Good Day traders,
Now that you have the psar indicator attached to your chart..You can see that not much of the currency has moved since last night. When this happened it means the market is slow and your patience is required. Market is very unpredictable sometimes it moves faster than you know, sometimes it moves like a snail. If the ccy pair will not move our EA will not trade.

Hello,
I started the EA (delight) shortly after open (7 hours ago) but all pairs show the WAITING message. According to trader101 this indicates that the EA is waiting for a trend.
I can not imagine that it takes so long and that for all pairs. Have the feeling that the new version is not working.
Does someone has the same experience or is the EA running (trading).

Antomi
If in doubt wether an EA is properly functioning or not: terminal button, experts and there any error would be reported. I see no error on the EA, so it is working. Of course this trick can be done with any EA.

No indicator is needed by the EA.

Extended 2 weeks as requested
Trader101, I hate to bother you but I am still waiting for the latest version of the EA which I requested last Friday from you as per your instructions. Hopefully you will have a version for a mini account! Thank you T101!

here is little of what I find important about the EA in the last 40 pages. maybe someone can add to this to make it more reliable.

did you try adding move SL to break even + spread or some little profit when we are +30 or 45 or appropriate amount for each pair according to TP used.
it is not good to see some winning trades turning to looser. or any idea about that.
I think I did see your EA ProfitProtection I am thinking about something similar included in this EA.
or this will stop us early and limit our profit!!!!

Mmmm, it seems that the EA delight has some difficulties.
Again another drawdown. We still have 2 days, so hopefully it will run to the right direction.

By the way, it is so silent here. Does everyone stare on to the charts and is speechless (eh, write-less)?

I check every now and then to see if there are any new updates.

This is the second week of large drawdowns. Honestly, Trader101's manual weekly tradings were more accurate than this EA.

Hopefully the new "Mother of all EA's" will be available for testing soon.

Yeah I miss the daily postings from Trader101 and agree that his calls were much more accurate than the EA seems to be.

Hey guys,

I'm surprised not to see any results from last week. Is the enthusiasm gone with the wind, or better to say with the draw down?

Anyhow I have attached an analysis covering the last week with interesting results.

Who else is still in the game and testing?

Have a great weekend,

Antomi

I really appreciate the report that Antomi attached in there and is a good teaching tool, I think I have read it 10 times and I am very impressed with such presentation. I would like to address some of the questions that has been raised by the report in an attempt to perhaps influence the trading of the EA(Delight).

In my previous forward demo test of this EA, I came to the analysis that the most profitable trading times for the EA is outlined below:
Sunday ---- Start before market open
Monday ---- Disable 9:00 AM to 5:00 pm (NY Time)
Enable 5:01 PM
Tuesday --- Disable 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Enable 5:01 PM
Friday ----Disable/Close 12:00Noon
Disable means clicking the Expert Advisor toggle to Red. Smiley face replaced by X.
All time are NY time. Time mentioned are recommendation and is in no way a guideline for trading. Trading times is according to trader’s discretion.

Also I attached in this posting the first week results of SuperEA gathered +2944 pips however only +$649.76 because of the staggered lot size selection. But despite the loses in Delight and Ultimate the Super EA manage to generate 2,944 pips in a flat market. AS I have mentioned I opened a $9,000 demo account for this testing with North Finance. I would hopefully integrate the trading logic that the SuperEA have to the Delight and Ultimate, because of the Super EA ability to work through hard, flat, and choppy market. If there are any of you who wants to be a part of this team to develop this, i would appreciate the help, only seasoned coders please E-mail me.
Thanks

Hi trader101,
Thanks for the nice words.
It realy helped me to understand what is going on with the brokers, news and of course with the EA.
I still hope that it will recover.

Concerning your new EA, sounds very promising but we have to test it very carefully.
Unfortunately I'm not a coder but can support you in testing and analyzing.

Concerning your mentioned timing (switching the EA on/off) I have some questions but will raise them next week, it's alread midnight here in Gemany and time to get some sleep.

Should we close any open trades when we disable the EA?

NO.. the Open Trades will be kept open. It is only disable for making new trades at those times.

Many thanks for the great analisis, i have provided my report direct to T101, but will post it later for all to see, i also found that MIG's upgrades broke the stream of thought, in conclusion i would suggest not to trade an EA live with MIG.
