They're also constructed to trade at 10% of Equity, which is why setting the Trade Multiplier to 20% gives 2% trades. You mention "By going 2X on the trade multiplier for FTM06 it works." Can you clarify that some more...??? If you've set the Trade Multiplier to 200%, the trades will be 20% of equity - and with the settings allowing 5 trades / symbol it'd be possible to have 100% of your equity in a single symbol. That may have worked with the historical data, but would definitely be a curve fit & very questionable going forward. A screenshot of the recent simulated historical trades generated in your account would answer the question. BTW - Here's a link to an excellent synopsis on setting up an account for trading that might answer your question in the screen capture about trading starting balance...??? https://www.omnitrader.com/currentclients/omnivestforum/thread-view.asp?threadid=7786&posts=1 Hope you're having a nice weekend, Mark | |
