multiplier even though it might take a while to exit the opened trades.

for me the lots are wrongs
too high with a multilot 1.3 for me good results with start 0,02

Great advice! Worth gold right here folks. Or cut your losses, which can easily be recovered another day.

Use small lot sizes. Test different settings. All my accounts green. Not ready to drop serious money live yet. Just a small chip.

When I wake up this morning. It was too late to cut loss on my real account. The only thing right now is the hope for a miracle comeback

What about your setting? Default also? Which pairs?

I switched to lots=0.01 before ECB, because I wanted to see how this EA would have performed.
Now it is stuck with a long grid at level 20.
It recognised tha change in trend, but did nothing to protect himself.
I think GT should add a strategy to activate when a trend change is detected.

Guys you need deactivate EA hours before important news. If you are trading on real account. You must do it almost with every EA.
My two demo accounts are ok. TP 2 Step 2 have - 166USD open trades with 0,05lot and +248USD for today.
Account with TP 5 and Step 5 have - 1 013USD with 0,05lot and +473USD for this crazy day.

This is where the money is made. You want these DD. How much you risk is ultimately on you. If you are not using multilots factor >1.0 you re sitting nice 0.2 lot.
It's just waiting game from here.

There is a strategy.

MultiLots factor_Trend Change

You have to set this. He advised it was risky but...
