Hi,
I what lot size to increase automatically as the account grows. can i get that with the MaximumPercentageatRisk option, if i set MaximumPercentageatRisk to 2%, will the lot size also increase by 2% if the account grows by 2%? if not, how can i set the EA to automatically increase lot size as the account grows?
Thank you

MaximumPercentageatRisk sets the lot size to that % of the free margin (amount available for trading) if the lot size in the buy/sell is higer that the MaximumPercentageatRisk. It is valid for USD accounts. So if the free margin increases then the lot size increases.
If you are a long time trader you will not use that and you will readjust the ea parameters manually weekly or every two weeks to match your risk reward ratio.
