The EA works perfectly for 0.01 lots...the question is, does your broker or your account? If your broker doesn't support nano lots (or micro lots on a standard account), you won't be able to use them.
InterbankFX I know supports them, and I'm sure several others do...I just don't know which ones.
I think Bluto IS already gone for the holiday...like I should be.

sstillwelli tried to backtest 0.01 but fail...1 pip equals usd0.01
20$ in mini lots (.1 lot) would be 20 pip move they are the same.
And may be you should reread my post nothing in it say anything about margin. It talks about unrealized losses that have to be made up. Look at it again for the first time.
The Cockeyed Cowboy20 pips is only $20 for .1 lot. When you increase the lot size, the the number of pips needed to make $20 decreases.
Also, you said that doubling lots is not fib progression. When you double in the opposite direction, the effect is a fib progression.
What I am talking about seems like it may be a bit over your head. I suggest you visit www.babypips.com to learn some basics about Forex Trading.
I introduced a darned bug when I added that Fibo code. The zip on the main page is updated with the fixed EA. Here it is if you want to re-test.
Hi Bluto,
I d/l the fixed EA and tried backtest using the Fibo lots progression. However, the journal still show the lot progression is still 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8...... not the Fibo.
Wish You Merry Christmas & Enjoy Your Holiday!!

You can this and use TargetEquityToCloseAndReset as a percentage :
TargetEquityToCloseAndReset=20 a target of 20%
Regardsthanks. This seems to work well. But I think as the account grows I need to scale down the %.
Looks like the % should be equal to 250-500$ and not much more.
Back test is on one pair too. While forward test is on 3 pairs.
I will see what the equity % does as I run it live on 3 pairs. It should be easier to reach equity% with 3 pairs.

Goblin Bipolar backtest problem

Can someone help ?
---------------------------------
OK. I have found the problem.
Ignore that post.

yea maybe
I am hoping it will be usefull on multiple pairs. As the equity from all 3 pairs trades becomes a % all 3 will close trades and reset. With all 3 set to reset at 10% equity increase, there all three tied together with the same equity target. I hope.
max trades 4
pips 18
target 15
mm true
risk 1
equity target 10
thats what I'll be running this week forward test on 3 pairs like befor.
