After suffering losses last month in my Precision gold-scalping account and the Octane account, I have explored methods to get my goals back on track. Precision has not had a losing trading day since its “bad” day, so I “sort of” trust it again. The “retired” Octane bot hasn’t been active in almost a month, but the trading account still had some funds. What could I do? Well, I tried something…
- After holding out hope the Octane bot would be activated again in my account, I lost hope this week. A new version is being developed to fix some problems, but no dates were available. The money sitting in the Octane account was collecting dust.
- Precision has been watching gold go up and down the past month. Yet, the lot size settings I provided the bot kept it out of danger. Even in a volatile market, it was dodging any hard slaps from any of its gold trades.
- So, the marriage was arranged. I transferred the Octane funds into the Precision account. I adjusted the Precision lot size settings a very small amount. With nearly $50,000 in the account, I made the lot size 0.05. This could double the daily returns of this bot…or not.
| Lot Size | Risk |
| 0.01 per $5,000-10,000 | Low |
| 0.01 per $3,000-5,000 | Medium |
| 0.01 per $1,000 | High |
Having given Precision plenty of latitude in its trading, I thought my money shuffling was done. Then, this morning, I saw my Aviator bot was dangerously close to a margin level of 400%. What did I do? I shuffled $5,000 of Precision’s extra money over to Aviator. Bot farming isn’t pretty every day. If it were, I would have nothing to write about.
