Hello cupidsux.
The free margin depends from your trade size, the broker margin requirement (info is shown on the Slave EA, optional you can check the contract specifications) and last but not least your account leverage. Swap Master controls the trades and the terminals but not how much free margin there is.

Anyway, I understand that you like the new calculation method a lot more than the actual. I can ensure you that we work every day long hours to get everything ready and tested. Assuming that we can keep the time schedule, we will be ready within the next days and from there we will need approximately 5-10 days to test all new functions.

However, you have to consider that 1.3 is a cross platform, multi terminal, multi operating system software and sometimes it is very challenging to work with.

...its working perfectly as it is on demo which i've run for a week or 2...
I am glad to hear that. You will see it will run the same perfect on live trading accounts.

I hope this helps.

You mean it can connect not only multiple MT4 terminals but also MT4 and MT5 terminals?

I guess it will be that we can connect MT4 terminals with other MT4 terminals and MT5 terminals with other MT5 terminals, correct?

No, I was not talking about one version for Meta Trader 4 and another version for Meta Trader 5. I talked about true cross platform functionality.

Here are some examples for possible platform combinations:

Portfolio 1
Account 1 | Meta Trader 4
Account 2 | Meta Trader 4

Portfolio 2
Account 1 | Meta Trader 4
Account 2 | Meta Trader 4
Account 3 | Meta Trader 5

Portfolio 3
Account 1 | Meta Trader 4
Account 2 | Meta Trader 5
Account 3 | Meta Trader 5
Account 4 | Meta Trader 5

How much portfolios can we run at the same time?
how many portfolios or lots you can squeeze in depends on your margin requirement , but frankly , for now , swap rate is pretty low right now , so to maintain a moderated risk of 0.1lot at capital 1.1k , its only generating 1 dollar + - a day plus currently the next version with enhance low limit percent is not out yet, so my opinion, look at other EA for the time being.

but of course you can gear it higher if you want, then you will risk the required rebalancing of broker account with their relevant cc charges or the waiting time of estimated 3 days .

if you didn't manage to rebalance and position got close, depends on your preset reduce position or total close position, you risk the commission and spread rates, average takes about 7 days to earn back spread rates differential and 5-7 days for commission ?

do you think its worth it ?

You can run up to four portfolios on a single computer or virtual private server.

Yes. I also think so. Beside, if you want to run more portfolios you always can rent a VPS and run four more.

{quote} It works great. Almost a bit surreal because your account grows every day by the same amount. Daily gains are small but they sum up over time. Midnight Midnight Midnight Midnight Midnight If you run a 7% portfolio, the monthly gain is 7%, not 3.5%. It's easy to keep track because all figures are shown on the chart. I don't think that they offer trial versions but they have some refund policy. John

Happy Easter to you and your family!

Yes. It works. Though, I will need to change one portfolio in the next days because brokers finally started to pass on the lower USD interest rate. But there are other options, so that is not a biggie.

Hello Iamfx.
Yes, update status is still coming soon. The cross platform functionality requires lots of testing and we don't release updates unless we are sure everything works 100% correct. I am sure you understand.

I don't need somebody to do the research for me that's why I don't know which portfolios are 'down'. All advanced portfolios are certainly not down. My 3 brokers, 5 instrument combo does 3.78%/mo with light load and 7.57%/mo with regular load.

Always happy to share with fellow traders but I feel that you look for a one sided sharing deal and I don't do that. I am sure you understand.

Always happy to share with fellow traders but I feel that you look for a one sided sharing deal and I don't do that. I am sure you understand.

can see that you don't share which ever side your on anyway since there's no clear indication in the private forum of your proposed methodology. why bother to make it sounds like the EA is fantastic with your supposed matching currency pair & broker where 95% of users are like me whom just follow whats works and continue with the EA method ?

& since it wouldn't affect your earning even if you share, don't make it sounds like you are willing to share when even in private forum there's currently no feasible reasonable returns even in advance portfolio or any indication of your stated sharing. So please, since you are behaving in such a selfish manner, then please don't state like your a saint and mislead other users since frankly whether you acknowledge or doubt, 95-99% of users are like me that's wants to use the EA and follow the method and if possible, finds new way and share in the private forum and not someone like you whom trying to brag and mislead people into false conception only to realized upon purchasing that currently even advance portfolio is having difficulty making decent % per month.

& one of the most popular advance portfolio that's discuss in the private group is having $3.63 per (standard set) lot, no no , its not down, its just too low to be viable at least for me frankly. so base on your statement of [All advanced portfolios are certainly not down] , frankly i don't know which one are you referring to or will you be saying you don't know which portfolios are down ?

Mate, half of what you write does not make sense and the other half I did not read. The HK$ play worked for six months and now it kinda dried out. It works until it doesn't, you know.

Anyway, I am happy to share and exchange ideas but I have no free lunch box for you cupidsux.

I know what John trades and information about this portfolio and some others will be available on the forex21 forum shortly. I did not post any information about it earlier because I wanted to make sure rates are stable.

  1. We are still working on the update. As I mentioned earlier the cross platform functionality turned out to be more challenging than anticipated.
  2. Because of COVID-19, many interest rates changed recently and as result some portfolios stopped to work. What happens usually over a period of 1-2 years, happend within 1-2 weeks and it is perfectly understandable that traders who are new to swap trading found that confusing.
  3. I will post some additional information about the profit potential of actual portfolios within the next days. Generally speaking, the upper limit in terms of monthly performance is at the moment 8-8.5%

@cupidsux

  1. If you do not want to conduct your own research, you don't have to. That's why we share research on our forum.
  2. To insult others and make false accusations because somebody does not want to share with you what he or she is trading is not acceptable.

Follow up info regarding available portfolios and swap combinations...

On the forum are currently 15 portfolio combinations posted. The best portfolio returns at the moment $27 daily for every lot traded. That is a monthly profit of 8-12%. The exact percentage depends on how much size one is trading.

To be fair I have to add that because of the changes in the interest rates, some of the old portfolios dont work anymore or dont work anymore very well.
As example: In 2019 a EURUSD portfolio could make easily 6%/months. That number is now down to 2.5-3%/months.

Usually interest rates change very slowly. That means when you trade swaps you have plenty of time to adapt. Because of COVID-19, some interest rates changed very quick and I understand that it was challenging for some users to adapt.

By now, we can see that volatility levels are falling and most brokers adjusted their swap rates. We know what to work with and it looks like we come back to calm waters. That said, economies will recover and rates will change again over time. And that means we will need to make again adjustments over time.

I hope this helps.

{quote} Do you have an evaluation copy for us to try? As all orders are backed up by our no question asked refund policy, we do not offer trial versions. Is it possible to use this strategy on only one broker? Have you ever found pairs (two or more) within the same broker giving positive nett swaps? No, that is not possible. On one and the same broker there is always a negative difference between long and short swap. You always need at least two brokers. Am I right to say that the main functions of the EA is to help calculate reasonable lot sizes...
how can I get this from you
