North Finance has 1 hundred or so...but no nanolots...some people can get 500:1...
but here is the question...how many correlations do you get with 100 symbols?
and would you send 100k to Cypress?...Belize...and places like that while you are here in the USA?

P.S. trendchaser don't waste you time with the likes of posters like gnat...they know everything and you can't change it
trendchaser,
I know you don't broadcast publically or condone going live blindly...who would want that responsibility(every trader should know by now that it is YOUR OWN responsibility and no one elses...but our thread author does not want to lead anybody down the wrong path)
But normally
1) I test in Demo for 3-6 months
then..
2) I go live with nanolots...(0.01 in a mini IBFX usually with a 1K test balance as that is what I am accustomed to)
then...
3) I calibrate to the DD I can tolerate...
I am a forward tester and do not backtest.
I was thinking if there were setting risking just a few bucks it would not hurt to cut tot he chase and straight to live...but being that this is mathematically progressing model...it may not matter much if one starts out a progression at the minimum of 0.01 lotsize.
Is there a minimalistic approach for me to jump to step 2 immediatly?

Hey TC we should get together some time over a beer Keep me in the loop if you decide to go private 
wow TC looks like you got something cooking here. Hook me up with your paypal when your taking orders
@Gnat - "By taking his EA out into a public forum, TC is ruining his chances of trading his own creation sucessfully!"
Do you really think that? Damn, maybe you, me and TC should open up a new private forum
Even if a few thousand people would run through this thread and would give the EA a go on a live account, the amount of money would not be enough to make the slightest impresison on the market abd/or the price. With the amounts that a whole army of retail traders and semi-profeesionals could come up with, we would not be able to really move or dry up anything. It may only be, that the retail brokers, if we do not spread between them, but would all go to one, would use measures to wear out the system - but that may take some time and by that time we have moved on. But we will never drain the liquidity out of this market by trading mini or standard lots each. the paypal donation button is on my website home page
id like to clear something up
i dont want money from ppl that cant afford it
i also dont want money if im not making you money
