Title: Free margin should be around .........
Post by: markfx1 on January 21, 2010, 10:47:30 am
I am using EA with default setings. My account is on Prime 4x and my account balance is $3200. In the left upper corner of graph a message "Free margin should be around 4000 atleast". However EA is Trading very cutely. What is going wrong with me? Can anyone help please? Thanks.

If there is AutoLots=FALSE, then just ignore this message.

You are getting this message as FreeMargin_for_AutoLots=0.25

Reason for asking $4000
Prime4x requires approx $10 to open its minimum lots size(0.01) on 1:100 leverage. So if you want to set FreeMargin_for_AutoLots=0.25 then you must have $4000 [because 0.25% of $4000 is $10]

So if you set 0.5 for this parameter you will get the mesage for $2000,
and similary if FreeMargin_for_AutoLots=1 then $1000 & so on........

But for safer side, you should set FreeMargin_for_AutoLots as small as you can.

Where do you find autolots and free margin_ for_ autolots= in the bot? I don't see anything like that in the settings area.

parameters autolots and free margin_ for_ autolots were in Old Version of EA [...r9.03]
These are not available in ...r9.04

In recent version [...r9.04] if First_Lots_Size=0.0 then lots calculation is automatic otherwise it will use your defined lots size.
