Hey sundevil...

Wouldn't be a great idea to open a special thread for all of us who are "ASU Sundevil's fans"
I bet it'll get more views than the best system here in FF in a couple of days...what do you think uh?
Now I know I need money out of forex for 2 reasons: 1. move to ARZ and 2nd to fill out a divorce application...

GO SUNDEVILS!!!!
LOL! Have you been to devilsdigest.com? Check it out for ASU athletics forums. On there I'm DenverDevil.

As for Pouria, it just closed out my EURJPY trade for +15.
JPY is even right now and CAD is slightly negative.

EA dropped me in a EURJPY trade that went bust (-50), so I did a little checking.

So far the EA has placed me in 69 trades. 55 have been positive which equates to a 79.7% winning percentage and a total of +125 pips overall.

Now, that means that I have had 14 losses. SEVEN of those losses (50%) come from either the EURUSD or the EURJPY. If I was to take out the EUR pairs my numbers change for the better. I'd be 34 for 41 (82.9% winners) and +160 pips overall.

My guess is that EUR pairs will not fair well with this EA strategy. Why? I have no idea. EURUSD has lost 4 times (11 for 15, -35 pips) and the EURJPY has lost 3 times (10 for 13, 0 pips).

When this demo account is up I will be removing the EUR pairs and looking at adding two different ones for the next go around.

A little more analysis. Since the pip amounts change as the account balance does, I thought I'd look at how much MONEY each pair has generated with this EA.

GBPUSD = + $5700
USDJPY = + $1802.03
USDCHF = + $39.28

the negative pairs

EURJPY = - $10.80
USDCAD = - $432.72
EURUSD = - $1680

Basically the GBP reigns supreme and the EUR sucks with this EA. I'm thinking about switching out the EURUSD for the GBPJPY, to see what that pair does. I also need to look at two new pairs to replace the EJ and CAD. Any ideas?

EA hit another (EURJPY) for +15.

So, since 2/16, the EA is 71 for 85 (83.5%) and the account is up 22.6%.

I'm contemplating adjusting the TP up five to +20 and the SL down ten to -40. I need to go back and look to see how that would have effected past trades, but this appears to be a few tweaks away from a very good system.

Yes, beta3. I took out the EURUSD and put in GBPJPY. I think that is the only change thus far, but the EURUSD was really sucking bad. This system really needs currencies that "move" in order to really work. The EURUSD was just too weak in its moves to be effective.

Right now the EA has me in USDCAD and GBPUSD trades. We'll see how those work out.

I can say that the EURJPY EA trades have really gone off big time the last two days. It opened and closed another one last night for +15. Since the week began, the EA has gone 5 for 5 in the EURJPY for +75 pips.

Right now the EA is 74 for 88 (84.1%) and the demo account is up 27% since 2/16.

The USDCAD trade is still active (I may dump that currency as it is also a slow mover), and the EA dropped me into a GBPUSD trade that is slightly negative as well.

Confirmed entry is set to true. I am using MIG. I had terrible results on Interbank. The only problem with MIG is that trades continue to dissapear in my "account history".

Last night I can see that the EA dropped me into "buys" on the GBPJPY, EURJPY and USDJPY that all closed for +20. It also dropped me into a USDCHF buy that went -40. None of those four are showing up in my "account history", so it's difficult to track.

I also just, as of last night, adjusted my TP to +20 and my SL to -40. I want to see how much of a difference that makes. The

Well, the EA demo just reached 100 closed trades. It started on 2/16/07 and went 83 for 100 (83% winners). The $50,000 demo account is now up 26.2% at $63,097.37.

I can't wait to see how it does over the next 100. Getting ready to try it with real money very soon. A few more tweaks to go.

LOL, now you have to let me know who you are on DD!

So far the change in TP has been good with all four of the new trades hitting +20. I also think I figured out why MIG was "losing" some of my trades. For some reason it was looking at "today" as tomorrow and the trades wouldn't show up in my account history. All seems to be fixed now in that regard.

Thank you 1Sundevil for your explanation.Mine was set to false so far and perhaps bad result has been because of that.
now I'll make a forward test on it again with new setting.
Hope you have good result on real like demo.please inform us about EA real performance.

I'm using beta3. My TP is set to +20 on most, but I thin k it's still +15 on the USDCHF and USDCAD because those currencies don't move that much. My SL is -40 on all.

The EA had another good night while I was sleeping. Dropped me into four trades CAD, 2 x CHF, and GBPUSD. All closed at their TP. Account is now up 35.6% since 2/16.

Right now the EA has me in a JPY (buy) and CAD (sell). Both are negative right now.

1Sundevil, did you test ( I mean forward test) default setting based on original method?
If yes, which broker you used it’s platform? and what was it’s result on the whole?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.
For the most part this whole test is using the default setting. I did change the SL to -50 early on as many of us felt that it needed room to "breath" in case it went against us initially. I had a few trades that came within ONE pip of going -50 before turning around to hit my TP. I've now adjusted my SL to -40 and my TP to +20 in order to see if I can better my results.

I'm using a MIG demo account. I also opened an Interbank demo and got absolutely horrible results. Why the difference? I have no idea.

Here's a graph that shows what the EA has done on MIG since I started it on 2/16:
