Hi Petko,
Thank you for replying. I will look at article you shared, and if need be, change brokers. My portfolio is down a bit since yesterday, so I will have to wait and adjust EAs as needed to get my balance back up, before withdrawing funds if need be. I’m finding it challenging at the moment with the volatility. My portfolio value is moving quite a lot from hour to hour, so hopefully the markets stabilize soon.
What I meant by my demo accounts have more than my live, is that when opening a demo account on JFD, you have the option of opening with $500, $3000, $5000, etc. I had $1,500 available to open a live account, so that is what I did. So if the market turns against my trades (and it did already more than once), I start to run out of free margin , so trades don’t open on my live account, but they do on the demo account, as there was more margin available.
For now, with the volatility, I will keep monitoring my demo accounts, and use FX Blue to analyze the EAs and update my live account as needed.
Thanks,
Ilan
