Example - Scale Lots Down by Multiplier

Example - Scale Lots Down by Multiplier

  • Goal: I want to start with 0.10 lots and scale down to 70% for each topup.
  • How-to: Here is an example EA configuration how to achieve the above:
    1. Lots for Initial Trade Entry = 0.10
    2. Topup Lots Multiplier = 0.7
    3. Topup Lots Change by Lots = 0.0

    This example assumes that the broker minimum lots requirement is 0.01 for the market.

  • Description: The below table shows the lots to be used for the trade entries:
