Check the set file you use. I recommend trading only the 3 best pairs, it usually gets a bit better overall results. Yes, any particular month can be better with a 9-12 pairs combination, but I'm talking about the overall statistics here. Although trading 5 pairs is also fine

Check whether your broker is good enough for night scalping at all. Many brokers have huge spreads and commissions + slippages, they will slowly get most of your scalping profits to themselves through bad trading conditions during the night. If you are not sure how to check it, please, write me in private messages or in the EA discussion

Use rebate service of your liking that will pay you back part of the commission you paid to the broker or a commission discount if that is applicable to your broker. If you need advice, please, write me personally

With IC Markets the use of AUD-nominated accounts will allow you to reduce the commission you pay to the broker by 20-30%. You will lose a bit during the exchange to/from AUD, so this is a solution for the long term. If you want to know whether this can help you, write me in private messages

You should use the 'Split Orders' parameter in case of significant slippages on entries/exits due to the use of big lot size. This parameter will split big lot sizes on several slightly different entries to prevent slippage from occurring. Slippage dependence on the lot size varies from broker to broker, usually it is much better to keep lot size of a single entry not larger than 0.2-0.5 (2-5 lot size of the overall entry with the 'Split Orders' set to 10). If your order size is larger than 0.8-1 you will experience significant slippage with most brokers. In this case you can lower risks or split the deposit across multiple accounts/brokers

If you have a significant deposit size, better split it between different brokers, as well as between accounts of the same broker. You will diversify your trading a little bit this way and you will have lower slippages due to smaller lot sizes. You can combine splitting the entry and using several brokers/accounts to improve execution significantly for almost any sensible amount of funds

If your results are pretty much the same as mine, just wait for at least a month, and if this month turns out to be a bad one - at least a quarter and you will see that the overall profit is close to mine and close to the overall statistics. Please, do not watch it trading day by day if you are not a professional trading with years of experience! The essential feature of the normal human psyche (not a deformed one of a professional trader) is loss aversion. To make it simple: you feel the pain of losing the money twice as much as the joy of receiving it. So if you watch trading day by day it will mess with your head: even if you have the overall profit, you will have a feeling that it all goes to hell
