EasyGoldEasyGold: Grid trading systems risks
Because EasyGold operates as a grid trading system, it is crucial to prioritize effective money and risk management to ensure its long-term sustainability. To help you fully understand this critical aspect, we have prepared an in-depth exploration covering all the essential information.
We strongly recommend reading this material carefully before engaging in trading with EasyGold or any other grid trading system.
- Money Management: The first thing we always emphasize is money management. Simply put, this refers to the lot size you choose in relation to your deposit size. In EasyAI, EasyWaka, and EasyGold, this is controlled by the ‘Lot-sizing Method’ parameter and other related settings. In most cases, selecting one of the predefined risk levels (low, medium, or high) in this parameter is sufficient. This simplifies money management for the majority of users. You can see how EasyAI performed with each risk level in the "Risk Management" section of our help center.
- Risk Management: Risk management focuses on how the EA handles drawdowns. The simplest approach is to use the ‘Max Floating Drawdown %’ parameter. For example, setting it to 30 means the EA will close all trades if a 30% drawdown is reached, preserving the remaining 70% of the account. However, this parameter is tied to money management. If you set a tight drawdown limit with a high-risk level, it will likely trigger frequently during normal EA operations, disrupting its trading. For instance, choosing high risk with a maximum drawdown set to 5% is counterproductive and will likely lead to losses. We generally recommend setting the drawdown limit above the maximum drawdown observed during testing. If you cannot test the EA yourself, we have already compiled long-term test results in the "Risk Management" section of our help center.
- Default Parameters: People often ask us what settings they should use for the EA. Our answer is straightforward: we use the default settings, as they work best in most cases. While this may sound boring, successful trading and investing often are. As Warren Buffet famously said, “Beware the investment activity that produces applause; the great moves are usually greeted by yawns.” If trading feels routine or even dull, it’s often a sign you’re on the right path.
- Align Money Management with Deposit Size and Account Leverage:: By definition, you cannot use high risks on an account with 1:30 leverage. Similarly, using low risks on a small deposit (e.g., $100) is impractical. Ensure your money management strategy aligns with your deposit size and account leverage.
- Ensure Your VPS Operates 24/5: If the EA enters a position and your VPS goes offline for a day or two, it might miss key market reversals, potentially leading to losses. Ensure that your VPS is stable and reliable
- Take It Seriously and Plan Ahead: Every example we’ve outlined above reflects real scenarios. Some users have used high risk with a tight 5% drawdown limitation, adjusted grid coefficients unnecessarily, or attempted to trade with a small deposit on a 1:30 leverage account, all of which led to suboptimal outcomes. Take the time to plan, understand the settings, and trade responsibly.
Each of these examples meant losses. Each of these rules meant someone lost real money.
There is a saying in the health and safety industry that “all safety regulations are written in blood”. It’s true, and the same goes for the rules outlined in these few pages. Each of them is written with losses of traders.
It’s smart to take all of them into account and trade accordingly, with strict risk and money management in place.
