Hi, you are right on my Demo on 5k and 10k accounts, the basket closure is set at 2%. There is no other reason as the account size grows, I will adjust them accordingly. Sometimes the demo hit shirt protection but recovered nicely in 2 to 3 weeks time. With regards of lot size increase per balance, it is your choice and I have not look into it yet. Of course it is better with a big capital with a smaller lot size and increase lot size over time once balance increased.Robyn » Fri Aug 30, 2019 3:39 pm wrote:Hi Taipan,
Firstly, thank you for sharing your setup. I loaded it up on my VPS a few days ago using your set files from 22 August, and I have a question regarding the Desky set file. Are you currently using the same Desky set file for your $5k demo and $10k demo? Reason I ask is because I notice that you have basket closure set at 2% of current balance, and this would obviously be a totally different target for a $5k account vs a $10k account, etc. As the account grows this target would be harder to reach, unless you use a lot size increase per balance, but I see you haven't enabled that. Is there a reason for this? What would you say your findings are with regards to what is working better currently - the smaller account or the bigger one?
Another thing, I'm not sure if my setup is working the same as yours. I was also flat yesterday morning on my account, but then I did not get any GBPNZD trades at all, like you mentioned. I currently only have the following open as in my screenshot below. Perhaps it has something to do with the Desky version I am currently using? Not sure.
Anyway, thanks again for all your hard work on this. Seems promising for sure

I am having the same problems yesterday, 4 of demo accounts stopped after TP. 2 of the demo accounts started to trade in the mid of Euro sessions yesterday. The 100K demo account started to trade only today @1 PM Asian time. The small 5K demo still did not trade yet and I wonder why?
I am using TDesk Trading Partner V3t EA.
