Why Lot Sizing Is Not User-Adjustable
The system manages its own lot sizes.
HarveSTING X uses dynamic position sizing (0.01 - 0.10 lots) based on:
- Account equity
- Current drawdown level
- Market volatility (ATR)
- Stop loss distance
- Risk per trade (2 percent fixed)
Manual lot sizing is disabled because:
- Users may over-leverage during winning streaks
- Users may under-trade during drawdowns
- Manual input can interfere with dynamic risk calculations

Direction Control Settings
| Setting | What It Does | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EnableHarvestA (Buys) | Captures upward trends | TRUE | |
| EnableHarvestB (Sells) | Captures downward trends |
|
Why Harvest B (Sells) is disabled by default:
HarveSTING X is primarily designed for bullish market trends.- Buys (Harvest A): +236% to +247% return (2025 backtest)
- Sells (Harvest B): Lower returns due to shorter bearish spans in Gold
All backtest results shown are from Harvest A mode (Buys only).

Optimal Account Size: $5,000 - $10,000
| Account Size | Return | Max DD | Observation |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | +247% | 21.75% | Strong risk-reward profile |
| $10,000 | +238% | 30.57% | Solid performance |
| $25,000 | +91% | 24.99% | Diminishing returns |
Why $25,000 shows lower percentage returns:
The system has a maximum lot size of 0.10. Once account equity exceeds $10,000, additional capital cannot be fully utilized.
Recommendation: Use $5,000 - $10,000 for optimal results.
