Interesting backtesting results with 0.1 lots but not with 0.01 lots. Why does the profit factor change with lot size?
Profit is not linked with lot size , for 0.01 lot size , profit and loss should be set ten times lower , like 5 at profit and - 50 at max loss . I get the same graph(but not the same profit) in the tester if the proportions remain the same .

Yes that is exactly what I expect but what is happening is I'm getting errors 148 (Too many trades) when backtesting with 0.01 lots. With
0.10 lots everything is fine. I have been testing it on a demo account and no problem with 0.01 lots. Trading well both EURUSD and
USDCAD btw. So probably just an MT4 backtesting issue, my installation might be messed up.
I have been testing LOTS of EA's and so far it one of the best EAs I've tested and its FREE - Great Job - Thanks.

Ohh I just realised that it does not have a fixed stop loss for protection. Any change that could be added? Thats a show stopper for
me

The stop would be when the floating loss of an order reaches the maximum loss input by the user , that doesn't mean that the total floating loss
would be negative because the other orders add up and total sum of floating profits or losses may be positive . If you like I could add something
like Maximum Drawdown Accepted - to close all trades if the total sum of profit and losses reach that value .

Good EA, I recommend for those who could mange their risk.
Whether this EA will be updated ?
What would you like me to add or modify to the EA ?
