The Katana EA just became even more flexible. One of the most common requests I’ve been getting was around risk control, specifically giving traders more ways to manage position sizing based on how they prefer to run their accounts. So I've added Risk by Lot Size. The Katana EA now officially supports three risk management options: ✅ Risk by Lot Size (NEW) You choose a fixed lot size, and every trade uses that exact position size. Best for: - Very small accounts testing consistency - Larger accounts where you want controlled exposure - Traders who prefer simplicity and predictability - Forward testing or strategy comparison Nothing changes trade to trade, which some people find psychologically easier because results feel more stable and easier to track. ✅ Risk % of Account (Recommended) The EA automatically adjusts position size based on a percentage of your account balance. As the account grows or contracts, risk scales with it. Best for: - Small to medium accounts - Account growth phases - Traders who want compounding to happen automatically - Set-and-forget users As your account grows, position sizes grow gradually. If the account pulls back, risk reduces automatically. This helps protect smaller accounts from overexposure while allowing steady scaling ✅ Risk by Dollar Amount You define exactly how many dollars you’re willing to risk per trade, and the EA calculates the rest. Best for: - Medium to larger accounts - Traders focused on strict capital preservation - Those who think in money terms rather than percentages This creates very clear expectations, you always know the approximate financial risk before the trade even opens. ⚠️ Quick Note About Fixed Lot Size (Risk by Lot Size) Even though you’re using a fixed lot size, the actual dollar risk can still change between trades. Why? Because risk depends on both: - the lot size and - the distance from entry to the stop loss. If the stop loss is closer → smaller financial risk.
