ONYXNIGHTSHADE / Small Account Setup
⚠️
Test on demo before going live Margin and leverage rules differ by broker. Apply this profile on a demo account first and confirm the robot can actually open a 0.02-lot position with your broker's margin requirements before funding a live $100 account.
Setup Guide

Small Account Setup

A recommended Inputs profile for running the robot on a very small account. Only three parameters actually need to change from the defaults — everything else can stay as-is.

$100 target account balance

🟠 Position Sizing

These control how large each position is and how many can be open together. This is the part that actually matters for a small balance.

ParameterDescriptionSetting
UseFixedLotUse a fixed lot size instead of a risk-percentage calculation.Onalready the default — leave as-is
FixedLotSizeThe lot size for a full-size position. The half-position (Momentum Exception) system automatically opens at half of this.0.02was 0.06
MaxOpenPositionsMaximum number of positions open at the same time. On a small balance, multiple simultaneous positions can exhaust margin quickly.1was 3
RiskPercentOnly used if you later switch UseFixedLot off. Percentage of balance risked per trade.1.5%no change needed — already sized for a small account

🟡 Arbitrage Strategy (recommend disabling)

Each arbitrage entry opens three positions at once, on three different forex pairs — the combined margin required is usually too much for a $100 balance.

ParameterDescriptionSetting
EnableArbitrageStrategyTurns the whole triangular arbitrage module on or off.Offwas On
ArbitrageLotSizeOnly relevant if you choose to keep arbitrage enabled anyway. Lot size per leg (×3 legs open together).0.01only if re-enabling — was 0.1
Account-wide risk guard is not exposed here The drawdown / emergency-close thresholds (RiskLevel, MaxDD) are calibrated internally and are not visible in the Inputs panel. If you want those specifically recalibrated for a $100 balance, that requires a code change on our side — get in touch and we'll adjust it for you.
