I would suggest to report all results in PIPS and not in $.
Thereby it is much easier to compare the results.

UPDATE
PIPs Collected so far:
Ultimate: NF =361 , IBF = 440
Delight : NF = 280 , IBF = 438
Im almost at my goal already .. Expectation is 500-600
T101 I seem to have a different scenario than you have. I'm using interbank (demo) and using the Ultimate EA. I am nowhere near the pips you have collected. 2 trades have closed (aud/usd and gbp/jpy for 60 pips each). Also I noticed that after the gby/jpy closed for its 60 pip profit it opened immediately for another order. The aud/usd opened another order one hour later after closing for its 60 pip profit. I'm attaching the trade journal that is still open. Interbank has just shut down the demo accounts to reboot although my scenario as described above was before that. I have the EA on the hourly charts and I do not shut my computer down. So it seems something is wrong here since your IBF is at 440. What do you think?

Pipruler,
It's strange that your first 8 pairs opened all at the same time.
By the way, what is your time?

Suggestion for all:
Please report also your time (EST) because many brokers are using a different time base.

OK - I've been running the Ultimate on a North Finance demo account for almost 7 hours and so far, no trades? Have I turned something off?

By the way, I don't have a happy face on the top right corner. It's a sad face.

I think that is for live account. Anyways our code avoided that problem .. no effect. Will still work
OK. Thanks Trader101.

One more question. Do these EAs run as designed, without being interrupted by exiting positions opened manually (by other method ... no EA)? Or should all such positions be closed first and the account made flat?

Maybe you haven't checked "allow live trading" in the property's window of EA?

Sorry Antomi I just updated my time for FF so I was an hour out. So my time is 3:19 pm now Pacific time (or 6:17 Eastern time). Interbank uses GMT time.

Ultimate with IBF -- Realized Profit that is 400 pips
T101 - it is interesting to note that your gbp/jpy took a 100 pip profit whereas mine only took a 60 pip profit. Were we supposed to change the TP from 60 to 100 in the EA for this pair? Also, your time entries are different from mine even though we are both using interbankfx. I should think that they would be the same or very close to the same. I think I'll delete the Ultimate EA and reload it again to see what happens.

It is possible that all of them will be opened at the same time. Those pairs are trending when the EA was installed. Mine is diff because i installed the EA before the market opened that means the opening time are staggered.

You are using an old version .. the new version is set at 100 all the JPY cross pairs. Download the new one discard the old one. Yeah that explain it. A note to every one. please listen to me when i say discard the old one. That creates confusion. When i say discard .. delete it do not just move it around.

Here are the pair that are 100 tp:

if (Symbol()=="USDJPY" || Symbol()=="AUDJPY" || Symbol()=="EURJPY" ||
Symbol() == "GBPCHF" || Symbol() == "GBPJPY" || Symbol()== "GBPUSD" )
tp = 100;
The rest are jsut 60 TP
Cut from, the code

If you intend to quit trading or liquidate your position or you reached your goal already. First you have to clik the Expert advisor tab on top to RED. then only you start closing your trades. Do not close your trades before cliking that EA tab to red. If you forget to dot that, the EA will reopen a trade everytime you close a trade.

Hi Trader101 - yeah, I have a smiley face now. That seems to work.

By the way, the Ultimate EA you just posted still shows as 60 pips TP for all trades. Does anyone else have the same result?

The jpy cross pairs are hardcoded in the EA for 100 pips. So, you can't see it, but it's there.
