Thanks Wolfe that is what I have done "set the Lot_Size_Increment in the external variables to 0" see in preset file attached in my previous post.
And it will produce profit at least for a certain period of time.

In terms of using a more aggressive progression yet only invest the money you won you could follow this example:

0.1 0.1 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.5 0.8 1.3 etc..


The first 3 element are 0.1 and then it is the sum of the last two.
This is as far as I will go in terms of "aggressivness" but I like the simple pyramiding 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 etc...

In any case you can always have x variantes of progression but always risk your winning pips so in the worst case you dont win or lose much.


I have a suggestion:

1)
Maybe it is better to set the starting Lot as a percentage of your account via a external variable.

Example 1% with 10000 Capital = 100 $ so you will start with 0.1 Lot
but if Capital 50000 you will start with 0.5 lot

Thank again for the effort.
