Another big harvest today with No Sleep EA V2.
EUR/JPY was diving for the past 3 days.
I had USD 1800 capital in a cents account.
Pairs I used were:
EUR/JPY 0.04 Lot size (Hedge)
USD/JPY 0.04 Lot size (Hedge)
EUR/USD 0.04 Lot size (Hedge)
GBP/USD 0.03 Lot size (Hedge)
Max draw down was USD 1100 (about 60%)
Settings used were
Multiplier 1.4x
Pip Step: 10
Take Profit 10
Total Trades: 99
Time frame: 1M
My thoughts:
I started off with 0.05 at the start of the month with these 4 pairs. Equity in account was USD 1000. Last week, draw down was almost 70% which prompted me to top up to avoid a margin call.
I then reduced to 0.04 for EJ, UJ & EU and 0.03 for GU and tested for this week. Draw down today was about 60% even with USD 1800.
I feel comfortable with draw-down of less than 50% and as such, I will reduce all lot size to 0.03 instead.
If you want to follow my settings, my advice is per USD 1000, maximum lot size of 0.02. Remember to test on demo before attempting on a real account. Cheers!
