Tried this on live account, only stuck in £30, in my eyes live will always be better than demo for testing... had this running 30 mins after NFP until an hour ago ( will only run in liquid sessions. ) 33% growth for few hours, running on 15 min chart, USDJPY; GBPUSD; GBPJPY; EURCHF; EURUSD and USDCHF. will keep you posted next week. {image}

I think 1m chart can do better. Try to run it on 1m chart for couple of pairs as well if you want .

Thanks for testing it on live account. I might test it on live account aa well if it keeps going this good.

if and once the account as at a better balance i will try M1, only problem I'm seeing in your updates is draw-down on the M1; draw-down doesn't worry me but i'd rather make the account last a little long than get margin called strait away.

but i will do it soon enough promising start though! $30 was enough to throw away to try this out

I agree. I hope someone does modify it and includes trading hour option so we cant permanently disable it during news hours and low volume hours. I have requested this change in another forum where I have been a member since many years. If someone modifies it there I will post it here.

I have also thought to just place it on 1 chart and increase lot size maybe gbpjpy. Let's see

What it needs is news feed from FF, so ea can see high impact news coming, stop trades 45mins before close all trades (win or lose) and then restart after 45mins of news passing.

My thought hedging it between other pairs was a brilliant idea, you started with USDJPY; GBPUSD; GBPJPY in your first post which i used and then added EURCHF; EURUSD and USDCHF into the mix, i think with right money management and hedging between the pairs and a news filter this'll be a good EA

Just to keep track of it , below trades are open and going into weekend, lets see if these produce a big loss or big profit but will try close the EA on friday next week so it doesnt keep any trades going.

Also just to clear, the minprofit listed in setting is in $$ not in pips which i just realized , this might change the game as I was taking it as pips.

Hi Singh1,

Thanks for EA. Since it's Martingale EA, Be careful when big trend comes, it will die sooner or later as many people says.
So far, I play with Martingale and never succeed with it in long run yet. Still don't find good way to deal with big trend.

Anyway, hope you can find way (hedging, MM, etc.) to improve this EA with success.

So far trade report of both time frames 1m chart {image} 15m chart {image}
How come the strategy tester report has more than 80% success rate then, but yours is significantly lower. I know the results are even still outstanding though, judging by the profits

Looking at your trades, i just noticed the martingale feature in action. But how come the strategy tester backtest result that came with the EA did'nt show any use of martingale for a period of 6 months?

I think one can decide to turn off the martingale and probably still be profitable as revealed in the strategy tester result, if you set IncLot=0.

Agree, but in long trends it still can be to get a margin call.
...and in long trends there are a lot of open positions...

When you are saying Report vs yours, are you refering to EA result vs report?

I am not sure what difference you are talking about in two reports.

All I noticed is that balance and profit is equal on both reports and to be honest I do not care much about Drawdown.

Maybe you can point out exact difference you are talking about and I can investigate for you.

I didnt code this EA so maybe author used some different setting and maybe he didnt use step feature. I dont trust backtest anyways.

I dont know if without martingale this EA is any good. If you are running back test then I dont know how reliable backtest can be. Since my 1m EA is running for 1 day , let it run for another week and then you can try to backtest for a week and see if you get same results as EA got on live testing. If your backtest shows different results with same settings then its not good right and if you do get same results then you can try changing setting in backtest and see if you get better results which will improve EA.


I would say this about EA... this EA is doomed to fail on a big news when a lets say 100 pips sudden jump happen because it will be a huge drawdown and maybe balance will be wiped. That is why I want to ignore news hours such as Ney York time 8am to 10am and then maybe some london hours and some asian hours when big new is there. So lets see if a coder can code trading hours into it.

If just to filter trading hour and not forex news, I added an easy condition to filter trading hours but not test it yet.
