Show your best EA

i think it is real.. cause Trk said only real account.. i think he has reach his 50k target..


Congrats to you akiva!

1) It doesn't matter what Trk says.... people will be posting from demo accounts because they don't have the guts to trade real money; it's only a matter of time. I'm interested in what kind of risk Akiva is exposing the account to in order to get those gains.

2) It's way too early to congratulate anything.

Thanks TRK for your reply . I do have ea that run on real account at ibfx too but the result is not so impressive.

azam575,
I'm sorry to hear that your EA is not performing well on IBFX.
Are you using your own EA or do you use one that you bought?

I hope you manage to find a suitable broker for your EA.

- To be honest: no s/l and i risk all the account for one trade...to reach 50k from 20k, you know for sure what kind of risk it is...
- This is a real (live) account.
- My account didn't blown up
- My EA can perform well because the money management part is done manually. If i give it to a newbie, he will blow his account for sure !

Many thanks.

Trk, could you pm the name of the EA your are using and where I can get it. Thanks.

LMFAO!!!!!

Personally I have been waiting for the freeloaders to come sniffing around this thread. Honestly, I am surprised it took this long!

hey, it isn't exactly a freeload.... especially if it is commercial and the guy will have to pay for it.

the worst ones are people that ask to test it... those need to automatically forward to the recycling bin.

Hey, traderjai inhi, Trk said that the EA that he was using cannot be published in the forum because it is a commercial EA, and that if we are interested in it to PM him. Since I have fewer that 15 posts in FF, I cannot PM anyone 'till then. Since I am interested in the commercial EA, which I know that I will have to pay for, I only asked him to PM me with the details to purchase, etc. Of course, that is if it is ok with you. Thanks.

traderjai inhi,
is that all you come here to see?

Many people are eceptic about Ea`s i think this thread proof for those of you that some ea`s are quite profitable and of corse some will say " ye ye but in long term they wont be profitable" as long as ppl have system that make them constent money in long term why then ea`s can`t.Ea is just automated system most trader has stirict rules that follow like ea ... i also think some ea`s not those that are for sale are profitable but those ea`s are own by ppl that i`m sure won`t share them

Well, I just received my posting privileges for this site a few minutes ago and although there are some wonderful threads that I will comment on, this thread will be my first post because it's exactly the kind of thread, if it remains pure, that people interested in bot's and forex want to know about.

I bought a commercial EA a while ago and it was just a bad experience. But over the last few months I have been doing some intensive studying and with the help of a coder, we have made an EA which we have hopes for. Time will tell obviously, but my point of this post is THANKS for creating a thread that gives me something to compare (in the sense of whether bots can be successful in forex) to what I'm doing. An EA is just what every trading GURU keeps saying is best to do, to have a system and stick to it without emotion. What can do that better than an bot?

The idea to just post results is great. I would never post my EA here or anywhere else, but WHEN (I hope!) the EA does well over time, I will post results here simply to encourage others, as this thread has in it's short life already done for me.

Thanks again and I will be continuing to read this thread.

discretionary traders will argue this (i am not in that boat)

Tdion....my ears are burning - did you summon me??

Each to their own but you will see from the markets reaction to completely external, unpredictable and uncontrollable influences (such as Gustav) as to why some degree of discretion is always necessary. Just my opinion.

EA can be really great but i'm doing better without...

Raghu,
I am glad that you benefited from this thread. I agree that EA's can be a profitable and a viable way of trading, and thats what I had hoped this thread will be able to substantiate.
And so far I must admit , despite the naysayers and skeptics opinions (which they are entirely entitled to ) , I think this thread is doing its job only because
those posting have stuck to live accounts.

I hope to see some good positive equity curve posts from you in the not too distant future.

Trk

Thanks Trk. Yes, your right, the purity is what makes this thread good. It is a limited thread in terms of discussion, but thats the beauty, it's not about telling others methods or giving things away, each to their own on that. The main thing (for me anyway) is here we can just study whether EA's do, or do not, give real results based on real money. This info alone is invaluable.

Even the nay-sayers have only mentioned a "possible" disagreement with whether fully automated trading is possible. If the worst negative presented from the omnipresent and deeply respected leader of negativeshttp://www.forexfactory.com/customav...atar4434_2.gif is only a possible disagreement, then there is hope for botshttp://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon7.gif.


The point Putto makes about discretion is valid because it's true some/most people trade with emotion. So my answer to whether manual discretion is needed is: Any good trading method has already factored in chaos. So in an automated version, this discretion is built into the bot. A bot is not expected to be some living being, it is only as good or bad as how it's programing is. It carries out a set of instructions. If those instructions are well thought out by design, then it will bear the fruit of success.

Personaly, (and this is only my opinion) I would rather view trading based on the hard wired fight or flight reactions of other people's emotions and not my own. This is simply because humans have been doing the same things throughout the ages and in that sense, given a certain type of event, the reaction will usually be the same. Factor in the uncertainty, and over the long term (which is how I judge a method) the results will come.

Well, I'm sure some will have their say on these points, we all know who . I won't debate the topic of theory any more as this thread is for the reality of automated trading and proof of results, so lets keeps seeing the results! I hope to add mine in due course, but at least I can take heart from others here until then.

As MASTER YODA said, "Do or do not, there is no try"

This one looks interesting, backtests seems good, so i decided to forward-test it, so far 3 days of trading now, too little time period to judge it, anyway looks not soo bad!

I believe that the best EAs are the ones that where never discussed but only delivering the money to the pockets of the programmer.

If you think your EA is good, join the EA programming contest which will be up soon - this is held usually at the last quarter of the year.

This is your chance to put *REAL* money where your mouth is.
