Configuration of Granite EAs

All Granite EAs have been designed with a central principle: maximum simplicity for the user.They do not require complex configurations or endless adjustments. In fact, all internal parameters are already pre-configured and calibrated after an extensive validation process.This means that nothing else needs to be changed apart from the two basic settings. Modifying other parameters could lead to over-optimization and alter the statistical variance, reducing robustness. That’why the Granite philosophy is clear: less is more, and robustness comes from consistency.

The only elements the trader needs to consider are:




  1. Magic Number → the identifier number for each EA.

    • The actual value does not matter; the only important point is to not repeat it across EAs running simultaneously.

    • Example: one EA may have Magic 101, another 202, another 303, etc.

  2. Risk Money → this is where the user defines how much to risk per trade.

    • The value is entered in the account’s currency (e.g. EUR, USD).

    • The following are illustrative examples of how to calculate it depending on account size.



Practical Examples

Account Size

Risk 0.5%

Risk 1%

Risk 2%

1,000 €

5 €

10 €

20 €

5,000 €

25 €

50 €

100 €

25,000 €

125 €

250 €

500 €

50,000 €

250 €

500 €

1,000 €

100,000 €

500 €

1,000 €

2,000 €

📌 Simple example: “If TraderMaster has an account of €1,000 and decides to risk 0.5%, he should enter in Risk Management: €5.”
