Maximum Risk range in the 16 year test was $ 1586.  

The test results are verified and published on Myfxbook.com  

• Once off event  - This negative equity level occurred once over the 16 year test period.   

• Positive swap improves equity - The test do not factor in positive swap ( 200 points, per position, per month month) which is added to floating equity overnight - so it is possible that the  negative equity maximum reaced in the test will be lower in real trading.     

• Same settings used in real trading - Our Master trader account uses the exact same settings as used in the test so in theory the maximum negative equity level should be more or less the same.      

• More profit on lower balance ( test ) - The results shows bigger profits in 2009 ( 2  - 3 %  ) , and lower profits as the test continues up to 2025.  This is because the opening trade size remained 0.01 throughout the test , and was not increased in line with the higher balance over time  There is a good reason for this: The purpose of the test was to establish the maximum USD drawdown value using 0.01 as volume size for the opening trade. 

Applied to risk management

The $1586 maximum negative floating equity recorded in the test do not offer a guarrantee, but can be used as approximate guide for risk planning:  

• A $ 3000 deposit should always have sufficient margin ( using 1 x multiplier;  0.01 lots)    

• $ 2000 deposit . There is a very small chance that an additional deposit ( $1000) may be needed.  ( using 1 x multiplier ; 0.01 lots)    

• $1000 deposit: It may happen that your floating equity reaches - 600 or more. ( Using 1 x multiplier ; 0.01 lots) You would need to keep an eye on our Equity monitor channel, and have access to up to $2000 to deposit to protect your account. Roboforex has a 30% stopout. To be safe, you should add extra funds at around 50 or 60% negative floating equity levels.
