Risk % per trade

[Anonymous]

I’ve just implemented the the 5 EA’s on a demo account and the first two trades have been opened. One question I have is, what is the default risk lot/percentage? when manually trading, I typically risk 1-2% of my account per trade. Can this be adjusted on the EA’s?

Thanks

Hi Raymond,

Go to upper right corner of the trading chart and right click on the smiley face or blue hat. Select Expert Advisor, Properties, Inputs. There you can adjust the lot size.

Hello,

I also want to have good control over the risks (as much as possible). As Raymond said 1 or 2%. But in manual trading I learned to scale my lot size based on the amount of pips I place my stoploss. I used fxbook for this. But trading with the ea’s gives random stoploss positions. So what’s the best way to calculate the lot size for an ea. Now I use for a 10000 usd demo account 0,1 lot size for each EA.

Cheers,

Maarten

Hi Maarten,

You can use a position size calculator to calculate the lot size based upon risk.
