Have a nice day
{quote} Thanks Genry I thought it was a percentage of the account size and it automatically recalculates and adjusts the $ figure. but the way you are describing it we will have to update this value manually as our account grows
This option works only in the tester. Yes, he is set manually before the start of the optimization. It allows you to estimate the minimum deposit and settings that do not destroy.
The logic is simple:
you have the initial $ 100 (or $ 100,000
);you are ready to invest in the forex market, but before he could destroy them you want them to pay back the money several times
;after optimization necessary to disassemble a lot of useless results: this setting makes it for you - comparing DD and initial deposit.
Will lightly hope we will begin to successfully trade and to the "Day X" we will have enough money to survive the big DD.
Better check each trading day history as the first trading day - without increasing the deposit.

@John how is your trading? I'm trying your set file and I have around 4 trades per day. In general it may small but profitable. However on the Russian forum I see that they are able to manage to have more trades per day.
I only have 2 trades today!
You can modify the set with big Money and for back-testing, It will be good profitable.
For me, I only want to know the ultimate value $100 of the set, for $100 get profit is very hard than $1000 or $10000.
After that, you can modify $1000/$10000, all up to you!~
Because of the different broker and account with diff spreads, so for this $100 account, only can do this. But you can try to use Alpari ECN account to try, I think the result will be same with them! I am lazy to change a broker to try, so just build up my one with my broker(NO ECN Account) for the testing.
For the back-testing, just monitored the spread of pair with your broker 3 times per day and get an average, just used it for back-testing, if you made it, the good result will be always with you!
Just shared some exp of mine, hope useful!~
Thanks

. My trades are the same as yours. When reviewing your earlier posts I believe that it does makes sense that the EA only make a few trades per day to limit the risks you are exposed to.
{quote} This is indeed very useful
NO more LOSE equal to GAIN! You always have chance in the market!~
Enjoy it！~

Happy New Year everyone! Success and profit!
I wish for myself to understand what is the initial deposit is required for this wonderful counselor. Until New Year's holiday have decided to reduce the time of all the data on subsidence in one excel file. I used the opportunity to withdraw Adviser to the log statistics and the profit margin on each new candle. After using gridstat2 got excel at loss for each pair. Well, then I brought everything to a single file, which is visible to the drawdown by the simultaneous operation of all seven pairs of caps. The file was very large - 75Mb.
Couples and took sets of hats. Klots = 1. Statistics for the 2011-2016 year. Quotes Alpari, unfortunately I do not have the TDS, so that the data is not entirely correct, but a rough picture show.
It is best shown EURJPY, EURUSD - stable couples, the drawdown is not more than 1500. Worse GBPUSD came to -13,000.
Pairs are occasional outbursts that "spoil" All Statistics such as on EURGBP. 21/05/2013 Net opened and gave drawdown -5400, while the rest of the time not more than -660.
Looking at the results, for example, leaving only EURJPY, EURUSD, you can start with a deposit 1600 and use multiplication lotnosti 0.01 to 1600. As a result of 2011-2016gg would receive an increase in securities 300 times in 6 years

{quote} Dear Santoso777, !
Have a nice day
Those humps are coming because of the grid expanding to its last set where it takes very large risk and then closes on reversal with big gains. Somehow the strategy tester is marking it as DD because the first of the grid closes giving big gains and then rest of the grid closes and pulls the balance down. This is not really a DD but just a single set of grid that is closing. Also try the testing thru 2008 ...and then see the number of times when the balance (green line) dips into valley. Those are the real DD and when they happen, they can kill...
No Sangreal in the market can keep your all the way winning!
Everybody must keep changing to fit the market!
Last 8 years, US president is Barack Hussein Obama, this year will be changed to Donald Trump!~
So we must change our mind to catch up the market!~
Thanks
