It looks like this thread is slowing down at the moment....
I'm conflicted about which is best, and which I like best -- TOB or Beastie. TOB has done better on backtests, but I do like the stealth features of Beastie.

What you said about Beastie's trade closures -- I've noticed the same thing. (Check that: This is happening on TOB with aud/jpy and cad/jpy, but not on Beastie for me).

I'd also like to hear what others have to say about drawdown in Beastie versus TOB.

Same here. I'm running Beastie (CT only) on demo and TOB live on 21 pairs. Both maintain about 10% dd on open trades. However, I also notice that I have to watch closures on Beastie. I find myself manually harvesting profits when some pairs tend to trade far beyond the expected close. This might be the volatility thing, but I'm not certain. I hate to see a large profit sit there without closng. In any event, these are both great EAs. Kudos to Steve.

Regards,

People i have not change any settings, my TT is shutdown all the time , i just noticed that nanigbob V1 is banking so many pips and beastie TT is piling up only losses...from that reason i just check a nanigbob thread and monitor only trades that he thinks that could be profitable, and when he says something like that i monitor that with my beastie TT , with very tight sl... you can do a visual back test of your own , check his thread and monitor the pairs about wom are the discussing on the thread....

Fantastic use of an ea as an aid to manual trading.

Alternatively:

Fantastic use of manual stuff as an aid to ea trading.

Brilliant to see one being used to inform use of the other.

This thread is spooky silent , but the Beastie is rocking .This week beastie managed to pull from a market a 435 pips with a 5x lower floating minus then a last week (from floating -1000 pips, to a floating minus of -200 pips). I was only trading a CT , i didn't turn TT because i had no time to monitor market.The only reason i am sticking to a Beastie is his stealth approach with no pending orders. My criminals are real criminals ! lol

Steve i know that you have abandoned the beastie , but is it possible from time to time to update Beastie with TOB updates and improvements?

I only abandoned Beastie because the TT stuff appears doomed to failure.

What if I strip out the TT stuff and see if I can make Beastie and TOB mirror images of each other, except for the stealth technology?

Sounds good. I've been demoing both, and I do like the stealth features of Beastie.

Yes I have to agree, the Stealth with Beastie is very good, combined with TOB with Chaser it would probably be unstoppable !!

steve this would answer to our prays, TT needs monitoring all the time, so as far i am concerned we could go without it ...btw after one week of beastie live , my live account from some unclear reason was canceled by criminals(bonus account) . Oh yeah and the account rose for a 50% in just a one week , i guess they hate when they dont see a SL ,Tp or pending orders at some EA !
