Weekly Open EA

Week ending 2008-08-15 (GBP/USD Live).

Please not that I did turn this off for a day because it was taking such a hit and when I turned it back on last night I downed the lots from 0.06 to 0.01 which is why the pips/dollars will not match up. Live account was on an InterbankFX account but some with other brokers had better results. Please refer to previous posts to see how there were differences in price between live and demo this week. That is most certainly the cause for such different results.

Previously I did note that Daily start of the week price for demo/live did not match but Weekly charts match on both live and demo accounts. Using this price may have yielded more similar results between live and demo and may be an option I would add to the EA (Choice to use Daily or Weekly charts).

I will be trading this live again next week but with 0.01 lots instead of 0.06 and will be cutting out the USD/CAD and USD/CHF pairs.

Here are my results.

My plan for next week is adding a new broker and go live again with GBP/USD only at Alpari.
the testing settings will be 30/15/30, 40/20/40, 50/25/50, 60/30/60, 70/35/70 and 80/40/80.

I don't understand how there could be such a discrepency in pip totals between demo and live?? A few pips different start of the week doesn't make sense??

I demo'd EUR/USD and GBP/USD on IBFX (second week was last week). Sure, the pairs had a lil trouble early on, but both finished the week off with positive results in the end!

How could the live version be sooo off??!!?

perhaps there is more resources. bandwidth in regards to the real money accounts, even a millisecond could result in a few pips difference?

I am in the process of testing this strategy with a number of different take profit levels and OrderDistance levels. Anyone trading live should always be careful. I am live this week on the EUR/USD and GBP/USD using 0.01 lots on an IBFX account.

I will post my progress in a day or two.

Thanks again,
Matt

I understand and agree that there should be a differance of a few pips between demo vs live, but that doesn't explain why such a dramatic differance in total pip profit/loss?

You would think a system that deals with 50pip stops and 50-100pip take profits wouldn't be THAT bothered with just a few pips off here and there!??

For a Tuesday, I would say there is still hope for a positive week.

I have a couple EA's on one account, is there any software that can tally the results of the weekly EA by magic number?

Not at the moment but that would be a nice idea for an EA. It wouldn't take to much for me to write it and you'd just have to attach it to a chart and give it the magic number.

I think I'll do that.
Thanks.
