Where can I read how to manage lots on the balance line?

I want to increase the lot when the balance goes down, and decrease it when it goes up

maybe an owl is available as a template ?

It should normally be the other way round! Search for Money Management (MM). And Martingal, also in search, serves as a quick drain. Good luck in gaining experience!
 

Please, advise why this situation always appears in the test

where are the other dates? (test on m1 the EA always controls orders once every minute or 2 (open or close))

and from here:
295 2012.08.14 11:46 close at stop 176 0.05 1.23480 0.00000 0.00000 -113.15 101001.92

Why has the EA been trading normally, and then all of a sudden it seems to stop controlling my orders? And before that, I have traded as many as 1000 deals, and everything was fine.

Why does the Expert Advisor trade normally, and then all of a sudden it seems to stop controlling orders? And before that, I have made 1000 trades and everything is fine.

close at stop is a close at the end of a testing PERIOD.

close at stop is to close orders at the end of a testing PERIOD.


i know that, i just can't figure out why the EA EXTREMELY STOPS controlling orders

this EA may be called pipsewise and there should be a lot of trades between these dates.

Can someone help me?

My balance moves in the channel at a fixed lot, how should I calculate the lot: should I decrease it at the top of the channel or increase it at the bottom?

 
Stells:

Can anyone help me ?

My balance moves in the channel with a constant lot, how do I calculate the lot: at the top of the channel decrease the lot, at the bottom increase it ?

If you start trading this way, there will be no channel...

 
Roman.:

If you start trading this way, it will not be the same...


How do you want to store your balance in variables? How would we trade at 0.1 lot?

Or the balance could be converted to points
