Position sizing appears correct but account wiped out after one loss
-
Hey,
I keep having this issue in the last two days. My pending orders are set up to bet a fixed amount of money, in this case 100GBP. However, as you can see from the screenshot the first trade in this data set is a loss but wipes out 98% of my 10,000GBP account. This then terminates the EA no doubt due to lack of funds.
I've tried a few different position sizing options like % of balance set to 0.1% or 1% of my balance but still wipes out my account in the same way even though the lots (or GBP per point in this case) are small and reasonable. The screenshots show a lot size 0.47.
This doesn't seem to add up.
Any help appreciated.

Interesting. I think this happens when the second symbol in the pair is not the same as the deposit currency. It works properly for me on EURUSD when the deposit currency is USD. I need to check what is going on.
