In my demo account I'm using a Risk:Reward of 1.5:1 (4% TP and 6% SL). What do you think? I'm still waiting to see how the EA manage a bad situation with these settings.pmcenery » Thu May 07, 2015 10:32 pm wrote:Hi All.SteveHopwood » Fri May 08, 2015 8:47 am wrote:I am not happy with your r:r. You have to maintain a constant 2 profitable baskets to make up for every 1 loser.

I was wondering what others have been doing R:R wise on their baskets. I've been running with most of the settings out of the box, so R:R of 3:1 - even worse than what Steve describes! Is anyone running this system more positively geared - say 1:2 or even 1:3 with good results? I increased my lot size from 0.01 to 0.1 on a 10K account yesterday, and had 2 x 1% basket profits, but the 3:1 R:R has been nagging in the back of my mind as a potential to undo a lot of the good work VERY quickly. I'd be very interested to hear some opinions on the topic.
