Yes. Almost. I mean, the one with "achab" as suffix has only one difference about what to display (MMTU an PP), the rest is identical.

Others are identical too.

that;s actually the one I am testing on 4 different accts with different leverage and setups. Am having some difficulty getting it to trade at all on 2 though. (see previoous post with image)

Look at the arrows: until you wil not have those crosses, your EA will open no trade.

It happened it to me too, and I asked my broker to add those crosses. Anyway, a "full demo" is better. Just ask and get your 5 missing crosses.

oops didn't see this.....Thanks

Here is a screenshot of another platform that isn't trading. I see that 1 cross shows zero....but they do show data. It's just at zero when I took the shot. Hasn't traded.

Hit F3. Then edit the appropriate global variable.

whats the leverage ? how you derived these settings ? after testing or some randomly chosen numbers ? MMTU 2.0 is very very high. Most people here use 0.4

Can you help me figure out why I have to set the MMTU at 50 in order to get the lot siz to .65 on this demo???
<grin> I'm baffled. The demo was originally opened at $100k. I contacted the broker and changed the balance to $2500. I believe that the EA is still using MMTU based on the $100k balance.
Anybody?

you cannot expect the others to teach you from a,b,c and 1+1 = 2, can you?

Actually.... I can. It is a forum and forums are great for learning a lot of things. Thanks for your input.

If anyone knows how to reset the global parameter that handles this... I am all ears.
Thanks in advance...

As you can see from my post count I'm a newbie here. I have considered downloading and testing some of these EAs. I've held off because I know I would have several questions about their operation.

This thread and some others using MCs basics leave me with the impression that they only want very advanced users.

I participate in many Internet Forums. I always try to help when I can, and I have learned a great deal on different topics from the sharing and interaction. I thought that's what Forums are all about!

So I, and probably many others, will just continue to sit on the sidelines here.

Yes, your settings are the ones I was planning on testing.
Hi TheMaxx,

as you can see the test was negative; see how it has blown up (http://www.mt4i.com/users/achab-pc-ph6_01xr2/stats).

To be sure I restart it with the same settings and on the same computer. Here you have the new stats: http://www.mt4i.com/users/achab-pc-ph6_01xr3/stats.

Do you bet it will blow up too?

I guess we need a lower MMTU and PP then.

I know its a long thread but take some time to skim thru it. Many of your questions may be answered that way. If not ask away. But please at least make an effort to read up at least on the basics of how the phantoms operate. I dont mind answering questions but its frustrating if people come in and start asking questions that are answered in the first post. To be honest, I never used mt4 or even knew what an ea was until 4 months ago so I probably couldnt answer tech questions about mt4. Read the posts from metacoder,frazerd,roundrock and a few others that have posted from early on. And dont sit on the sidelines, grab some and test, thats how you learn and come up with your own ideas.

Hi, Achab, your tests are very comprehensive, and valuable to watch.

however, i have a personal opinion that i'm not sure if that might be useful to you.

take me for example, i imagine that i have 20000$ to trade a LIVE account with 1:200 leverage.
Will I trade it with high MMTU so that every position is 0.5 lot or 1 lot?
Probably not, because it is real money, i won't risk it.

but for demo, we'd like to test the risk and how "strong" the EA can perform, we give it starting lot size like 1 lot or 2 lots.

now you set up 10 such demo accounts to run for 1 yr.
at the end of this yr, 7 accounts get to 500%+, 3 accounts blowed up, and you are going to trade LIVE.

the key question: are you going to trade LIVE using similar lotsize?
if me, I'll not.

then, say, what about 1 or 2 accounts blowed up, and 8 or 9 accounts get 500% return? some might just go ahead trade LIVE it, but I might still not.

my point is that if it is impossible to use a setting in LIVE trading, it'll be much less meaningful to test it on demo. it'll be great that you can also add some conservative settings to test.

many thanks again! my 1 cent for discussion...

Hi Thorn and thanks for taking the time to help me....
I there isn't a global (it seems) to reset the MMTU variable. Here's the situation. When the demo was opened by the broker in question, he set the account balance for 100k. I emailed him to set it at 2500 which he did. I had mistakenly assumed that the EA would recognoize the new account balance (as if I had made a withdrawl). The Account was flat when the change was made but it still seemed to affect the parameter.
Any help you could afford me is appreciated.

Remove the EA. Clear all global variables. Put the EA on again .
