Dude, there is 5-digits broker you are using on that Screen Shot

5-digits after .(dot)

And on 4-digit broker that EA don't work. And there is more 4-digit brokers

than 5 out there.

Ben, anyways, it is possible to fix that problem, so EA also works on 4-digit

brokers?

Thanks.

I dont see why it doesnt work, 0.0015 lot is exactly the same as 0.00150 lot, that is the reason i coded it that way.

Why not test it out on a 5 digit broker, then if you like it and want to trade it live it is not a good idea to use my version on real money, it was simply a rough version to test if my logic worked, Matt has programmed a very solid version which can be trusted on a live account, unlike my rough version.

I know it doesn't work on 4 digit broker, I've known that for a long time. So I started a test on 5 and the results there have been very good so far. Maybe if I am so impressed then I would also open an account on a 5 digit broker. As a rule though I do not use EA on live account (so far. ..) so I simply enjoy testing on demo account.

LOL! Jeez, I thought you wanted someone to share results. . .

I dunno how this EA does what it does but it has been impressive so far.

Nice job Ben.

haha thanks, its progressed nicely, the original 40x40 settings were too aggressive and I see it running into trouble, but im liking the 150x150 multi 1 and only allow 3 levels deep, it hits stops more often, but they aint account breakers like on my original 40x40 idea

I wish my crystal ball worked that well all of the time, the Dubai news today cause the JPY to plummet and the EA was long, hoping for a reversal......It didn't reverse soon enough.

The 150x150, one account hit sl and bailed for a limited loss, the other rode out the spike.
When I used the reverse entry to false(true on Matt's version) it milked the spike for profit.

For those of you who cant get The_EA to work, click this http://www.alpari.co.uk/files/site_u...MT4_set_up.exe
get their platform, it works on this, you can test it and see if you like it.
If you do like it, it is not a good idea to use my version on a live account, the coding is rough and it is too risky, Matt has written a rock solid version, for the safety of your account, get that version.

My latest settings, for what I feel are the most likely to make profit are
TakeProfit 0.05
StopLoss 0.0025
InitialStopLoss 0.045
Multiplier 1
Lotsize 0.01
pips 0.01
ReverseSignal false
DPips 0.015
DTakeProfit 0.015
DMultiplier 1
ExtraOrders 2

for jpy pairs, move the decimal 2 places to the left

Yup, the backtester is useless. I've said it about 5 times in the thread. Thanks for reading.......

sorry mate. I have read the bits you said that the back tester is useless (but I meant you were saying that back tests were poor!!). My bad.

Good job with the EA!

So, this EA is a simpler version of the crazy pyramid. Correct? However, on your fxbook page, what EA is 'all pairs reverse entry'?

yes it is basically my beta before matt took it on, all my tests are on cp ea but can be replicated with The_EA if you dont turn your machine off

Hey Ben.. i am gonna sound a bit dumb again, so apologies in advance.

The £1200 is your 'The EA', right? So which is the 'grail reverse entry' EA?

They are ALL on Matt's verision, but Matt's version is replicating what I post earlier(the previous page).
I am only using reverse entry now. The trend appears to be my friend.

My current The EA test results.

Last week I changed d-pips from default 40x40 to 80x80. I won't know for a while how that will work out but so far the results are looking good.

I'm new to EA'a and just trying some different ones out now. How different is using an fx EA from a high frequency trader set up at a hedge fund. I've seen some of the more sophisticated tools used by hedge funds in equities but am not sure if the same tools would be available for Forex?
