v1.09 should be the last version. There is 3 month on the ex4 supplied with the installer. Extended expiry date ex4 will get posted regularly on this thread.

Not quite sure if you are using v1.09 set files as EURAUD and EURCHF are not part that approved pair list.

Hi all

Once again, thanks for the good work on this EA.

The demo that I was running was mysteriously closed by Alpari, so here's a new one, running for 2 weeks:

All using the default .set files provided.

Will the EA still expire shortly? Are there future versions planned?

Hello getdown,

Are you still running this impressive ea on your mt4i link in your first post?
When I check that link it does not show any recent results.

Regards,
Jeff

I've been testing this EA on EU & GU M5 and EU and EJ M30 for a couple of months and I must say I'm very impressed with it's performance.

The earlier test was done on ActivTrades demo account but the account has expired and unfortunately, I don't have the stats. It was in profit though.

I have not set-up MTI4 but here is myfxbook link to the second round of testing on Alpari UK Demo since early Jul:

https://www.myfxbook.com/portfolio/a...sss-demo/40861

You'll need to go custom analaysis and select SSS_EJ&EU_M30 and SSS_GU&EU_M5 to filter out the non relevant trades as I also test another EA on the same account.

So far in a little over a month, the EA has gained over 50% running on v1.08 - all default preset file setting.

Will update to v1.09 and test the suggested pairs on this demo account.

Ok Im not going to say if this is a good or bad EA...all I know is there is no way seeing some of the results from other users Im going to use it....the draw down is wicked !

But no offence meant to the current users and also as its free and avalibale to anyone, should I wish to offend anyone either.

Check out the stats on "FokkerCharli's" post....seriously like Im going to let a system/EA draw down 1100 + pips....lol

Good Luck with your trading

Drawdown maximum is approx 15%

Some find this OK with conservative money management and some do not (usually scalping oriented traders with large lots!)

Slow and steady wins the race and I'm happy with 2% per week!

Hi Getdown

I see some trades take quite large losses. Is there anyway to limit them to say 100 pip loss? Has limiting stops been tested in the robot by any chance? if not i can start running some tests.

The key is the wins are greater than the losses. (large or small)

Hard SL has been tested; ATR and other types of exits currently in use have proven to be more stable/profitable in the long run.

Correct Money Management and leverage is the answer here.

Larger pip based losses are acceptable if the lots are small.

Feel free to test otherwise - I have done a massive amount of testing on this front and very clear/confident that current settings are optimal under wildly varying market conditions.

I am testing a few variables in your sepcified testing time period.. I will post up results as soon as completed 48hrs worth. Fingeres crossed

Otherwise, how has it been performing for you guys today?? I loaded SSS with the deafult ccy/timeframe sets. Its been a tough day for the bot today. Is this the same as what you guys are experiencing?

Ok cool. Im using it with Active trades. So results will be interesting. Switched it on properly at 5pm london time. Had a few tiny winners.. so good so far.. Are the standard scripts being used that were supplied in the zip on ost 1 for the specified CCYs and timeframes?

Do you guys leave on all week from sun eve till fri eve? Looks like i will need to get another few screens any excuse though

the trading times. should we use the default trading hours or change to local time?

I saw someone who also had a MT4i account who had a GBPJPY deal opened but mine said outside trading hours

Actually i have noticed that the EU M30 has different trading house to the EU M5. same on GJ.

Is this correct?

All trading hours in setting files have been optimized;

EURJPY M30 & M5 (and other pairs) have significantly different settings to leverage differing market conditions during various times throughout the day.

No need to change ANYTHING, the EA will detect your brokers offset from GMT and auto adjust trading time accordingly.
