FXCM StrategyTrader Question

Trading Systems Expert Advisors and Automated Trading
1

I have been playing around with FXCM Strategy Trader automated trading system. But one thing i can not determine is when the system places trades how does it know what lot size to use when the system enters the trade? When i do make a live account it will be a micro account i do not want to wiped out because it places a large lot size and the trade goes south. Does any one know how to change or view these settings?

thanks,

The demo is on a standard account if I remember FXCM does not offer micro account demo’s. If you run it on a micro account it will trade correctly I believe it will detect the kind of account that it is connected to. There is a good forum on the FXCM site have you asked there?

thanks for the reply, They now offer demo micro accounts, Its still a standard account just with the ability to trade micro lots.

BTW I’m a stargate fan myself!
