I am new to Forex trading. I am using an EA on demo account which has the following drawdown numbers from back testing. In simple terms, what do those numbers mean?
Absolute drawdown - the drawdown past your original starting point (if your account grew from £10,000 to £20,000 but then lost £15,000 you absolute drawdown would be £5,0000)
Maximal drawdown - the maximum loss sustained by the account (if your account grew from £10,000 to £20,000 but then lost £15,000 you maximal drawdown would be £15,0000)
Relative drawdown - same as above but shown as percent of the account
I am trying to understand that if I start with 10,000, then how much money I can invest with this EA without getting a margin call. This EA has stop loss of 210. Looks like I can invest 2000-2500 out of 10,000 and would never get a margin call. Correct?
its not how much you have in your account, but how big you trade relative to whats in your account but if your absolute drawdown is £3,000 then your probably going to be ok with £5,000
