@Tazmaan

I changed the buy logic to be the same (except in reverse) as the sell logic. The sell logic is what produced 5 or 6 successful sell trades from Sunday night. So I can only assume that it is the markets which are the issue.

So far for this week, 9 trades opened, 6 winners, one loser + 160 pips banked with 2 open trades - 50 pip drawdown.

I broke one of my personal rules and let two trades run over the weekend - one ended up winner - one a loser.

End result for the two plus weeks running the EA - + 830 pips with 2 orders open 50 pips underwater...

I assume you are talking about thg 1.6? If so, what chart timeframe do you happen to have it on? I didn't think it mattered much as the code looks at higher timeframes, but maybe it does.
Have been running 1.6 since 2/23, and as of right now I have 30 wins, 18 losers for a total of +17 pips.
Quite a difference from what you are reporting.

my feeling is that broker feed quality is very important. according to me, brokers are seriously different in EA's performance.

ibfx sucks for wide spread, however, its feeding seems more smooth, so it has HG 1.6 more trades than FXDD. both live accounts. this is just my guess.

how's your broker? there may be something wrong at your user end, how's your internet? modem? using wireless? or computer is slow?

Tazmaan,

I am indeed using IBFX on a 5 minute chart. My experience is the same as Charvo in that I have had demo accounts with two different vendors running at the same time with vastly different results. I use IBFX because their feed seems to be the most "stable" at least where I live.

Hope this helps...

On vps so can eliminate that type of problem. Is is on that crappy eglobal demo, so that's probably the issue I guess.
Figured if it was working for steve for his small test accounts, it would be ok to test on demo, but doesnt seem so.

Here is a longer term look at results for BoJ Opposites. I also had to restart the bot as it stopped working - and I didn't notice for over a week -

May possibly have legs long term ...
Cheers for posting that macman. Good stats. What version are you using?

I should have said that I'm using Steve's latest update from the beginning of February, (that's why my test started on 10th Feb ) and it's the standard version (i.e. not V1).

weird, charvo 1.6 and original HG 1.6 both consistently trades on IBFX live mini for me, just not exactly same as each other. 9 trades today (4~5 for each EA) 1 loss, 2 open now, the others win.

Latter part is now running V1 - earlier part was using the first version.

Nice findings!
So zoogle's 38 trades is for this week? only 3 days so far?

then zoogle EA is very good on ranging market! and should be sensitive to interest rate news or NFP. I guess?

Oops sorry for that rough post.

I got zip here Scoobs, using one of IBFX demo servers.
Even if I had put in the orders straight after you posted instead of an hour later, the price didnt reach the lowest of the sells at 135.569. Only got back up to 135.540 at 12:09am GMT then up to 135.480 at 01:30 & 01:42am GMT.

What were you basing the sell figures on at the time of your post(12:04am).

Those levels were based on where the price (cyrstal ball) would be if RSI(2) hit 80, 85, 90 and 95 levels.

Ah clever idea - once again .
If all 4 trades had been hit & TP'd, that would have been 300 pips (=$30 on my IBFX mini demo) from a price movement of 245pips (plus spread).
I thought about trailing some of the early trades, but 20 pips doesnt really give enough room for that.

Another oops - just spotted price movement would have been 24.5 pips plus spread, not 245+.
300 from 24.5 - now thats really pretty good leverage.

Hope I havent stuffed the logic somewhere. Time for zzzzds here

Really quiet around here right now?

Have run Grail 1.6 for about 2 weeks. Was up circa 3% and held the profits well. Now slightly negative after being whipsawed the last few days (can't really say it's the EA, but market conditions right now).

But no big losses, and that's important (esp. as it's not taking multiple trades a day, thus not churning one's account for brokers' "viewing pleasure", LOL).

15 winners / 11 losers, avg. winner 0.75 the size of avg. loser.
