Aparsai,Was wondering if weightage can be given to the 5 pairs on the EA.

Say GBP/USD perforsm better overall than the other 4 pairs statistically in the past history of 3 weeks or more. Instead of 20% for each, I choose to allocate

GBPUSD 30%
USDCHF 25%
<the rest>15% each (x3)

Comments & criticisms welcome.

Hi Sogt,

I thought about this approach a few times but couldn't convince myself to go in this direction. I will do so if I'm convinced this method works better than allocating equal VARs to all of the pairs.

Thanks for sharing the idea with me.

What does VDS stand for ?
My guess is Virtual Dedicated Server?

How much does the VDS cost monthly/yearly contract to run EA?

You are right VDS stands for Virtual Dedicated Server. It is also called VPS or Virtual Private Server.

I pay slightly more than $32 per month but I paid for one complete year up-front.

I use a Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) aka Virtual Private Server (VPS) for my live account to make sure uninterrupted connection to the trading server. Unfortunately the VDS started logging me off and closing down MeteTrader starting from Monday (Nov 20, 06) afternoon.

I contacted the service provider (www.godaddy.com) but they didn't support me and didn't admit that the problem is from their side. This is the worst customer service I've ever received in North America. Anyway, I did all I could to fix the problem but unfortunately it's out of my control.

I transferred the trading station to my own computer eventually. This may cause some interruption in trades. I'll figure out another approach as soon as everything settles down with godaddy.com. BTW, I'll keep you updated.

I made 223 pips today. Thanks to my set of EAs. Here is the results of the day.

I'm so happy with the results that I may stop trading this week. Of course I consider the fact that my VDS is not working and most probably the rest of the week would be lousy due to Thanksgiving holiday. Here are the complete set of trades for the day.

Hi Tradeigel,

Thanks very much for your positive feedback. I stopped trading during Thanksgiving simply because my broker works a limite number of hours and I was worried that I might ruin my winner week by entering a probably low volume market.

On the other hand I had problems with my VDS provider and eventully cancelled the account, so I was looking for an alternative reliable internet connection.

Good Luck,
Al

This week was a hectic week. I lost my VDS account due to the bad service. Just a note whatever you do, do not deal with godaddy.com. The worst customer service in North America.

Anyway, I stopped trading on Wednesday afternoon and I missed the bread and butter of Friday. However, I'm happy as the week was a successful one. I'll post the results later this evening.

Good Luck to everybody and have a great weekend.

Great results. Thanks for sharing them with me. It would be even better if you had posted them on the Pip_Boxer EA thread.

Good Luck with forward testing,

Although I had problems with running the EA smoothly due to that VDS thing which I won't discuss it anymore, I made 351 pips this week. It was the best week ever. I wish I could enter the market in the last two days. Anyways, here are the results.

As you can see the big winner was GBPUSD.

  • Nov 24, 2006 4:26pm Nov 24, 2006 4:26pm
The system has traded 94 trades so far. The absolute winner pairs are GBPUSD and USDCHF. Other pairs are still shaky. The system has generated 679 pips for me so far.

Hi again aparsai. I'm checking your trades against mine for just nov. 22 and noticed your trade enter usdjpy while mine traded gbpusd. I downloaded your files and did not change the defaults. Have you made mods since then? If yes, any chance for me to take a look at the new improved optimized modifications? Thanks.

The ones that I use are exactly the same as those up on FF. The reason that you might see different behaviours is mostly due to consecutive trading. For example If on 22nd you have a trade open and my trade is already closed you won't enter a new trade but I will.

Good Luck,
