Now the next lot are the exact same EAs but pimped with my statistical method. I would run that on a 8k account. Going forward I will also compound any wins meaning I will increase the lot size as the account grows as the risk remains the same.

Hi Andi and Petko,

your thoughts are much appreciated and very encouraging!

Just a follow up question, please?! My understand is that it all comes down to profit / draw down ratio. I understand that adding more strategies with SL and TP and diversification through uncorrelated assets/currencies will improve my profit / draw down ratio further. But how do you determine your equity need for a portfolio?:

e.g. if I have $10k equity in an account at day 1. Assuming I have a 50% month on month return, I would theoretically have about $1.2m by day 365 (12 months later) assuming I compound every months wins and increase the lot sizes accordingly. If my max draw down would be just 10% more than my equity at day 1, that would not be an issue as I can easily put in $1000 bucks. But if I suddenly need to push in $120k because I have $1.2m in my account, that would mean a margin call.

So how do you determine the required equity for your portfolio across multiple strategies, currencies, asset classes to mitigate a margin call?

Or do you just not increase the lot sizes at the same pace as the account grows to minimise risks but make less return as a trade off?

Big thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Here the exact same EAs but with my pimped statistical method. I would run that in an 8k account.

I thought I share the last 32 days of the 200 EAs below. These ones are the vanilla EAs from EA studio that we picked. Performance is good but not mind blowing. Ignore the equity and balance, i use 500 EAs on that account. Based on the current drawdown I would run it on 5k account.
