Risk Management: Recovery Lot Size Calculation
Lot Size Multiplier: How It Works
The Lot Size Multiplier is a key feature that increases your trade size after each losing trade to help recover losses. The EA multiplies the previous trade’s lot size by a specified multiplier for the next trade.
- Example: If the first trade is 0.01 lots and the multiplier is set to 1.5, the second trade will be 0.015 lots, the third 0.0225 lots, and so on.
Manual Lot Size Calculation
With Manual Lot Size, you can set a fixed lot size for each trade in a sequence, up to 30 trades. This gives you full control over the trade size and allows you to maintain consistent risk management without increasing the lot size after a loss.
Strategies for Using the Lot Size Multiplier
The Lot Size Multiplier can speed up recovery by increasing trade size, bringing the Take Profit (TP) closer. However, using higher lot sizes increases risk. If the market doesn’t reverse as expected, larger trades can lead to bigger losses.
- Tip: Use the multiplier carefully, balancing potential recovery with your risk tolerance to avoid overexposure.
