Caillou: another always-in auto-trader by SteveHopwood

Profit over 125$. Great. And EA still work and work. Great! Thanks.

So. I closed EA for this week. +140$ its great result. Cao.

Version 1.09
lot size 0.01 for every $100 in this case 0.02
TF 1min
profit target was 10 pip per trade
Trade time 7am to 9am BST
money managment, RSI, ATR was off
Fractals as per version 1.04

account leverage 1/400

the result is above 200 pip for the week, I had 3 to 4 trades per day with max number of open lots per trade 10 and normaly not more than 4.

are you really trading only 2 hours a day ? But you dont close the trades after 9am BST ? Opening from 7 to 9 ... after that ... let it run ? Or when do you close the trade ? Do you trade only EUR/USD ?

it is 2 hours a day. The EA will take trades untill 8:59 and will manage all open trades until they are all closed.

There is a bug: I program the EA to run from 7 to 8. and the EA stay open till 9 am. If I am programing till 9 then it is stays open till 10AM I dont know if this is happening only to myself.

I'm trading the EU but this is only because I'm mainly trade the EU, It will work with other pairs if you know how to adjust the trading time to suit the pair.

I did choose 7 to 9 am BST based on my (poor) expirience, please test different times

The 3 hrs that you then get should still not harm your results, as the best moves happen in those and the few next hours.

If we use this EA on 1m just before the important news, what will happen？

So EA work and work. Over 150$ made in last 7 days.

so amazing with EDD

@ zk74 - using 0.1 lot per trade - what's your start capital to avoid MC ?

I now testing with 1k$. But to avoid MC i think will be enought 2 to 3k$ on account.

170$ Profit. Yeah.

190$ all ready. I closed EA befor news.

I tried adding a stop loss but it didn`t work and i`m not a good programmer. Maybe some kind of emergence stop loss is needed, because the robot is able to lose all your money for 7-8 hours. And a news filter would be great too. Strange, zk74, but I don`t get the same results, i`m on 5 digit broker too. You said you are on default sattings, but maybe you are using the robot semi-automatic, am I right?
P.S. When I add stop loss it gives error 138.

The only thing I can see is zk74's very narrow broker margin. I'm using Alpari UK both Demo and Live side by side with identical settings. The Demo is racing ahead of the Live with margins of around .7 as opposed to 1.6 on the Live. I suspect that makes all the difference on the M1 scalper type TF.

The only thing I can see is zk74's very narrow broker margin.

First, average spread for real account is 2, but yours are 0.7

Second, the broker can send you " context busy, no connection,requote sometimes"

I can guarantee you, this EA wont survive on real acc for a week.

But if you use it on H4, that will be another story.

I'm using FXCBS Demo account.

Hey big guy, any chance you can share your set file? Cheers

I use original setings. Just download EA and it will work fine on your MT4 platform.

I've added a stoploss to the version I use on live account, I can share the code if anyone wants
