V. LIVE TRADING TIPS
- ✅ Run on a VPS at all times
- ✅ Start with a small lot size (0.01) and increase gradually
- ✅ Use the recommended backtest period to understand EA behaviour before going live
- ✅ Do not interfere with open trades — let the EA manage them
- ❌ Do not run on symbols other than Boom 600 Index without testing first
- ❌ Do not expect a trade every hour — the EA is patient by design
VI. WHAT TO EXPECT
Quant Spikes is not a scalper and is not designed for fast money. It waits for the exact conditions to align before entering. You may see periods with no trades — this is normal and by design. The goal is quality over quantity.
