Yes as you are aware I prefer forward tests and trust that sort of test exclusively BUT I understand what you are saying about the time factor required.
So I hope your EA produces live results for you the way it does in back tests.
Lets hope this thread is around in a year or so , so you can post youe live forward test.

all the best for your EA!

Trk, there is a particular reason you change broker?
I'm ready to go live and I have been using this 2 brokers on my demos accounts... any tips if one is better/reliable/honest then the other will be appreciated!

thx
dj
I am sorry for taking long to reply, I must have missed your post for a while there.

I moved brokers because of obvious stop hunting...many people will deny this sort of thing goes on but have a look at the chart I posted in my other thread here : http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=149921

Its all the proof I needed...
I have always wanted an ECN that has MT4 but because of the freeze capabilities, broker induced slippage etc. this was only a dream....until
Now MBT offer their feed through MT4 , so although they are slightly more expensive , I never have to worry about things like what you see on my posted chart.

The only other broker I have had personally experienced no problems with were Alpari...they seemed good as well but I speak under correction as I had limited dealings with them.

Also you broker choice might be influenced by whether you are a EA trader or manual.

but didn't you said that you moved from FxPro to IBFX?
wasn't IBFX the 'bad' one?

yes I was with FxPro and then moved to IBFX that's when I experienced that problem ,its then I realized I couldn't really move anywhere cos they all pretty much bucket shops and what I was looking for (a ECN through MT4) was not available at the time...but now it is...
you can have MB Trading's feed through MT4...so guess where I am headed?

But keep in mind that MB Trading is more expensive than other brokers...but they don't mess with your stops etc.

Nice Thread - My 2 Cents. (This is a report from a system that allows traders to autotrade the generated signals). Will update performance here every couple weeks. 20K initial deposit. Up 9+% in about 1.5 weeks.

Sorry that I posted my backtest TRK, looks like I opened pandoras box.

People please read the first post, this is meant for forward results, not backtests [yes I did it too, bad me]. I totally agree with TRK, if you don't know how to do backtestests you will get wrong results or curve fitting.

At least tell us if you are trading the systems you are showing in live account or are these just plain baktests (which won't tell much).

So here is my initial one month old smallish test account (yes it's real money) for the EA. Not too bad to be honest - quite in line with the tests as it's supposed to be.

I felt a little bit obliged to do that because I posted the backtests and opened the pandoras box for other people to post backtests so now people -post the live results as well too

ps. the chart includes one $60 loss "discretionary" trade I took at the beginning of the curve - no more discretionary trades on this account.

To Akiva1234 Hi dude.I'm really stunned with the live result you have posted here.It has made my mind keep thinking and wishing that if I could have the chance as you. If you don't mind, can you please tell me what EA have you used to gain such a remarkable profit (through PM). Appreciate it very much... Thanks

- 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.
You say you use an EA..so far so good...I just donīt understand when you say you risk the hole account in one trade and then you say your EA is good but the MM is done manually....if you do your MM manually what is the function of your EA?? And if you risk all your account in one trade, what kind of "Money MANAGEMENT" is this?? It sounds like pure gambling to me. http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

Hmm...

Can you top 189 Billion?

Backtest, it, curve fit it, optimize it, do whatever you can to top 189 billion.
Come on....this hole thing with the EAīs is funny...I canīt believe that this "holly Grails" also work in real accounts, if you really got some EA that make Billions of dollars in real account, why arenīt you doing some good things like helping people who really needs it around the world or even selling your Super EA for a special price???..bla bla bla...thatīs all. By the way if you are the new Richard Dennis howcome have the world never heard about you???

Thatīs my opinion. http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

You obviously lack humor.

I purposely designed that EA to be best curve fit, so if anyone else posts a backtest, saying that their EA is the greatest I can guarantee that my EA trumps that with a far superior backtest (6 months, $10,000 to $189 billion). Does it work well in forward trading? Yes. Does it work as well as the backtest? Of course not.

You're more than welcome to try and shoot me down RedNose. But before making any accusations against me, I suggest you take a look around and see what I've contributed to this forum. What have you done?

Every one of your posts as I've seen it are either in gratitude to Cobra for THV, or asking questions which I usually see from newbies.

Lighten up.

Oh yes Iīm a newbie youīre right, thatīs why I read a lot of posts and iīm also curious,thatīs why I ask a lot of questions...Thank you for answering the one that I asked You.
So if I did right understood your EA does not work with real money right?

Thatīs ok....So the real meaning and pourpose is the "programming aspekt" and not trading it selfs...


I thought the meaning of a EA was automatic trading in order to make money....


And yes I thank Cobra for his very good system and pretty informative exchange of information. My target is making money and I appreciate exchanging information that could be usefull for me.


So, have a nice day.

Hi I thought it would be interesting to see how many people are actually using EA's to trade and what sort of success they are having, I don't trade EA's solely but I do have a live account that trades only with an EA and its doing well so far.

The settings and trade plan for it seemed sound so I put it on its own live account, so it would not effect the results of my manual system I use.

I wont mention the name of the EA because its a commercially bought one, but if you want to know then PM me with your email and Ill fill you in on its details.

I'd...
Hi Trk

Can u please send PM to me as I'd like to know exactly the EA that u use

Thanks a lots

The purpose of my submission is not to show the EA which would make anyone the most money. That's silly. The purpose of that EA is to show what could have happened. As Trk and I lightly discussed awhile back, optimization techniques can be used to try and predict the short term future. Tdion has done some work in that area already. I'm waiting to see what his success will be like there. I personally am working on eliminating the human aspect in my trading.

The other purpose is to show how easily a backtest can be manipulated. Look at any commercial system's website and I will guarantee you that 99% of them show a backtest.

And for the record: An EA's only purpose is to automate aspects of trading. That does not mean it will always make money as you have probably found out by now.
