It's a live account, not demo. Yeah, I'm trying my best not to blame IBFX, but it gets so annoying sometimes I just need to blame them ...
The demo spread is the same as the live account is what he is getting out.

IBFX is the only big broker (one I dont think will go out of business) that offers everything you need for testing. Penny trades, high leverage etc. Once you are willing to go ten cent or higher trades there are options but penny trades I believe they are it. Even though I hate the wider pip spreads it forces me to develop my EAs around them so if you ever go to another broker that has smaller spreads, it means my EAs will work even better. I have developed, waiting for final testing, an alternative that still is profitable but can handle a wider range. If it passes a couple more days of testing I will post it this weekend. It use the philosophy of the 60x90 but in a little different way.

I checked out their office, and I don't think it will go out of business anytime soon ... most of the executive employees there are driving high end cars ...

Somehow I can't push myself to using the AUD/CAD.
Why? Because AUD/NZD is not as prone to Oil News etc.
You will see AUD/CAD leaving the MAs very often.

My bank just cleared my Deposit to IBFX.

It does take a lot more micro managing and listening to oil with aud/cad. I'm using it on 5min charts and just being very protactive closing down level 4 or level 5 trades if they don't look good and whatnot.

This system just isn't about turning on the autopilot and sitting back on a beach somewhere.

What setting u are using ? U are making 133 trades in 1 week trading only 2 pairs. I don't think it's possible using the default setting.

All entry and whatnot setting are defaults, 30x20 1.6x 6 max trades with 200 pip stoploss. I trade very little lot size are 1 hour charts for aud/nzd and aud/cad with higher lot sizes on the 5 minute charts.

Can you take a screen shot of something becoz I really cannot see it is possible to reach 133 trades in 1 week. I think it's not even 10 trades for last week. It's seem like mission impossible to reach 133 trades in 1 week with default setting. Btw, what's your default setting ? Maybe I am looking at "other" default setting.

Thank you.

I'll take a screenshot of anything you want, what do you want a screenshot of? I'm just using the setting from the first time the BUY/Sell EA was released and then whenever the 5 min EA was released. I'm not into the code side of things so I have no idea what that is. I don't open up the coding thing, I'd prolly screw it up.

The attached are my 1 hr templates for a/n and a/c as well as the 5 min template I use.

some of the money managment and lot size varies though.

The signal bars is the indicator i use for my spread.

I think u got the 5 min attachment wrong. It suppose to be AC ? Thanks for your post. Looking at the chart, i still cannot figure out how it's able to make 133 trade. I'll do some test with the default setting.

Thanks again.

Most of my EAs earlier have been large TP with small entrances. This time I use smaller TP and larger entrances. When price trends in one direction it will TP every 20 pips, as it travels it will only reenter every 50 thereby giving it a much wider range and smaller losses if you ever take them. This also seems to help compensate for the larger spreads we have been hit with. In three days using .50 2.00 and 8.00 it only went to the third level 1 time. It also made 1500 dollars during that time. The one I have in this folder however is .05, .20, .80 which would have been 150 dollars. Much more reasonable. The other was way too high lot size but it was fun to watch. Anyway here it is and have fun. The levels start at .05 and go only 3 levels deep. This EA goes both directions so you must put the sell EA on one chart and the buy EA on the other. I have no template to go with it.
