Fxopen demos have a max order limit that is quite small i wouldn't recommend testing POS on it.

True, only 100 orders allowed total.

That's why I run with fewer pairs than set in Gertje's set files. The question is whether it is needed to run with so many pairs or fewer pairs with higher lot size.

My thoughts about this;
In my opinion it is essential to run al mayors, since they run in parallel.

Last week the AUD and NZD were big contributors on my account, but sooner or later they will be “in the middle” making place for the EUR or GBP to move to the outer edge.
If one limits oneself to just a handful of pairs, there might be stretches of time that there is nothing to trade.

Also increasing lotsize on fewer pairs might put the account in danger when exactly THAT pair desides to run against you, and opens multiple recovery trades.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree with this method completely, I'm currently running HGI Manual trades + POS + SPB + HGI CP on a live account and the DD is managed and controlled very well by the cushion trades. Low lot sizes + many trades running with profitable strategies = constant stream of controlled profits with a simple goal of daily 1%.

I've seen over 200% in the past 2 months using this ideology and this method of EA operation wouldn't be possible with FXopen as your are limited in possibilities so why even go down that route right?

Hi guys,
to whom it may concern...
I was setting up a new demoon my vps today and got loads of 130 errors. I then did the same on my desktop and got no errors. On my VPS I ticked then show all symbols in the market watch panel and the error were gone. Problem solved.
Cheers Maximilian

Here is another tip. Once you have all the pairs showing that you want to trade, delete those you do not want (click on the pair and press the Delete key). The less activity you have going on the better a VPS likes it, so we do not want quotes coming in for pairs we are not trading.

Mine was a rhetorical question intended to gently point out that your post had no meaning.

Don't want gentle? OK.

Your post was meaningless bollocks. Post meaninglessly again and I will remove your ability to post at all. Meaningless bollocks is unwelcome at SHF.

Capiche?
