Elovv says, "...IBFX has not had a single loser with this EA for 12 months. But only 60 trades with ver 5a."

That averages 5 trades a month. Even with that, is the end-of-year profit higher than others that trade a lot more often, as far as you can determine?

You have both brokers with a offset=2. Is that correct?
one test is with Build 226 the other with 225? Just checking!
Hi cuddlebum

No, I've done it again, what a prat I am, forex.com should be 0 offset!

Could you run it again with Build 226 and 0 offset and then post it for us?

Lol, at least you found the mistake.

I am still backtesting with IBFX, it takes ages.

Sorry about this strange question, but I'm freaking out with the IBFX platform. It keeps telling that DLL's are disabled. To enable tick the checkbox in tools, oprtions, expert advisors.
But they are enabled! I dont know what's wrong...

I haven't had a loser trading live with v5a and I'm going to continue using this version of the EA. If it ain't broke why fix it? Last night TDFX had no trades. I love the results. Geoff, thank you for the EA and Taiykixz, thank you for helping me with figuring out the start time and GMT offset.
If you're scared get a dog.

I think IBFX are a very good brooker for small livetrade because they have mini cent account. I have never had any problem with them.

For bigger money I have earlier used ODL because the UK bank guarantee.
If I´m going to trade this EA with bigger money maybee I will test another brooker than IBFX because of spread and the fact that UK have bank guarantee, maybee Alpari UK.

But its a fact that IBFX has not have a singel looser with this EA for 12 months. But only 60 trades with ver 5a.

For now I´m live IBFX mini and demo Alpari and IBFX.

My...
What are the Inputs you are using for IBFX? Thanks

We've talked about it before, but Alpari's time standard changes twice a year.
Any back test using Alpari vs forex.com would have some time differences.

See if I can figure out why Alpari take more trades than IBFX. Use ver5a, but if I miss second trade change to ver6 or maybee 7 if I can optimize it for IBFX.

Happy trading

Thanks Elovv! Don't try to compare IBFX with Alpari brokers. IBFX does not change 2 times per year. IBFX is GMT all year! They do not change!
Very different results! Optimize IBFX only!!

You are right! We can only optimize and test brookers with the same time all year
Thanks!
But I can try to figure out why Alpari takes more trades than IBFX

I agree. You are really making a contribution to this thread! Thanks! If you know how to optimize IBFX and share those inputs, I for one would appreciate it! And, I'm sure others would too!
Again, Thanks!!
