So Mikhail, if the later versions are the same as Beta 3, should I use V1.3 which has the fixes?

Thanks,

Mikhail,

Ok, so here are the settings that I am using that are somewhat variable....

mincross....I am keeping this at the 3.0 that you have...is that a good setting?

Use MAstoploss - I do not want to use that, have set it at false

Trailing Stop = 1 - kept that there...do not want trailing stop at this time...so is that correct?

Martingale = false - do not want to use it at this time

MM = false - do not want to use Money Management at this time.

So, is that correct?

Thanks,

BP

Manually closed out the USDJPY trade for +12. So, 12 for 12, +178 pips.

The EA still has me in 4 trades right now. I'm very worried about the EURUSD trade (as it is still a big loser right now) and now the newest is a GBPUSD trade, but I have them going in opposite directions. So, as always, we'll see what happens. I'd rather take the -50 on the GBPUSD as it is half the lots of the EURUSD trade. I need some "DOLLAR POWER" tomorrow to make it happen.

Right now:
USDCAD is EVEN
USDCHF is -8
EURUSD is -30
GBPUSD is -15

Hey Sundevil...I hear ya. The eurusd turned around and came in to make some money. I would have been stopped out had it not been for the new SL of 50...we shall see.

Anyway...I must have been closed out of the CAD cause of the different stop loss amount...so I am out of that trade for a loss of 20.

I am still in:

USDCHF -19
GBPUSD -22

I was entered into these 2 trades today as well....

AUDUSD -13
EURCHF -6

So, in the negatives...but maybe they will turn around. I am now using V1.3.

Thanks guys,

BP

Well, my fear were realized and got STOMPED out on the EUR trade for -50...and it was a big one in terms of lot size.

On the positive side, the GBPUSD trade closed for +15. The other two are still open and both are currently positive.

So, 13 out of 14 and +143 pips with two still open.

Hi Mikhail, thanks for all your work on the EAs. I started forward testing 1.3. These are the results so far with 6 pairs, eurusd, gbpusd, usdjpy, usdcad, cadusd, usdchf:

So far not great but it's still way too early to tell,

The infamous EURUSD (-50) trade: Hard to see, but it starts at the "LOW" end on the right half of the screen. You can just make out the little red arrow inbetween the big drop and the subsequent long rise back up.

Could anyone please give me a little help as I am new to EA? I'm using Pouria EA V-1.3 on MT4 but I can't get the system to trade on my demo account of 5k. I checked the "Allow Live Trading" box in the Live Trading area already. But, I'm not getting the system to trade on my demo account. Can anyone please give me some hint? Thanks.

Yes, I've already enabled it and see a green icon on the chart. But still it's not working. I don't know what else I am missing as I look everywhere but couldn't find the reason. I've also reinstall everything on a second computer and got the same result.

that pretty strange.did you the smile icon at the top of your right hand side?maybe your EA is working but just haven't trigger any position yet because no entry signal.

second thing u can do is uninstall your metatrader, delete the folder inside Program Files as well and re-install it.

Well, one thing I have definitely learned is that I simply don't trust MetaTrader as a platform.

1: Got up this morning and found that my balance is much less than last night, even though the "account history" is showing no new trades closed. Hmmmm.

2: BOTH of my USDCAD and USDCHF trades have completely disappeared...even though they both should have hit my TP for +15 each. Hmmmm.

3: The EA entered me into a GBPUSD sell @ 9492. Now, it should have hit my TP at 9477 as the charts show that it got as low as 9476. Well, it didn't close the trade at 9477 and instead just closed it for -50. Hmmmm.

So, who has a better set of charts out there to use? Ones which I can add this EA to?

Sundevil,

I like the IBFX platform for MT4. It has not been bad for me. You can demo it...is that who you are using now?

It says that my server is MIG-Demo. How do I switch to IBFX? I just downloaded the MT4 platform from the metatrader site.

Very frustrating as I'm showing good results with the EA but now the platform is starting to screw with things it shouldn't.

I'm also considering moving all of my TP's to +10. It seems that even in the one BIG loser, that it would have hit +10 early and never would have gone negative.
