pips=no less than 30
5 max trades
18-23 target
Those are crucial

No more than 3 pairs. If your worried and a nervous type, then run it on less pairs.
Dave, do you seggest to use 0.5% risk because of the rest available margin when positions are open, or just to withstand drawdowns wich occcur when MaxTrades hit? Don't you think it is risky to start 0.2 lot, instead, isn't it better when you have let's say 2k account, to split it into two separate accounts of 1k and continue trading with 0.5 risk? BTW, FiboLotSizeProgression can also be used...
