Disliked{quote} Scott2Locky The pip count that George shows comes from a freely available indicator. No pips are added or data massaged, what you see is what the EA achieved.... unless of course the indicator is faulty then there would be a huge amount of people showing the wrong pip count. Thanks. {file}Ignored
Early in the thread there were a couple of screenshots made of winning trades using the term Basket Trade for the same instrument. (GJ if I recall correctly). There were multiple entries made and instead of averaging the entry price to accurately reflect the amount of pips made, each entry was added separately to inflate the pips that were made with that singular instrument. That is not how professional traders accurately convey results. Of course most institutional traders prefer percentages for returns, but when evaluating a strategy for smaller accounts, the pip return is good constant to use.
With that logic used, if I created an EA that entered every two seconds for one minute to split up the capital that I intended to use, I would have around 25-30x's the amount of pips as opposed to me entering one trade with the same capital risk.
