I am no guru.
I am no Profi.

I cam across this EA in another FX website. It opens up 10s of trades in qa very short time. On DEMO and it was wonderful but....

Losing trades ate up all the profits.

Any suggestions or editions to to the EA that could factor in a stop loss?

It was designed originally for the 5mins TF.

Thanks for your time and inputs.

If the EA worked it would not be for sale or free. If you "could" make 100 pips a day with that EA you would be a millionaire in 3 months. I say it's unlikely

i disagree with you, if you could make 100 pips a day, you would be a "billionaire" in 3 months. lol

With a 100:1 leverage and a $1000 account. You can double your account each day. Given 3 months, you have at least 60 trading days. So you would have $1000*2^60 after 3 months. That's a lot of money.

By looking at this example, i can say with confidence that no such EA exists. Nor can you find an EA that would give you such high consistent profit on a daily basis.
I only found the EA on a Forex website and thought I d share it on FF.

Have played with a set file taking tp at 10 pips but, the losses also buiöd up.
Had thought some one can tinker with the logic to improve on the logic.
Escape and Ilan are at MQL4. I would run them and everything else only on different demos, never live and I would completely ignore the profit lure.
this ea makes 17 consecutive plus trades in a row then one losing one because of ( NO STOPLOSS) could any one please code this ea just for simple stop loss
i have been a silent reader of all the great coders of ff
thank tyou for your kind attention

Gary, I really don't like to destroy someone's hope and illusion but honestly, the sooner you wake up, the better for you. This EA won't make you money. Markets are not that simple. The EA takes profitable trades until it misses on the direction, the pair turns on a dime so the EA can't even set its trailing stop and runs away. Unfortunately, this happens more often than one might wish and hope for. No matter what stop you'll set, pips lost will exceed pips made. Most EAs with much more sophisticated trade logic than this one have similar behavior.

Check it yourself, here is your EA with a stop loss setting, and a few tests on recent cable with 50, 100, 200 and 500 pips stop.

I'd strongly advise you to be VERY aversed to everything that looks "too good to be true" in the forex world. Especially avoid all the martingale-based "holy grails"; they seem to make you money day by day, hour after hour, but in reality they are hidden losers determined to blow your account one day.

edit: just looked at the code and the EA is hard coded to take the price and MA values off M5 TF so it doesn't matter on which TF you actually run it. It does the following: it sells if a M5 candle crosess SMA(6) and buys if a M5 candle crosses SMA(7). Then it trails the stop if it makes 5 pips (if long) or 10 pips (if short) profit. That's all. Wish trading was so easy ;-)

Exactly. So many people keep getting on baits.
Hi enzomarcon,
welcome to the forum.
It is more important to figure out how much you are risking to make 100 pips. If you risk less, yes it is logical to give it a try..
Hello Akara,

The number of trades is a necessary but not a sufficient condition to the successful testing of your EA. What you should prefer is to trade your system through changing market configurations i.e. different volatility conditions. It will take more time but will tell you exactly what you can expect from your EA in a trending, bursting or range-bound market.

Also, try to distance yourself from the daily pip goal. It will take your attention away from the critical features that you need to work on. Before making your system a winner, try to not make it a loser. Take it from there and then optimize it as much as you can within the three different market configs that I cited above. Just beware of overfitting when backtesting.
To all of you guys who are apparently in search of a holy grail EA.
Even with my modest experience I can assure you there is no such thing.
It is not to say there aren't people making money trading automatically. I am sure there are plenty of them. But trading using EAs if it is to succeed (by which I mean - to be able to bring consistent profits over a long period of time) requires at least as much market knowledge and trading experience as manual trading.

Right on the money, IMO. One of the best posts I've read in the Rookie forum for a long time.

And then, even after you have the market knowledge and trading experience, you must reduce your strategy to a mechanical approximation, so that it can be coded as programmable rules.
I'll just chime in and add my vote to the last 2 posts. There is no single EA that will work consistently for you, making money on a daily basis completely hands-off.

Automated trading can definitely be an element of a successful trading setup, but statistical edges come and go. A "holy grail" EA may work for a while but will stop working eventually and then what will you do?

Every day new people come to this site after downloading MetaTrader and learning how to use the platform. Many of these noobs think that "trading" is the same thing as "searching for someone else's profitable EA and using it to get rich."

No wonder products like Fap Turbo continue to be offered for sale; there are literally hundreds of gullible noobs appearing every day.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
I think it would take a simple experiment to set straight any guy (or girl) who thinks he can find an EA that will make him whatever amount of pips daily (let it be even 5) without any effort and competent supervision.
Just ask the person to go to the Trading Systems forum section here at the FF (which in my humble opinion is the best such on the net) and challenge him to browse the hundreds of great strategies there and try and find one, which can be traded in a purely mechanical manner, without any discretion on part of the trader. Let him find only one.

hi akara, I am no guru,infact i just opened an Alpari live account 2 months ago with 1000USD, I have been making between $1 to $5 a day because i scalp and i have had more losses than profit, just today i discovered MT4 platform comes with a free EA called Moving Average. I used it and this is its 4th trade today and I have made 500$. i dont know if it'll keep making this much money but as long as it makes it, I am game. so if you are using MT4, i suggest you try out the EA, works fine by me
