insufficient margin to allow trading

[squissh]

Hello everyone,
I am new to automated forex trading, but since I travel a lot, I would like to have an automation running while I am gone.

I found Steves automator for crossing EMA lines, which I like very much ... thank you very much Steve!!
I am not sure, if I have the most recent version, so I am thankful for any link.

My question is the following:
I am trading on a 3000 USD demo account.
The EA will open the first trade nicely with a 0.2 lot. Unfortunately it will give me the message "There is insufficient margin percent to allow trading" for any other position. Even though the percentage is more than 1200%

Please let me know how I can modify the script to allow the EA to open at least 4-5 positions.

Thank you very much for your help.

you have to change the way the things are calculated.
upload your script in this thread and maybe we'll see ...

Thank you

set up these 2 parameters as you need :

UseForexKiwi=true;
FkMinimumMarginPercent=1500;

cheers

There are two external variables to specify which margincheck-method should be applied

first one:
UseScoobsMarginCheck

second one:
UseForexKiwi
if you set this to true, you can specify the minimum margin percent which must be available, and that is in your ea FkMinimumMarginPercent=1500;

if you do not need marginchecks, set
UseScoobsMarginCheck=false (is already)
and UseForexKiwi=false ....
