In this automated video we are trading the year 2008 with a random entry. The risk setting is 2.5, because in 2008 it would have been a good idea to use a low risk setting.

2008 was the year where most people lost money because of the financial crisis.

I heard about several institutes that had the best equipment, the best experts and the biggest trading accounts – and they still lost money!

So probably it would have been a good idea not to trade at all in 2008.

But nobody can see the future and if you would have traded that year, you could have made a profit – if you were wise enough to use a very low risk setting.

By the way, we adjust the risk setting on the input tab of the backtester and that setting can be changed without any coding.

2.5 was a good choice in this case, only a slightly higher value might have crashed the $50000 account.

I think most people don’t know their risk setting and some folks might not even know what a risk setting is.

Basically it is a multiplicator that calculates the allowed number of positions based on the current monetary results.
