@hadees thank you, I’ll message you privately too

Anyone???

How would I go about doing this formula, I want it to stay to a specific structure

Just for an example
$200
$400
$800
$1600
$3200
$6400
$12,800
$25,600
$51,200

As you can see I’m simple doubling, but the formula is I want it to use the max lot size for the number at the start of each level and only change when it gets to the next level. So let’s say I start off with $200 with lot size is 0.65 and I won a trade and now my account is on $270 how do I have a formula that the lot size will remain 0.65 until my account specifically gets to $400 then it changes.

So a formula along the lines of...
Current Balance%, Fixed Max Lots, until Balance % increases by 100 (doubled)

Is this possible that

@roar Did you make his entire EA in 1 hour???

Ok so I have my own set ups however one of the variables to my strategy is it must be in the direction of the trend, that’s the foundation.

Is there a simple way to make the EA follow trend, I know most people will probably say just have a specific moving average If it’s above uptrend if it’s below then downtrend but is there any other way

@roar ok I have done the maths now, so let’s say my account is at $100 (400:1 lev) I have seen I can risk 50% of my account at minimum 20 pips for 0.33 lots, so in other words as long as my account balance is at $100, 0.33 lots is the maximum I can go in at but no bigger than a 20 pip order, from 21 pips onwards I’d have to lower the lot size.
So the math would have to go as followed

50% = 20pips. (0.33 lots)
40% = 16pips (0.33 lots)
30% = 12 pips (0.33 lots)
20% = 8pips. (0.33 lots)
10% = 4 pips (0.33 lots)
So ultimately for every 1 pip max I can risk is 2.5%

For anyone that would read this the reason why the percentage lowers with lowering of pips is because the lot size would have to get bigger.

But after now doing the maths is their a way I can input that for every 1pip of a trade risk 2.5% of the account but have this formula stop at 20pips

@roar makes sense ok thanks, do you know what I would need to type in?

@l-andorrà thank you I appreciate that, is there a way to message you privately I have a few good ideas for EAs

@jsauter86 this is what I want to do with my testing, what software did you use to get best days, time of the day etc

This is what I want to do with my testing, so is this from switching from MT4 to MT5?

Using which software though?

What is the best testing software to use, does it give specifics for my EAs performance for example

• Most profitable winning months
• Most profitable winning days of the week
• Most profitable winning times of the day

Aswell as the opposite

• Most losing month
• Most losing day of the week
• Most losing time of the day

Even then is it easy to single out each win on loss, is it as simple as clicking on that trade and it takes me to that place on the charts, so with this I can refine continuously

Let’s say for example I want my EA to places trades on the 1 hour chart however I want it to do it in the trend direction of the Daily and Weekly, how would I do this?

Is it possible to have it only place a trade Buy trade if price is for example above a certain moving average on both Daily and Weekly, let’s say 100

I will have other criteria’s for placing a trade but I want to know if it’s possible to add the above criteria as it is important for my EA to follow the trend

Thank you very much, yeah the second question is pretty much irrelevant if I do what you said in the picture, as it will be automatic.

So by setting it to 100 no what matter what the trade size is it will automatically always work out the lot size? Also do I need to add leverage size to the fxdreema so it knows, for example with 100% on a 400:1 would be 0.33 lots whereas if my account had a 50:1 leverage it would be much less.

Will it work this out automatically or do I need to input it?

How do I set it so I use the maximum lot size possible for my account size per trade, no matter if it’s a 4 pip, 6 pip or 15pip trade size.

For example imagine my account is $100 with a leverage of 400:1. The maximum lot size I can do is 0.33 lots. How do I set it so my EA always uses a maximum lot size rather than a percentage taken per trade. So if my trade was 6, 9 or 14pips I will go in at 0.33 lots.

Also how do I get the lot size to change at specific numbers, so let’s say my account was $100 (0.33 lots) how do I get it to change at $200 to 0.66 lots.

@haidang8055 good to hear how long have you? I’ve got many strategies so I’m going to master EA building

@l-andorrà that’s surprising you help everyone on here I thought you would definitely be using one live lol

Interested in knowing how many people use their EAs for live auto trading?

This is mainly for backtesting, once I have created my EA it will be in a lower time frame but I want to set it so it trades only on Mondays, then backtest.

Then do the same again for Tuesday etc, is this possible?

@l-andorrà no I haven’t yet, when people share indicators, if i like them can I add them to my EA? Is it as easy as a simple copy and paste too?
