Pro Tip · Mr. Bom
I set RiskPercent to 1% on real accounts · 2% on Demo · SL_Points at 500 points for XAU · BE_Points at 300 points · ProfitLock_Points at 200 points · Save preset after every tuning session · Load the same preset on new accounts · Start trading in 30 seconds · During CPI I reduce RiskPercent by 0.5% · Increase SL_Points to 700 to prevent spikes · After each session I backup preset files to Google Drive · Prevents presets from being lost if MT5 resets
FAQ
Q: MM_Mode = Risk vs Fixed, which should I choose?
A: Beginners and small portfolios choose Risk · Large portfolios trading fixed lots choose Fixed
Q: Is SL_Points 500 too little or too much for XAU?
A: It's moderate · XAU's normal daily ATR is 600-1200 points · 500 is right for M15 setups
Q: Where are saved presets stored?
A: In MT5/profiles or MT5/MQL5/Presets · Backup .set files to cloud in case of MT5 reset
Q: Is it good to adjust Grid_Step_Points smaller?
A: Too small below 600 opens trades too frequently · Margin used quickly · Narrow sideways at 800 is optimal
