They do seem to work as long as you are using the right one. They also seem to take alot of the emotion out of trading. Which one are you testing out? I am testing the Pheonix 2007 EA.

I just noticed one thing with thing with this EA. It still says Pheonix3 in the comment field. Not a big deal unless you are reporting off that field.

The mini account trades in lot sizes of 10,000 instead of 100,000. It has a 200:1 leverage, so 1 full lot = $50 of real money. The account has approximately $200 in it so I would like to run this EA using a max of 2% equity or .2 lot size. What ...

Is this EA only working on full sized accounts? I have a mini account thru InterbankFX and when i use a small dollar amount like $200 in the tester it will not open any trades. I have even adjusted the settings to use 1% equity instead of the 8% ...

I really like this idea and post. The method that I have been trying to reproduce into an EA (unsucessfully using this EA creator tool that I found) is the Vegas 4 hour method. Have you tried coding it yet?

Thank you all for your advice. I have decided to end my test of this system. While I think it would be profitable I think I have found something similar that is more developed in the james group threads. Thank you to those of you that offered your ...

The trend might start with the smaller timeframe, but the odds are in your favor that a smaller trend will succeed when a matching trend is in progress on a larger time frame. When the two timeframes are trending in opposite directions then the ...

The idea is the same as in the Vegas 4 hour method. In his method he will not take a long position on the 4 Hour chart unless there is an uptrend in progress on the weekly chart and vice versa for short positions. Read section three of the attached ...

Thanks for the money management advice. I actually do invest quite a bit of my income in much less volitile instruments. I stick 15% of every paycheck into savings of one sort or another. I put 10% into a moderately-agressive international mutual ...

Both of these are good ideas. I will look into exiting when the slope changes instead of waiting for the first cross. Do you know if a slope change can be scripted in an EA as an event? I definately like the idea of only entering a trade in the ...

Bad luck on my first Sidus trade. — Right before I went to bed last night I entered a short order on EUR/GBP as the red lines had crossed, and when I woke up in the morning to check I had been stopped out at a 15 PIP loss as the trend reversed ...
