@Ossaio-Hi there! I think I saw a post from Petko on the forum with a suggestion on lot size for trading with a bunch of EAs. Numbers are based on a 1000USD account (Forex only):
Number of EAs: 1-10
Trading Lot size: 0.1
Number of EAs: 10+
Trading lot size: 0.01
Now because I trade more than just forex, my lot size changes depending on the asset. Here is what I have in my live account, when I started at 1000USD 1:100 account leverage:
Forex EAs: 0.1 lot size
Cryptocurrency EAs: 1 standard lot size (Bitcoing and Ethereum) 10 lots for Ripple
Commodities EAs: 0.01 lot size
I’m going to keep my lot sizes like this until I see a need to change. Also, I’m a US trader and we have to abide by FIFO rules. I trade 2 EAs for ever asset on 2 timeframes. Each EA has to have a different lot size in order for me to stay in compliance with FIFO. So for Forex, one EA is trading at 0.1 and the other is trading at 0.11.
Hope this helps.
