theres a good example of how tester is different
see how the trades opened forming a line
in real life they open close to the same spot
increasing the chance of hitting target alot
Well it lost 30% of the account in 2 months
I've left it running to see how long it takes to recover.


Meanwhile I'll grab the v32 and give that a whirl.

Cheers.

HI trendchaser

I am still running v9.1 with great results.

Great work.

One think; don't use too much time on the back tester.
I find it useless when you use more than one time frame and also if you take small take profit.

9.1 fan club grows!
V9.1 had 37 open trades last night, with a 2% negative float. Woke up
and found them all closed, for a small profit. Onwards and upwards with
a clean slate.

I installed v32 last night and had total of 8 trades. Two are still open and the rest closed. on gbp/jpy 5m chart. 6 closed in positive cash and two open are still negative.

Is this amount of trades in a 12 hr period typical?
  • #1,369
  • Mar 24, 2008 7:23am Mar 24, 2008 7:23am
These last two open trades are currently down just over 100 pips.

Definitely typical, at least with v9.1. Depending on the range, you
can see the EA put on some pretty big hedges.

I started V32 as soon as I saw it was available and it's doing ok - see pic (Can't seem to upload a statement to this thread, htm extensions not allowed?).

However, it's building up hefty log files, as it prints out the equity and balance on every tick. Is there any way to stop it doing that?

TC are you sure that 0.01 lots is right for an IBFX mini? Meaning only $1 per 100 pips profit?

Great job - Thanks

TC,

I do not know what the leverage would have to do with the EA...I am using 0.01 lotsize per 1K. I would never use all of the leverage or operate with a margin call for a stop loss! I am not a backtester...I am a forward tester. I do not even know how to run a backtest or even what you folks are talking about with tick tests and history and such...

IBFX let me have 6 live accounts with 400:1 over a period of several years. This is hard to get. If all of their clients wanted 400:1 it affects their capital requirement needed for the CFTC/NFA requirements. IBFX compliance does not like their clients to have many accounts as they could be trading OPM and IBFX would need to know about that. I do not trade OPM, I just test a lot of EA's live with a safe size of nanolots. I must say that this Super series of EA's are some of the best, but the safe size of nanolots does not apply to this series, as you could blow up with nanolots (but I have never even been near that...YET!).

i dont know what opm means

ok at 200 leverage it requires margin of 50 cents per 0.01 lots

at 400 it requires 25 cents
thats realy only diference
iv found some settings that go on 4ever, and only problem is you run outa margin n end up with perfect hedge
just thought if i had 400 leverage i could go twice as far with my margin
