Auto + Manual
I am running an EA on a live RAW MT5 account. The EA only risks 2% of the equity.
Could I make small manual trades on the same MT5 terminal without problems?
Yes manual and automated trades can co-exist without any problems providing your EA is managing positions by either their ticket number, or magic number and it doesn't assume all positions from a specific symbol belong to it. So the answer is that it depends on how your EA has been written. Manage it with magic numbers and you'll be fine. And in terms of your request for "small" trades, you can make trades as small as your broker's settings will allow. You can determine the minimum lot size that you broker will allow for a specific symbol using the following MQL5 code:
SymbolInfoDouble("EURUSD",SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN)
