Reminder
I wanted to share something that's happened over the past three trading days—because it perfectly illustrates the guidance I provided about adjusting your settings during simulation.
For three consecutive days, the strategy's very first trade was a loss for some of you. And for three consecutive days, the strategy went on to hit its full daily profit target of $1,000 (or $100 on micro contracts).
If you're running the default daily max loss setting of $1,000 ($100 micro), that first losing trade may have stopped your strategy for the entire session. You would have recorded a losing day—while the strategy, given the room to continue, actually delivered a winning day. This is exactly the scenario I want to help you avoid during your trial.
Please double your daily max loss to $2,000 ($200 for micro contracts) while you're in simulation mode.
Remember: you're not risking real capital right now. What you are doing is giving the AI the opportunity to learn from a full range of market activity, and giving yourself the chance to see how the strategy recovers and performs across an entire session.
A single trade—win or loss—is never the full picture. Let the strategy show you what it can do. Once your trial concludes and you're ready to trade live, you can tighten those limits back to whatever level fits your personal risk tolerance. But for now, give it room to breathe.
As always, reach out if you have any questions.
