I have the same problem with ODL, they expire after 30 days but it takes less than 1 minute to open a new account. I prefere ODL for the E/U because they are GMT 0 and the pivots are very exact.

I'm angry - I'm testing and testing here ... for nothing ? ... and all what I get is nothing because the demo doesn't work ??? Any better broker with really working demo acc ? Who can propose a better one ?

Bad things - so here are the results of the two accounts - one with buy only and the other with sell only ????? The .set file is in the folder.
because of those "?????" I'm guessing it's not your intention of using only long or only short orders - isn't it?

if you pull up the expert-settings window look for the "common" tab. there you can switch between long, short and long/short orders.

@judokamak - fxspeedster has a quit other problem here descibed !

@fxspeedster ! YES I have similar problems with Alpari Demo (UK) too ! Very strange things are going on - using the same set with the SAME EA 06 for two different accounts I get absolutly different results ?????? That's unbelievable. I'm in doubt: can't use anymore Alpari ? I think it is a broker we can trust ?

So I can even post the f....g results.
Very strange indeed. On Alpari UK I am not getting any trades whatsoever since I started this on the demo account 4 days ago now. No error messages in the Experts tab. All indicators look ok on the chart. The platform also resides on a different machine. However, it seems to trade at FXDD and IBFX fine. If you guys can give us any recommendation, we would definitely appreciate it. Alpari UK is a great broker for real trading. Good spreads, reputable (can withdraw $$) and reasonable spreads. This is why I think it would be great to run it here for the long run. Thanks in advance for any help.
If it backtests good run it live!

all the broker problems (testing with demo acc) you are describing here - it seems some other people have too ? anybody else ? The brokers don't like the THV EA ? They are scared - right ! This THV method / working EA - can clean out their pockets

No, no - I checked expert-settings window - I have of course the right option "Long&Short" switched ON ! There must be another reason for these strange behavior !

Brokers of MT4 have the capability to turn off Expert Trading for any particular EA via their backoffice settings. This is not an advertised setting of the MT4 backoffice but it is rather a plugin. The way they do it is that the backoffice is looking for keywords like for ex. THV, Derivative, PipLeader etc. As soon as there is a match, the backoffice can turn off Expert Trading for that account - demo or real. The only way to overcome this is to rename the EA to the name of your choice and see if it will be allowed to trade. But make sure you open a new demo account since the account may be flagged already or worse your IP may be in the ban bin.
I am a bit skeptical of Alpari UK doing this since the EA is not really something they should be scared of. It is not a scalper making 1000 trades a day with profit of 1-2 pips each. They would be scared of that for sure.. but so far TVH places good trades, but also loses so it is very balanced. On a good day it may be ahead and on a bad day it may be a bit behind. Hard to tell yet how it is going to perform long term.. This is why we are forward testing, right?
If it backtests good run it live!

I'm testing THV EA on Alpri UK demo account for three weeks now and it works just fine. It must be something in your settings that doesn't allow ea to take trades. Did you check if you have DLL imports and live trading turned on?

I am also having bigtime problems testing any EA on MBT's MT4 platform. Most of the time, it does not trigger any trades which I see are triggered by the same EA on other broker's MT4 platform. Besides, MBT's MT4 platform is a bigtime RAM/CPU hog - it takes upto 10 times more memory/cpu than other broker's MT4 platform running same charts and EA. My computer comes to a screeching halt when I use MBT's MT4. I have a live account with MBT and I need to test my EA to be profitable on its platform, but so far, it has been a one frustrating experience...
maybe this will help,

MBTrading on demo account seems to work for me.Trading 24/7. Spreads are much lower and executions are great so far. Also I don't experience your problems of resource hogging. See attachments!

ODL demo works fine with the EA and like Cobra says it only takes a minute to open another account after each 30 day period. Makes me laugh when ppl say the brokers are worried about an EA or trader for that matter which are profitable, fact is if the EA or trader make money consistantly then it must be to the brokers advantage in the long run, they will be going with those trades for sure.

adrazz,
If you don't mind I'd like to ask you what was the problem with the EA not trading at Alpari since I am encountering the same issue. I have basically the identical setup that I have on 2 other demo accounts at IBFX and FXDD (where trading is ok) on Alpari but no trades at all for 3 days since I set it up. Can you or someone else shed some light? Alpari is 3/5 decimals instead of 2/4.. Thank you.
Now that is a good question, have not got a clue, so I tweaked a bit here and there then it started trading.

This is d statement for the trades in the past two days. If anyone is interested in screen shots I'll be happy to paste them. No negative trades in this choppy market..good stuff!

Cheers

I made the proposed changes, but EA stoped trading at all. Also I changed FastTrixZeroLevel to false, please see my attached files. Any ideas why id doesn't trade? On the screen shot I marked places with a red lines where trades were supposed to occur.

I was able to resolve the no-trades issue and not the EA trades at Alpari as well as IBFX, ODL and FXDD. Here is my solution:
1. First make sure the platform is not running.
2. Erase mqlcache.dat from the experts directory
3. Run platform
4. Open the charts for the symbols you want TVH to trade
5. Load the posted _06 template on each chart.
6. Make sure you have the same Magic Number for all your TVH traded symbols (like 60000)
7. Only have TVH trade under the platform since other well known EAs especially MegaDroid are known to interfere with other EAs under same platform.
8. Trading should start.

At least this process resolved the issue for me and I hope it will resolve it for you as well.
If it backtests good run it live!

I was wondering if I have the lock pips option set up ok? I do have breakeven option all at 0 and was hoping to use Lock Pips to lock in at least 5 pips. I have lock pips set at 5 lockatr multi set at 0 and atr period also at zero so it would only use the lock pips setting of 5. I have a visible stop loss of 100.The trade is beyond the 5 pips but I do not see any journal entry or change in hidden sl to reflect that the locks pips option is actually set?
Here is a screenshot and one of the set files.The other sets are same but with different trading hours.

Also this week I began week testing with the mt4 platform now offered by fxsolutions.I do have an account with them that I traded manually so I wanted to see how the ea would work.My main concern was I really do like using mini lots which they do not support.I decided to go back to ibfx last night.I set up three pairs one for each session and set the hours to trade for each session so as to trade the pairs during what I think is best for that pair.I have eur/usd for euro session, usd/jpy for asian session and gbp/usd for us session.Only started this last night so have not been able to test the set files fully yet.I did change one parameter on all from take partial profit to just one profit.Not sure which is better to have?
For overnight performance I made a profit of 38.96.
Hope all have a nice weekend!
