Rick, my concern about running multiple EA's had more to do with my position size than the ability to trade... At that size a few trades on top of it could cause problems. Also if the NFA mode is on it shouldnt take multiple trades on the same currency. |
Ken,
My MD also had a trade last night but it was very profitable (14.8 pips).
I re-read your concern and I agree that using scalper's at high risk uses up free margin for other EA's. The first EA to open the trade gets the full lot size and the second EA automatically gets a lower lot size. This can really skew things if the first EA takes a loss.
Fortunately, only MegaDroid on my live account trades EURUSD. The Channel Scalper trades EURGBP.
BTW, when I just increased the MD risk from 0.10 to 0.20, the calculated lot size went from 0.22 to 0.44. I guess that means 0.88 lots if the risk was 0.40.
