How the EA works
In the first scenario, The Expert Advisor (EA) will randomly open a buy and sell position at any price, and it will actively pursue small profits, targeting a default value of 500 points, until it reaches that target, at which point it will cease placing further orders.
In the second scenario, After locking a floating loss, the EA will then analyze the market for a potential hedging opportunity, and if the trend persists, it will open a hedging position to mitigate the loss.
- The profit calculation is based on the account balance.
- In the case of a micro account, the profit would be 0.02 at 0.10 lot size.
- However, for a standard account, the profit at the lot size of 0.01 would be different, specifically 0.20.
How the EA Manage Risk
Problem
Okay, the EA now locked the floating loss and opened a hedge position, but the hedge did not go in the desired direction. The EA now is experiencing further losses, what will the EA do now?
Solution: The EA performs a check on the maximum symbol percent drawdown, and when a currency reaches the predetermined threshold (defaulted at 10% drawdown), the EA automatically evaluates the overall profitability of the entire account. If the EA is connected to multiple currencies, there is a possibility that certain positions may be profitable. In such cases, the collective account is indirectly hedged through the presence of various currency positions. It is essential to maintain the magic number and trade comment unchanged when attaching the EA to multiple currencies to ensure the effectiveness of this approach.
Problem
Okay, now the EA did not reach the breakeven point to close all positions. What will happen now?
Solution: That’s why I always advise starting with small investments. Such scenarios can occur in any Expert Advisors. In such cases, the maximum drawdown of the account becomes crucial. I conducted tests on the EA with identical settings across all forex pairs, and although no losses were catastrophic, the highest observed drawdown was approximately 40%. This is precisely why I have set the minimum drawdown at 60%. If, by chance, you were using the EA during that specific date and time and exclusively trading that particular pair, you would certainly survive. However, there is a risk of complete loss for me if the risk is too high. To mitigate this, we can implement the concept of indirect hedging by utilizing the max symbol percent drawdown function.

| To mitigate risk and enhance account safety, it is advisable tolimit each Expert Advisor (EA) to a maximum of 3 pairs. However, it can be used for trading with any pairs.If you intend to trade more pairs, it is recommended to utilize a separate trading account. |

Gentle reminder
As someone who shares your passion for trading and also sells trading products, I wanted to offer you a friendly reminder about the importance of risk management. Throughout my experience, I’ve witnessed numerous accounts being wiped out, which is why I prioritize the implementation of effective risk management strategies. Instead of seeking an Expert Advisor that promises quick profits but ultimately leads to devastating losses, it is far more beneficial to choose an EA that consistently generates profits over time. Remember, the true key to success lies in maintaining a steady and sustainable trading approach, ensuring long-term profitability, and safeguarding the capital you’ve worked hard to accumulate.
