I am with IBFX and I dont think there are min or max on transferring one account to another. I do believe you have to start a new account with 250 dollars. If you open a second account I think you can transfer any sum you want from an existing IBFX account. Check with them to make sure.

5M account produced 17 winning trades in 4 days for an average of 2.05 on each winning trade group. That was at .05 per lot.

sorry, but I'm all confused about what pairs are being talked about and what ea's are being used on what and ..... is it the 5min chart or the 1 hr chart.

I'm happily trading the 35x20 on audnzd live with beautiful gains.
Yes and you will continue to do so. I am only looking for a little bit more range than that one. If the spreads ever go back to normal I like that EA a lot but as you may have read earlier I am expecting some volatility with all the big news that will come out ahead. The car companies, some insurance companies, and Obama's first 100 days I believe will cause the markets to be more volatile than normal. My second desire was to trade bigger lots and that meant fewer levels. However, the 35x20 will work great as long as the Aud/nzd stays in its 200 pip range all the time. I dont see any of these news stories affecting this pair that much but you never know. Anyway, I have an account with 30+ bucks in it and I want to see if I can develop an EA that uses little margin. I think I have found it. Please post your results of the 35x20 and keep us updated. Thank you.

Yes and No. On Mondays and Tuesdays I would use a higher and lower it later in the week when price was more volatile. I also would use higher lots Jpy session to USA open. .05 is pretty safe with 500 dollars though. Just to show the difference I am using .05 with my 30 dollar account and .15 with my 160 account with the new system 30x20 5m and 1H. It uses much less margin than the 35x20 but you are trading both ways so of course you will use more. It comes down to what you are comfortable with. Even though I believe the 35x20 is a great and profitable system it will only work with the Aud/Nzd. I am trying to expand my currencies use so I will be experimenting with some other numbers. It is good you keep us posted on how well it is working.

If this new ea will work with standard accounts I have very good news for everyone. The broker http://www.investtechfx.com/ offers a 5 pip spread for Aud/Nzd. Please be aware the smallest lot size they offer is .10 which is $1 per pip. For this reason I have not really gave them much thought previously. From what I have heard they are a true ecn broker that is highly regulated in Canada.

I would not open an account with this broker. There are to many questions that remain about this broker. If you use this broker beware of them, use at your own risk.

Jeff

My weekly performance.
Used standard settings just as it is on AUD/NZD 1H. mini-Account.
Could have been a little more aggressive.

I'm sorry, but I'm confused again. Kind of a habit with me.
There's the 30X20 buy sell Ea.ex4 and now there's a 5M 30X20 zip which also contains a 30X20 buy sell Ea.ex4

5m stands for 5 min TF, right?

Are they the same? If not please can some one clarify....

  • Jan 11, 2009 4:20pm Jan 11, 2009 4:20pm
Maybe they just use the same name which would be conflicting if you want to use both on the same MT4. I've copied the M5 one into another copy of my original Metatrader. So I run 2 instances of MT4 one with M5 and one with 1H. Any recommendations on the settings?

The one with the 5M takes its signals off of the 5M chart and a 120MA. It starts 50 pips above and 40 pips below the MA. It is set at .10 lots and has a 150 stop loss 1.8 multiplication. The yellow line is the stop loss line. The 5M will do more trades than the 1H. On my live trading I am using 4 levels but this one contains 5 levels. The reason is I started using only 28 dollars at .05 so I want to use fewer levels to keep from margining out.

The other one takes its signals off of the 1H chart and a 40 MA. It starts 80 pips above and 70 pips below the MA. It is set at .10 lots and has a 150 stop loss 1.8 multiplication. The first red line is the last reentry and the second red line is the stop loss. The 5M one will do more trades. We are comparing the two right now. Both are set at .10 lots, you can change them to what you want. I hope this clears up some confusion.

These are different from the ones placed on the first post, first page, which buy and sell both directions at the same time. These are the same EAs I am testing on live accounts right now.
