Hi Geoff

Downloaded the latest versions. v4a, v8, v4.
no trades today on demo or live.
But I did set up v8 for EU and again got the error #0 as it tried to trade. Traded manually for 25 pips.
Is this issue fixable or should I change brokers?

Cheers
Please remind me who is your broker?

I notice on their website

"aggregate prices from a number of liquidity providers"

are they STP?

I also notice from the screenshots that they are 4 digit brokers, is this correct?

You need to download the larger database for your history centre.

In MT4 go to Tools, Options, History Centre and click on GBPUSD and download, this should give you more data for the tester to use.

I'm watching so far for 2 weeks this EA on the brokers: Alpari UK, Forex,com, MBTrading, TDFx (all demo) for the pairs: EU, GU and AU,GJ,EJ - as expected no trade with any of them ! (but it might be a trade with EU ?) - see my post in the v8 thread.

I looked at Kelly but with no or very few losses the numbers don't make sense!
