ok I guess it would only mitigate risk if you had set it to open more than 1 pair or trade at a time.With regards to the "Step" function, I think NexusFX has already explained this in one of his comments:
"I figured out what the step setting is for. if the EA opens one trade. For example, a Buy. Now this trade starts running in a negative. It will open another position when it hits 15pips or 20pips in negative. To start mitigating the risk and managing the position. So what i will be testing now to see if it is better to lower this setting in order for when the EA does hit trade where it needs to manage the trade with more then one open position if it will then close in profit sooner."

Just a word of advice if you don't mind, please kindly spend more time reading posts shared by NexusFX and other EA users and traders in this channel for your better understanding so that it could help save your time from asking questions which might have already been answered by others. Till then, all the best in your EA tests then. Take care and God bless![]()
I had the step set to 1. I had 24 wins in a straight roll today but markets started ranging (or rather not trending at all) while i was asleep, I got up to see it had 12 losses in a row, actually 6 trades since I had set it to open two traders per pair.
Wonder if someone found a way to sort out the mess during non trending markets.
Pardon me I might have to ask questions that have been answered, it's hard for me to read 1000 posts already made.
