@Sundance:

On your myfxbook-Z5 what settings do you use for Margin and Stop? Could not find it described anywhere - and if it’s not a secret for sure.

Thanks!

Hi Sphin,

I have the following setting:

Margin: 28
Stop: 1346


Just do a Test with the settings and you see the needed capital for Z5 to work. the slider settings are explained here:

Hi Sundance,

thanks a lot! How did you find such values? By trying only or did you use some kind of optimization calculation? I’m just experimenting but more with combinations like 20/1000, 30/2000 and similar.

bye, Sphin

As I said. Set the sliders. Push the 'Test' button. And at the end you see the minimum required capital for the evaluated test period ('Capital: ...'). That doesn't mean you won't need more money in the future but it gives you some clue how much you need to invest.
