Jim,
That's interesting. Maybe your acct is micro. I run only 1 pair EURUSD on a mini acct. I was mistaken that I got margin call, but it was actually not having enough money to open a 13.3 lot size. So*the whole move when it was lost*was about -$1800 something.

Thank you Jim

Warm regards.

Yes, I run it 24 hrs, but i manually closed all trades on friday before close, regardless of whether they were in profit or not.
No I havent gotten margin called, and I haven't even gotten close that I have noticed.* It's gotten a bit worse having the 3 pairs, as audusd and nzdusd were getting a bit out of control, so tonight I shut those two pairs down.* I am running it from this point on only with eurusd.* Eurusd seems to be making most of the profit anyhow.
Maybe you are running too many pairs at once, or don't have enough capital to cover it.* even if mine opened a 13 lot trade, that's only about $950 of margin required, so my 5k - 8k balance can cover that no problem.* If that happened on all 3 pairs or more pairs, then yes, a serious problem.
I have posted my results daily, so you can take a look and see what it's done for me.* The largest eurusd trade I have seen open has been 7.9 lot or so, if I recall.

Hello Jim,
Do you let the EA running 24hr ? Your acct started out w/ $5000 but
somehow never get margin call. Your max ordered lot was 4.8, mine was
7.4 before running out of money for a net martingale level 13.3 . But
my demo broker is different to yours.

Warm regards.

most of the time but only need 1 time lost to take it to negative
P/L. It look like after 6 or 7 time of martigale level trying to
recover its lost, it ran out of margin with an order of 13.30 lot. It
was negative P/L around $1800s, and - 1700s as I am typing this.
