after that right click in market data window>> sets >> basket14

EURUSD
GBPUSD
USDJPY
USDCHF
AUDUSD
GBPCHF
GBPJPY
NZDUSD
EURCHF
EURGBP
CHFJPY
AUDJPY

NZDJPY

GBPCHF should be at ideal spread of 4.0 >> just my opinion.

Classic error, it appears you are using a standard account with a very small balance (for a standard account).

Understand that 0.01 lots on a standard account is not like 0.01 on a mini account.

Just for clarification, MC, are you using a IBFX mini account with 50:1 leverage and writing the EAs for that set up? I think that is the case and many brokers do not even offer a "mini" account as defined by IBFX where 1 pip equals 1 cent. So, those who do not have the mini account capability should be reducing the MaxMarginToUse setting accordingly on all these EAs. Just because a broker offers 2 decimal place pricing, that does not equate to a mini account. And, as MC said, $2000 is a pretty small account if you are not on a IBFX type mini account.

I am at the beach this week (Fall break from school) with kids and grand kids. That's why I've been so quiet on the thread. You guys probably thought I died or something.

Here is an extract of email received this week from GoMarkets:

Following our email last week regarding the impact of the new CFTC regulations on residents of the United States of America we would like to clarify the situation and process:


We will no longer be able to accept any new applications from residents of the United States of America US residents with open positions will be required to close all trades by October 18th. We understand that this is not always practical and are somewhat flexible on this date. If you would like to arrange some additional time to finalise your trading with GO Markets, please email [email protected] with your request and we will do our best to assist you


Funds remaining on your GO Markets account will need to withdrawn at a time convenient to you. Please be aware that we can only process withdrawals by bank to bank transfer. In order to request your funds, please complete the withdrawal form available here and send it back to [email protected] or by fax on +61396021440


All accounts held by US residents will be set as 'read-only' once trades are finalised. This means that you can continue to login to your account and view trading history and print statements where required END QUOTE

So no more trading in Australia. I guess I'll be moving back to IBFX.

Hi all,

the ea Ph14_WrongwayGravy_taz_01_fx made 2 cycles with 1.2% up. And the third cycle is in a drawdown of 6%. Bad...

and it has open 5 position on the same parity. And at the minimum 2 orders on the same parity.

@ Fredgold. If you want to try this, you have to change the magic number when you attach the EA the first time at the chart. The second EA you attach to the same chart needs a different number. Ones this is done, you don't need to change it, unless you re-attach one of the EA's.

No, it seems to me that problem is with some brokers (or with brokers with higher spreads?). I started yesterday 2 new demos with 10000USD and default settings. Please see diferrent results:

i have 10 demoaccounts-by activtrades
the works different on all accounts-
has been working differently only if we use different times of day-
you always get different values
broker and all are different - therefore you can never be the same trades have not possible-but you can test whether a system working under all market conditions and positive.

Fred, the magic number is used by the EA to keep track of the trades, etc, belonging to that EA. There is no need to ever change a magic number unless you are using 2 or more EAs on the same account. In that case each EA must have a unique magic number so that each EA can control it's own trades.

Vienna is running 2 EAs on the same account and thus needs 2 different magic numbers.
