Live results:

$1,850.00 profit; +$240 float. In a choppy market. See attached. Can I stop kicking myself in the head for not restarting the platform after compiling? Only cost me 12 large, that is $12,000 profit on the cable move up, that's all. That's okay. I'll get it tonight.

What I find compelling is that the EA will take its time, find an entry, ride the trend then exit capturing some profit should the trend reverse. If the pair continues trending in the new direction, the EA buys (or sells as appropriate). Only unsettling piece is that there appears to be a hedge function that I don't recall reading about in either thread or in the documentation. In any event, other than Eur/USD, the EA performs relatively well, understanding that GirlFlyer's been debugging the code for a while, if you count the original version.

Wow thats a good return. Say can you explain your statement about restarting the platform after compiling?

Thanks for your input, I'm a little new with the terminology. Is this something we all should do?

I'm not really clear on the rule, but there are times when EAs won't execute unless you: (1) compile it; and (2) restart the platform, meaning exit and logon again.

There are times when I compile other EAs and execution is no problem; other times when I compile the same EA and it fails to execute, unless I restart the platform. So I honestly don't see the rhyme or reason to it. I do know my demo platform ran Flyer! with one lot for $1,200 and the live platform didn't execute Flyer! during the same period.

So if your EA is not executing after compilation, and you've got the smiley faces and trades allowed, etc., but still nothing after 24 hours, I would suggest removing the EA from the chart, closing the platform, restarting the platform and reinstalling the EA on the chart.

Just click and open it. It should automatically load in your meta-editor library. Compile it, close and re-open your platform, then add it to the desired chart(s).

Better yet, see the following thread:

MM,

There is no intentional hedging feature, but is an automatic result of allowing the EA to trade both short and long at the same time. I've seen on the backtests where in indecisive markets, its a nice addition to pick up some cash both ways. Theoretically, with the EA watching the trend, it shouldn't be open both ways, but sometimes after going one way, the trend changes and it buys into it the other way. If the market consolidates for a period of time during this kind of situation, it is likely that it will pick up a profit both ways.

Anyway, regarding the Eur/usd... the settings that were given initially may not be the most optimum for it. I will be doing some further research on it and see what I can come up with. The EA keeps surprising me sometimes where it finds that right balance to come up with good profits.

Glad its working well for you. I'm finally live now 24/7 so I can keep a good eye now on how it works forward testing.

My apologies everyone.

Subtract the 10-lot $1,000 cable trade from Flyer!'s results. That was another EA. So Flyer! produced $850.00 in profit, plus the float I reported earlier, which declined and I closed out at $110.00 profit for a total of $960.00.

My bad!

Live. That's why I keep taking profit because it's forwardtesting "live", using standard lots.

Are you letting Flyer EA run on its own (Start and Exit) or are you making manual adjustments as it goes? Are you trading on all 3 pairs that have been tested so far?

Default is for eur/usd. You need to just set your stop loss on GBP/usd to 58. The rest is done automatically
