well,

to give more food for thought some more parameters:
yesterday evening the spread was 2.5 pips same as now (Alpari uk classic live).

I uploaded my history, I received 90% modelling quality but I only got 13.618.633 ticks modelled right now with 186 trades taken. This compared to 13.670.358 ticks modelled yesterday evening with 190 trades and 13.771.182 yesterday afternoon with 192 trades taken.

So, the thing is about massaging the history, correct?
Certainly looks like it!

Hi Haishang.

I've got the same yesterday on my Alpari Uk-demo.
I did V16 back test and after few minutes I lost all test datafile.

Mac.
This morning I get some data back which I lost yesterday. In the meantime again at 190 winning trades. So the curve is now like an S with lower magnitutes.....first 192 then 190, 186, now 190.....This seems to be very strange especially as I do think that asking Alpari for any official statement would bring close to zero in terms of clarification......

Does this mean backtesting results are even more limited in terms of their validity as we already thought?

The tester tells you it's 90% quality. Think about it for a moment...

The tester will not give you 100% accuracy to live enviornment. There are going to be some inconsistencies. Do the math on your "missing data"...with a 10% margin of error...

I think you're worried about nothing.

Hello!

I have a suggestion for Geoff and Piptician for the next version of this brill EA.

There has been some talk of people changing the Magic Number, as well as the comment field in the EA settings, which is a good idea. I saw one one other EA on FF (one of Steve Hopwood's, I think) that would not work at all if these options were not changed from the default. This isn't hard to code, and may well be worthwhile as the robot becomes more and more popular.

Just my 2p!

Cheerio

I have Alpari US and it traded last night funny UK didn't
I also run FXDD which did not but I went manual

What I've been doing is if 1 ea fires off and the other doesn't I go manual on the one that didn't

in my opinion Alpari does far better then Fxdd Still experimenting and will most likely go 100% Alpari US

I would suggest doing so this ea was written for Alpari

Hi wsndbd,

no worries about your english plse.....the ea was not made to perform during the height of the financial crises but only afterwards.
So all very early backtests will disappoint you. However and you see this at the evergrowing number of followers this ea is truly a gem!

I have been trading the New York session and taking trades when the alert tells me to. Maybe because the market was going up I got lucky. What do you think SKY?
Gerry, I'm not sure I understand, when you referring to the

GEO manual system what do you mean by that? I don't have any alerts other

than at 23 GMT. What system you are talking about? That .pdf file

on page 1?

No trades on FXDD or ATC, both live accounts. All conditions were met so do not understand why they were not triggered! Went manual on FXDD and just squeaked out 20 pips total on three contracts in probably two hours. Terrible, but did make profit so can not complain. Surely need this EA to work.

With such a strong trend I expected to see some trades this night. Nothing on Alpari and FXpro with v16. Strange...
I got trades on Alpari UK last night . Bought at 1.51860 and got profits of 11, 49 and 39 with a o.1 size.

For the first time ever, I also got trades on FXCM UK as well. Got in at 1.51866 and profits of 22, 51, 80.

Not sure why everyone else did not get trades.

Thank you to Geoff , Piptician and everyone else for your generous contribution.

Hi SKy. This is the EA coded by SASHASAN that I have been using. No GMT offset but it has an alert when the fractals are lined up. Alert says when to buy or sell.

Past three days results:
Demo = FX Open
Live = ATC (FXCM)

SimpleH1_GBPUSD_EAv9 Demo
2 trades Monday = both winners
0 trades Tues
2 trades Wed = both winners

Camvcvoo2a Demo
0 trades Mon
0 trades Tues
0 trades Wed

Tokyo_GBPUSD_H1_v16 Demo and Live
0 trades Mon
0 trades Tues
0 trades Wed

It appears that the SimpleH1_GBPUSD_EAv9 is the only one working for me. Tonight I will switch it over to my live ATC account and closely monitor its performance.

Hi Sahasan. Here is my chart showing a few of the trades using GEOFF"s manual system. I don't know how to send it to you in a PM.

Gerry...how are your results lately using the manual system?
