RE: "Holy Mackerel!":
After doing latest optimization run for a fixed .1 lot (1 mini) and got my usual ho-hum
$5760 gain in 5 months and 16% dd, I then wanted to try to get that auto-lots turned-on with same optimization results, I had to put a Thou in tester and set to 10% to make it fly (Gary's manual says to be modest and only do in range of a few percent to be safe), and whooooaaaaaaa! Mama! profit=$118K, but the drawdown % is 39%, which didn't matter that much because half the time it carefully crawled out of the .1, .2, .3, .5 lot sizes til it started to zoom to final lot size of 14, albeit the larger lot sizes get the equity curve to swerve some up 'n down in the remaining half of the time, buuuuut, by then it's gravy-train anyway by then!!! Soooo, now that means two separate real life plays to try! The first one is to see if a $500 account can really get to range of $5K like back-tests show, optimizing often as the weeks go by, and the second scenario is if I ever had a Thou to throw away sometime down the pike I could try this Holy-Moly plan, LOL
Guess I could set-up a second std-demo live running with Auto on.
