Thank you for your comment :o) However ...Hi Chris,<br /><br />Thank you for your comment :o) However in the future please post anything about Watukushay FE on its website to keep things organized.<br /><br />The backtester has an inherent limitation on some versions of mt4 which only allows trading in 0.1 increments. Therefore backtests should be done on at least 100K to avoid lot size calculation errors.<br /><br />You can test 10,000 USD with higher risk settings (higher than 3) but the use of 1000 USD accounts is not possible due to this increment limitation. If your mt4 version allows backtesting in 0.01 increments then you might want to switch the backtesting variable to false and give it a try. In live/demo trading which allow 0.01 lot increments trading can be done from 1000 USD. <br /><br />However there is no need to run the same amount of money in backtesting which will be used in live testing. Run backtests from 10,000 USD or 100,000 USD and extrapolate the percentages to get the proyected profits/loses.<br /><br />Thanks again for your comment :o)<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Daniel FernanezDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940108413648645894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847890102780597763.post-3504976971582983542010-03-20T08:29:27.505-07:002010-03-20T08:29:27.505-07:00Daniel-

I tried lowering the risk to 0.05 (from 1.0) and that didn't help.<br /><br />Can you advise what I need to do to test it with a $1000 account? <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />ChrisC.
