| Post subject: | insufficient margin to allow trading |
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. Jon |

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 .... |
