IBFX results for 6th week. Standard account starting with $5000.
Rocky week for 30 min eur/usd. Also when I switched to the latest version I left defaults on which changed lots from mm at 10% (which had been default in prior versions) to fixed lots of .1. The first trade which was set as a pending order prior to the switch was a winner at .9 lots. That is what saved the week. Then the next 5 trades were losers and traded after the switch at .1 lots.
Additionally, if I had recalibrated my equity EA to accomodate the change in lot size I could have closed out at least one of the trades with some profit instead of a loss. But I didn't realize it needed to be done until too late.
At any rate I was lucky that things worked out the way they did. Will continue to monitor. Don't really know whether the the lot changes were made by accident or design with the release of the latest version or whether I was supposed to change from default.
