Manual sequence

The Manual Sequence money manager will calculate the next order’s lot size, based on a manual input sequence. For example, when the input sequence is ‘0.01, 0.01, 0.03’ the first order’s lot size will be 0.01, next order also 0.01 lot and the third order 0.03 lot. It’s also possible to use the ’+’, ’-’, ’*’, ’/’ and ’%’ operators to give you more flexibility. For example, when entering the following manual sequence: ‘0.01, +0.01, *2’, your first order will be 0.01 lot, your second order 0.02 (0.01 + 0.01) lot and your third order will be 0.04 lot (0.02 * 2). If the number of orders exceed the number of input parts, the last part will be repeated for each order. So in the above case, if your EA is allowed to open more than 3 orders, the fourth order will be 0.08, 0.16, etc. You can also choose to end your sequence with +0 to stop increasing the lot size.

Settings

  • Lot size sequence: Enter a manual sequence of order lot sizes, seperated by a comma. When using an additional operator, choose from ’+’ (add to previous lot size), ’-’ substract from previous lot size, ’*’ multiply previous lot size, ’/’ devide previous lot size or ’%’ as a percentage of your equity, using this amount of equity to equal the required margin.
  • Split sequence for buy and sell orders: If enabled, the sequence will be split for buy and sell orders.
  • Use real (rounded) lot size for next orders: Enable if the lot size for next order has to be calculated based on the real, currently newest opened order’s lot size, instead of the calculated lot size.
