Hi,
to make life easy I attach an Excel file. With this it is very easy to calculate the performance in PIPS and $. With this you can also create a performance graph.
Additionally you will find a risk managment calculator.
Enjoy!

Someone asked for the Slope Direction Line indicator. Also attached.
Thanks Antomi
That is a very useful excell form for recording your performance

slow trading.. just keeping head over water. it think it will move later around asian open. Because this is the Swap Payoff Day. It will definitely moved toward the Long if the pair is swap positive.

mig demo running ultimate is 83 pips in profit on closed trades, but down around 200 on open trades, only been running for 24hrs so far.

MT4 demo runing ultimate is 15pips in profit on closed, but down 175 on open trades.

so now we move into the second half of the week will we win again?

Yes, it was a boring market all day today. Only you would know Best is good for market like today, since we don't know the algorism coded. Cheers,

Yes that is a definite yes.. The only opponent of our EA is the ranging market because of erratic swings. But since today is a swap payoff day, the volume will increase as we move towards the Asian Open, then the ultimate will hit it.

Hey Trader,

I setup a FXDD demo account at home last night with 15 cp's. Every chart has the Ultimate EA running. Since last night, it's only taken 4 trades on 2 pairs. It's closed a U/Chf and G/U trade with +60 and +100 pips. There are 2 trades open U/Chf, which just opened about 5 minutes ago +2 pips and a G/U trade that's +30 pips. Any reason why the EA isn't trading any other pairs?

Because its not time to enter yet. The EA have some criteria to enter a trade. if it doesnt trade meaning the criteria/logic is not met. Can you imagine if it traded you since lunch you could be losing a lot of money now. because the market was ranging.

Hello,
We were beaten bad yesterday. But we are recovering now. My IBF Ultimate just turn positive right now. I know we still have 3 days to go including today. I am positive we will make it thru the week.

I tried changing the 0.1 lotsize to 0.01; because I made my balance in the demo account something I might actually be able to afford risking if/when I go live, but it didn't take any trades for hours. As soon as I switched to 0.1 again deals started coming.
Is this a function ofthe EA or does Alpari not allow 0.01 lots in the demos?

As it is now I only have enough margin for 4-6 simultaneous trades, that said the balance is almost double what it was yesterday morning.

The lotsize is not limited by the EA. perhaps it is the broker itself. To check go not normal trading with the broker and enter the lotsize and if the window is darken means they dont accept the lot size.

The Ultimate as of now is just trying to get even. But i dont think it was the EA fault. it was really difficult to trade yesterday. Inspite of this I am very happy with the Ultimate in its handling of the news report. A few hours ago the Canadidan Core retail sales and have you notice that the Ultimate was right there ready to ride and Ride it did. Collected 60 pips and about to collect another 60. I really would like to see how it will be doing the NFP next week.. is it next week already.. the NFP??

Thanks again. Are there any MT4 brokers that allow 0.01 lotsizes that you know of and that also execute trades automatically? I read somewhere that Alpari uses manual execution of trades for the live accounts which seems a bit silly.
