Wow how time flies! The 1 month test of Evolution has come to an end!

I must say this was a fun test, and the first of many tests of Magix's creations.

I did mention before that Evolution was my favorite test till now and had been doing really well throughout the month handling the DD in a pretty good way. Overall final results are also really good, and I'm impressed with what this first version was able to do.

Final stats: All time profit, 91%, on only 6 pairs! Wowzers that is impressive! On only 6 pairs this thing went on to make nearly $1k in a month, and that's with 0 intervention!

I am more than happy with the results, yes there is a bit of DD at the end, but if this test had run longer I'm sure it would have managed it.

I'm going to load up Revolution v1.1 on the same pairs and see how it compares, or maybe add a few more and see, but if this is what v1.0 was able to accomplish then v1.1 should be awesome. Thanks again Magix!

Evolution v1.1 TE has been uploaded on my profile.

I've loaded 10 pairs on a $1k account, lets see how it goes. I analyzed all my TE's to see which pairs were performing well, then cross referenced them with your magic 7, and my top performers, and settled for 10 correlated, and uncorrelated pairs.

Feel free to link it Magix.

Guys... here is my opinion with the differents version of Ev and Rev etc.. It's just my point of vue and it's not a critic, Magix have done a really good job.

So, you need to do a minimum of backtest if you want to have a realistic vue of what this EA can do it. On several pairs, you can see there is 2500 to 3000 $ of drawdown, and it's just in the year of 2017 ! I don't talk about 2010... or 2008 etc...

You need to know what is the worst case scenario and be prepared to it. If the logic don't change, (no SL, same % of win rate etc..) we can do only one thing... having 2000 $ PER pair and so, having 20 000 $ for using 10 pairs is the minimum for a long term view.

2018 have not a real movement like 2016 or 2017 and this is why it's starting very good for Ev or Rev. But if your goal is to win money with this EA, you can't just put 3000 $ and prey for not blowing up your account...you can do this in demo of course.

Why I talking about backtest ? because I have seen the logic and seen the movement, and it's match with the forward test, so let's assume than for now, we are in the same situation of volatility like in 2017, we would have the same drawdown... and with different pairs this is a 70 or 80% drawdown..

Again, this is just my opinion and Magix have done a great work. You just need to be realistic if you test it for making money and beeing safe as possible.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Not based on backtests...

But caution is always a good thing.

Looks Awesome, dude!

Setting the Magic Number to 0 only means that if you take a trade, the EA will cost average for you, if price is against you, or will close your position when the closing criteria are met. Besides that...all the same.

We still don't have a lot of history on 1.1a, yet...

I think all coding is correct, but I haven't seen full action as of yet...

That being said, looks like you know how to manage your account.

Keep on, keeping on!

Oh...and can I borrow $20?

Magix,
step order = 1 means it should open only one trade, right? Evolution 1.1a opens multiple positions with this setting.

Step order = minimum space between trades.

Default = 20 -> 2 pip minimum grid spacing.

There is no Max number of trades on these...not sure, with their current logic, that I'd want one...

Magix in the case of leaving the default magic number to 69, or changing it to 0, which would be the better option?

Wouldn't it be better for the EA to cost average positions out to minimize losses so have it set to 0?

If/When you use this and take manual trades, setting the Default Value to 0 will allow the logic to kick in and try and close this position in profit.
All Manual Trades have a Default Value of 0.

If there are already trades taken under a different magic number and you change the magic number, the EA stops looking at them...they become invisible...BUT...
Under a different magic number, the EA will continue to look for a trigger to take under the New Magic Number, completely forgetting that it took a trade under a different magic number.

If you only use this as was posted...there's no need to change the magic number.

If you want to fuck around and try this out with some manual trading...set the magic number to 0 and giver!

Does this make sense?

Now the excitement begins!!

Muwahahahahahahahah

I don't actually expect this position to come back and close out the others...it will most likely be one of many cost averages taken to start whittling away at the furthest trades...

Ok got ya, thanks!

Well I have changed the magic numbers, a different number for each pair, but that's only to monitor each pairs performance. I haven't noticed anything different and they all seem to be churning along.
