Hi Geoff

And first of all thanks for sharing your EA with us all.

Interestingly, my results on Alpari UK demo are;

For version camvicoo -
tp1 = 22
tp2 = 50
tp3 = 50

and the same for camvicoo V2, same as above.
Only 122 pips! Tut tut!

My TP2 hit the TSL for some reason but TP1 & TP2 went all the way!

Every broker has different data feed and spread of course, it would be much better if there were some consistency!

Oh there is! Our EA, we all made profit!

I'm using IBFX. When i run the test i get the following error:

"TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit

Any suggestions, anyone?

Hi there, please, pretty please. Could someone confirm where should I download mq4 and ex4 files? My guess is ex to experts, mq to scripts, but would like to confirm. Thanks again.

This is the brokers data that is not very good, you need to go into Options, History Centre and download the Metaquotes database.

Other people with other brokers have reported that there was no trade yesterday, have you tried a back test?

Chart shows that average daily range of 244 has been exceeded.
Does this mean no trade later or is it just informational?

Geoff,

5% in the last month. Alot of people would KILL to get that kind of return these days on their investments. Great Job. Now if we can find an EA for 5% a month on a few more pairs, WE'D BE RICH!! Congrats and Thank You for sharing.

Hi Geoff,

Just thought I'd check in with a follow-up on what I've learned about my MM problems. I get more normal results with my FXDD backtest when I add 100 to the risk percent. Anything less than 100 gives very slow lot increases with equity growth. If I use say 130, 140 etc. my results look more normal with the lots increasing with the equity. Must have something to do with 4 digits vs 5 digits messing with the code.

I was just thinking that we could likely squeeze out a few more pips on the trades if you could add a jumping stop setup similar to the one in Steve Hopwoods trade manager bot.

Cheers
GG
