For the initial lot we have the possibility to chose a Fixed or Fixed lot per 1000 units, i.e. 0.01:

However, for correct risk scaling it would be really nice to have also the option of Max Lot Type

  1. Fixed
  2. Fixed size per 1000

In this way the ratio of first lot and max lot can be set to remain, making the strategy scalable.


Say you have your nice method optimized for 0.01 initial and 0.8 final lot size. At the moment you need to manually change that for other sizes (i.e. 0.02 and 1.6), because only initial lot can be set to scale with the deposit. Therefore, more manual intervention is needed, which may result in errors. Also long-term backtesting is improved because ratios remain suitable such as DD%.


I think this is both a #risk-management and #money-management topic.
