Caillou, there are a lot of variables, such as how the market is moving, how many trades are open, whether your computer is slow or infested with viruses, the quality of your internet service provider, your modem, your router, etc. So yes I'm sure it's possible.
Open to new approaches.

Looking at the list provided here, http://forums.babypips.com/224843-post273.html, Uni-FX (UK) looks like a good choice. If anyone has any experience with them I would appreciate some feedback.
Hello People,
I sincerely hate to butt into the conversation here. However, I think those who are looking for a better broker should be advised to do their "due diligence".

There are several brokers (for example) who do not have a secure web page for their sign-up link. For me, that is a red flag. Most legitimate brokers that I'm aware of do at least, offer a secure sign-up link (and I'm not going to give my personal info without it).

Further, if you check the domain registration for Uni-fx....

Caillou, try manually open .01, .53, 1.77, etc. lot size on any pair, see if that's possible.
can't find min lot size on this broker's website.

i dont see any error check in the code, after OrderSend its better we check the error so that we know why it failed to place the order.

if (OrderSendResult <= 0) {
Print("OrderSend failed with error #",GetLastError());
}

add this line after

if (OrderSendResult > 0) MarkSymbolAdded(SymbolArray[i]);

hope this helps...

Thanks for your warning, TradeRunner. Here is an answer I received from Uni-FX when I inquired about an account;

We could axccept US clients and offer them 1/500 leverage in ECN
platform.
If you are interested please send us a copy of ID card to open 2
accounts in your name ready to funding.

Apparently they are not UK at all, even though their web page says they are a subsidiary of UNIFEX FINANCIAL GROUP LLP registered in England and Wales. 100forexbrokers.com has them listed as United Arab Emerites, which apparently is correct.

i am testing a idea to enter after a minimum drawdown so that my drawdown will be less. i may lose some good trades that result in profit before the minimum drawdown, thats ok for me. i can sacrifice some profits to achive less drawdown

example : i take add06_2, let the orders be generated, i dont send them to my broker, instead i hold them in EA and if and when the drawdown of these phantom-2-phantom trades reach my minimum level (configurable), say 3%. then i release my phantom-2-phantom orders and from that time on its same as the existing EA.

i dont want to confuse others by posting the EA here, but i will post my results if the idea works out well. i know i may miss some trades that reach profit before that 3%, but in my observation such trades are few and far between.

i may even stretch my profit percentage since i am getting some discount.

i will decide on this minimum darwdown level based on the reports posted here, i am leaning towards 3% to start with.

ignore this if its too compplicated. i understand several ppl like simple systems, including me

I just want to make it very clear that the taz versions step outside of the balanced hedge framework. If you still want to use them, it's your call.

I haven't seen anything that prohibits offshore trading. I believe that there is no law against it, YET. CFTC seems to be trying to stop it by getting the offshore brokers to cooperate with them. There are many offshore brokers who are cooperating and not allowing US clients, but there are still many who are still accepting us apparently.
If it can be made illegal for US citizens to trade in offshore accounts, then it won't really be the US of A any more.

After a few of us trading some of these EAs for a couple of years it might be hard finding a broker that allows EAs.
If there still a profits to be made by them, there will continued to be new broker that will turn and look the other way; when it comes to using EAs. Or even trade with broker with commission based - I think will be not too critical about EAs.

Copytool by then will evolved into something even more advanced; it can only assigned one acct to only trade eurjpy and another acct to trade only chfjpy for instance. but your overall equity in all your account will still increase - it would be harder for broker to detect, but all this might be easier said in theory...will see!

I thought brokers don't like scalping EA; those trades having duration shorter than 1hr,
metacoder's EA average around 12hr.

human: ingenuity, greed, pursuit of happiness will continued - keep on shuffling!

I just want to make it very clear that the taz versions step outside of the balanced hedge framework. If you still want to use them, it's your call.
I found my demo went into a sequeunce that was impossible to recover from with the Taz version 02. Since all the pairs went in one direction placing correct direction trades for 7 pairs and reversed direction trades for six of the other 7 pairs. Then the market completely moved back the other direction and left all the pairs (bar one) stranded. As a result the EA could never get out of the DD situation unless the market reversed back to the original direction.

So MC is right in that it moves outside the bounds of the hedge.

Larger lot sizes or a smaller percent target simply mask this situation for longer by getting you to your target percent more quickly. But I would imagine all combinations will get caught out as my demo did at some stage. (I shut it down with a 35% DD to restart with other versions).

I think the Taz version will work if it simply takes the trades over the +20 pip threshold (or what ever we set), but only for that direction - and no reverse direction trades for -20 pip threshold. In this way the EA will recover with the other side of the hedge if price action reverses. I can't remember if this variation has been built before....

This is an interesting idea. Invariably we go into some sort of DD each time pairs are opened up. I have never seen a sequence open up and go straight into profit. Obviously we have the initial negative situation of the spreads to overcome, but these aside there is almost always a level of DD associated to each equity pop that is often as large as the target percent (or bigger).

I would be keen to test a version like this roundrock. I would run it at an entry at -0.5% DD with a 0.5% normal target percent.

I you can post your version i would be keen to test it also.

Thanks
Tim
