Updates
Edge v6.0
- Smarter Lot Size Management: When a trade opened at the maximum lot size results in a loss, the system now automatically resets to the initial lot size for the very next trade. This immediate reduction in exposure significantly improves risk control and better protects your capital, especially during extended losing streaks.
- Reduced Drawdown: We've achieved a significant decrease in both Balance Drawdown Maximal and Equity Drawdown Maximal. This means you'll experience a more stable trading journey with less severe fluctuations in your account's value.
- Overall Robustness: While you might see a slightly lower net profit compared to version 5 in backtesting, this is a direct result of our more conservative risk approach in version 6. Our main goal with this update is to provide a more robust and capital-protective trading solution, even if it means stepping back from aggressive profit-seeking in high-risk situations.
