Envelope Countertrend EA Sequel: For Those Afraid of Lot Sizes | Three Recommended Fixed/Upper Limit Patterns (For Beginners)
In the previous article, we organized that daedalus-k-lev8 has a design where the lot increases the deeper the divergence.
This mechanism has the merit of “the deeper it goes, the more aggressively it aims,”
while it also becomes a point of concern for some operators who worry that the lot may increase.
Therefore, this time as a sequel, we briefly summarize three recommended patterns for初心者でも迷いにくい

1) Conclusion: Start with either “Fixed” or “Upper limit” to eliminate anxiety
If you’re afraid of increasing the lot, the action is simple.
・Fix the lot and “do not increase even when it becomes deeper”
or
・Create an upper limit to “control deep zones only”
With just this, it becomes psychologically and operationally more stable.
2) Recommendation ①: Fully fixed (the safest)
【Suitable for】
・Afraid of counter-trend
・First want to observe behavior
・Concerned about consecutive losses or drawdown
【Method】
Set all LEV1–LEV8 lots to the same value.
【Advantages】
・Risk is easy to read
・Even in volatile markets, the lot does not increase
【Points to note】
・The benefit of “aiming strongly” in deep divergence diminishes
（However, it is fine as a first introduction】
3) Recommendation ②: Create only an upper limit (balanced type)
【Suitable for】
・Want to retain the benefits of lot growth
・But want to curb risk only in deep areas
【Example method】
LEV1–LEV6 toward default, only cap lots at LEV7–LEV8.
【Benefits】
・Usually operates as designed
・Only in “rough market” situations does braking occur
【Notes】
・In strong trend phases, continuous deep divergence reduces opportunities; consider measures like pausing operation or time-of-day restrictions
4) Recommendation ③: Gradually smooth the steps (milder increase)
【Suitable for】
・Fixed is not satisfying
・Want growth but not a sudden large increase
【Method】
Increase the lot as the level rises, but reduce the increment to keep it smooth.
【Advantages】
・Preserves the design philosophy (increase as it goes deeper) while reducing aggressiveness
・Reduces perceived stress
【Notes】
・After adjustments, always verify behavior with a tester (visual if possible)
5) Note: Consider market conditions (range/trend) together
Lot anxiety changes not only by settings but also by market environment.
・Range (has reversals) → patterns align more easily, easier to operate as expected
・Strong trend (no pullback) → counter-trading becomes disadvantageous
Before adjusting the lot, arranging the market environment (time slots/currency/environment) makes it easier to stabilize.
Summary: In the beginning, the correct answer is to eliminate fear with the right setting
・First, use “Fully Fixed” or “Upper limit” to eliminate anxiety
・Once familiar, adjust in the order of “Upper limit” → “Mild increase”
・If possible, consider market environment (range/trend) together for stability
