Guys, I faced with big draw down this week with this EA on my cent account. It was about USDc 3,100. Pair was EURUSD only. It started open sell 0.01 lot at 17:21 (Thursday GMT +0) 22.03.2018, then the trend was going up. That week last open sell was 0.13 lot at 18:50 23.03.2018. The week closed with about USDc 350 drawdown. My starting balance was about USDc 3,000.
Monday the price kept going up. When the draw down reached USDc 1,000 I injected USDc 3,000. But the price didn't go down.
As soon as draw down reached USDc 2,500 I injected more USDc 4,000 because margin free percentage decreased very fast. I didn't want to deal with margin call.
Fortunately 27.03.2018 after 08:00 GMT the chart went down. But before that, the drawdown reached USDc 3,100.
It was closed with USDc 1,114 profit. I turned off the EA after that.
Here are lots detail (between these sells, many open and close buys happened):

I believe if the price went up another 100 pips, or maybe less, I would deal with margin call.
I was using socialvps. Set was default. Before this, I used in other pair and tried to decrease Lot Killer and Exponent Killer by 0.1 but didn't make any change in lot multiplier. It seems like, if you use socialvps you can change the setting but the transaction will keep dealing with the default. I don't know if you use other vps.
I hope it helps you. Cheers.
