The other thing is that I have lots set at .01 but it still opens orders at different sizes!!! Does this have something with the TotalProfit 0.0 setting? I want to like this EA and would love to take it live someday, but it is simply frustrating at the moment. Thanks to anyone that replies.
Four pairs? You are supposed to put it on one EURUSD M15 chart and leave it alone. The lots are fixed, you cannot change them. Well, I don't leave it alone either. Right now I check every day around the (US) market close and if my equity is at least 5% higher than the day before, I close out all, and start from scratch. I don't know if I ever go live with this one, after surviving a 72% drawdown on a $ 5,000 demo. But I am not sure yet, one demo finished just before doubling up, on the other one my VPS got corrupted from outer space or whatever two days ago as I was up 50%... Somehow the mini version traded differently, so I put the Standard on an IBFX micro $ 1,000 demo.
