My EA Monthly Results

The maximum drawdown since 1999, it is not the average drawdown. I did write MAXIMUM and the average profit/loss per month is +250~300 which means the average is positive. The maximum monthly loss was around -200 over 12*9 + 5= 113 months.
So ... you have been using this since 1999? Because if you have not been using it since then all your data is based on a completely inaccurate test base.

MT4 is NOT the most reliable back test software.

Well good luck.....I am done wasting my time here..

Unfortunately there is very little flesh to the bone! We have no clue about the EA and the system it trades, we also do not have the EA to test it ourselves and let our more or less existent expertise flow into that.

What I can definitley say is that your RDD (Relative Drawdown) is far to high for anything that would be set free on my live accouts so far.

So please let us have a little bit more - no mq4 needed, but maybe a ex4 file to see how your EA trades and what it really does? Screenshot of that trade action would be enough for many/some of us to evaluate the worth or the weakness of the trading concept.

All in all I am not satisfied with the information and I can for a few moments grasp, why you already got an infraction.

Please give us something here!

Ciao!

You should of put this post up in a year. Maybe then, there would be a reasnoble amount of evidence to see if it is succesful. Based on what you have shown, I would not touch this ea.

Having played with EAs in the past I have several that can be optimised to any period for huge successes but long term I am not willing to live with the drawdowns.

I've been using this EA on my live account since 10/04/2008 which is one month ago. The back test results, the demo results and the live account results were identical, with an additional -1.5 slippage per trade on the live account.

I am really sorry, this thread is not intended to give any details about the EA but only the results.

About the RDD, as you may know the number of lots you trade increase/decrease with your account equity.

Maximum risk is set on 1% of the account so it is normal to see higher drawdown when your equity is high but the maximum in pips is 450. So it is a very conservative and safe EA.

It is very simple and small code maybe about 100 lines.

I've been there, but when you say a profitable and safe EA it would mean it is consistent and profitable in any year.

OK, the EA is simple and the max risk is pretty low. I know about the RDD as I am constantly dealing with Ea tests. A DD of 450 pips seems to be a mechanical nightmare come true, so I think there should be improvements to see the "wrong trades" being taken care of in a timely fashion.

And if you start writing about an EA that will probably be for sale or rent in a short period of time, you are truely violating the rules of this forum and this could finally lead to your long term ban.

So maybe you could at least tell us whether it is a trendfollower, a martingale system, a fire and forget approach, or whatever! It is impossible to give your equity curves any credibility, if you keep basic information from the users here!

Greetz!

C'mon guys;

Don't you remember what it felt like when you thought You had Cracked it?

Full of exuberance and anticipation.

Only issue I see is that it appears to be Glory be to Me thread.

Anyway. Good luck with that & I hope you keep learning.
