Suggestion Waka Waka EA ....

Hi, is this file still consistently working for you? I have used several versions but they work only for a few days and then stop working. You have any idea of what the issue could be?

The issue is MT4 Updates itself evertime you restart it.

In this folder C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes there is a folder called Webinstall. Even if you delete this it will re-create it everytime you launch MT4. The best way I have found is to do the following.

Close MT4
Right click on the shortcut of you MT4 Icon and select properties
Click the Open FGile location button
Overwrite terminal.exe with the MT4 build 1400 terminal.exe file

Right click on the Webinstall folder and goto the security tab.
If you have the administrators group showing select it and click edit
Click deny on the Full Control box
Now Launch MT4

This will stop it updating for this session only. MT4 resets the rights on the directory once it is open, so if you close MT4 you will need to repeat the steps above.

Hope that helps

Waka Waka's Drawdown [Money & Risk Management]

The last week has been marked by a significant drawdown of the main Waka Waka account. Releasing posts celebrating Waka's milestones and not addressing important events like this one would not be transparent and show a realistic picture of trading with grid Expert Advisors, so that's why I decided to cover it in full.

First things first: if you do not use any risk management with Waka Waka or any other grid system, I recommend setting up proper risk management right now. Here you can find the post about it. This topic is also covered in every EA guide and I frequently remind about it to people (even when their questions aren't directly about risk management)

When you work with any Expert Advisors (especially a grid one), proper money and risk management are the first two things you should care about. If things don't go as planned, you need a plan to work with even in the most difficult of situations. With financial markets, it's pretty easy to get into difficult situations. That's why you should read this post first and only care about anything else later.

If you breach the maximum risk level you have for yourself (either as a % of your capital or as a predefined sum of money) and you find yourself in a situation of not having proper money and risk management, the only sensible thing to do is to close all trades immediately and configure proper money and risk management after that. If you don't do it, you leave your money to chance, and that's the opposite thing to sensible trading.

Now, you may have noticed, the main Waka Waka account I have is pretty small (compared to the "Smart TP" account, for example). That's why the maximum risk I have there is measured in money, not in %, and that's why I will add more funds to this account if necessary. On the other hand, the bigger "Smart TP" account I have has the maximum risk measured in %, meaning that it'll close all trades in case of having a large floating drawdown.

It's crucial to understand that no trading strategy is immune to market fluctuations and potential losses. Even the most well-designed systems can and will experience drawdowns and losses. The key is to be prepared for these situations by implementing a solid risk management plan from the outset. By setting clear limits on the amount of risk you're willing to take, either as a percentage of your capital or a fixed sum, you can protect your investments and minimize potential losses. This proactive approach mitigates potential losses, ensuring a resilient investment portfolio that won't go away with a single market swing.

Best,
Val

Compared to Smart TP for account size, they have similarly set lots. He is already looking for an opportunity just to add money so that his account does not collapse. I would like to know what their the maximum risk level is and where they close all the trades. DD 58.02% is it probably not. Maybe DD 100%.
