Hello Pavement ,
If you’re using the daily breakout only on all currency pairs then we can define 3 types of risk depends on the account balance,
in all scenarios the risk kept small as its unlikely to have an open trade on all pairs and all trades are negative, even if that happened our settings will not subject the account balance to any big risk.
On the daily breakout
we are starting with a lot size of 0.02
*
Low risk
For each 5000$ add 0.01 to the lot multiplier
Example :
For account balance < =5000$ the lot multiplier is 1 , this means the lot size for each trade should be 0.02
For account balance < =10,000$ add 0.01 to the a lot multiplier results in a lot multiplier = 1.01, this means the lot size for each trade should be 0.03
For account balance < =15,000$ add 0.01 to the a lot multiplier results in a lot multiplier = 1.03, , this means the lot size for each trade should be 0.04

Medium risk
For each 5000$ add 0.02 to the lot multiplier
Example :
For account balance < =5000$ the lot multiplier is 1 , this means the lot size for each trade should be 0.02
For account balance < =10,000$ add 0.02 to the a lot multiplier results in a lot multiplier = 1.02, this means the lot size for each trade should be 0.04
For account balance < =15,000$ add 0.02 to the a lot multiplier results in a lot multiplier = 1.04, this means the lot size for each trade should be 0.08
===========

High risk
For each 5000$ add 0.03 to the lot multiplier
Example :
For account balance < =5000$ the lot multiplier is 1 , this means the lot size for each trade should be 0.02
For account balance < =10,000$ add 0.03 to the a lot multiplier results in a lot multiplier = 1.03, , this means the lot size for each trade should be 0.06
For account balance < =15,000$ add 0.03 to the a lot multiplier results in a lot multiplier = 1.06, this means the lot size for each trade should be 0.12
//----------
Now let’s assume the extreme scenario where a trade on each of the 29 pairs offered by Alpari UK was opened and using the maximum risk we suggested on a 12,000$ or 12,000 € you will have 0.06 lot opened on each pair giving a total lot size of 1.74, although its unlikely to happen but even if it did risk is kept small
Risk is a subjective matter therefore clients are free to increase the lot size at their own risk.
We recommend testing the lot multiplier settings for at least a week to get a better understanding of how the setup works.
