In the window of manual settings click on the “Load” button and load the set-file, the name of which corresponds to the currency pair you have chosen for trading.
Select the correct folder to configure time-zone of EA Classicus. Your choice should depend on what time GMT the platform of your broker is used during the summer time (for example, if the platform of your broker is working in summer time GMT+3, then select the folder SummerGMT+3).
To find out the current GMT time of your broker, open the “Market Watch” tab on your platform, see what time is indicated there and determine what GMT time is used by your broker’s platform.
After you have determined which time zone your platform uses in the summer, you will know which folder with set files you should use to configure the trading robot. For example, the ICMarkets broker uses summer time GMT +3. Accordingly, for trading on the ICMarkets platform, you must use set files from the GMT +3 folder.
IMPORTANT! EA Classicus has a clear reference to the time of the exchange rollover that cannot be changed when broker switches to winter or summer time. Therefore, in order to exclude errors in the settings of EA in different year time, we chose the unified time standard– “summer time of broker”. This temporary option works both in summer and winter. Thus, when your brokerage company switches to winter or summer time, the time settings of EA Classicus forex robot do not need to be changed!!
Trading risk size
In manual settings, you can choose one of two options for setting the size of the trading lot.
If you want to trade with a fixed lot, then set the Auto-lot function to 0.0 and set the desired risk size for the Fix-lot function.
If you want the advisor to calculate the trading lot size automatically, then set the fix-lot function to 0.0. In so doing, set the desired risk size for the Auto-lot function.
For example, a value of 2-3 is the minimum risk. A value of 4-5 is the average risk. A value of 7-10 is aggressive risk.
