See what happened from 26-Nov-2004.

One more thing: I also run it live (forward test) on a demo account, and it opens the first lot size much bigger than it has to be. For example: I decided that the first lot will be 0.01 and it started with 0.48. Why is that?
I wouldn't go back that far to 2004, because market sentimen has changed. This EA is not safe in the sense that when market sentimen changed, and the retraction wasn't generate enough profit, it will not able to close off the piled up positions. The test I did was 2006 ~ present, and they looks good. ?Now, the reason you get bigger lot size is because you let the money management set to TRUE. Turn it off inorder to use your prespecified lot size, or the EA will decide the lot size according to your account balance.
