Nice post whip :-) I won't have much time to test out the updated Kev because of work and family, so I will be watching instead.

EDIT: I'm kidding myself... or I can't help myself hehehe! I've already setup Kev to look for only MOM trades on GU, EU, AU, EJ, UCAD & UCHF... I heard they use GJ as well.

Steve & hiredwhip, what pairs are you testing Kev on and are you using OOTB settings?

Kev just traded an EJ buy and already in profit by a few pips

First trade taken, short EU.
Moving the SL also works fine.

What I don't understand why suddenly the trade was exited and it was on its way down to TP.

Will watch for the second trade and see what happens.

.... I have a general question for you,
I saw your trading room picture posted,
What do you use to connect 3 monitors to one computer?

Do you have 2 VGA ports & HDMI or do you just use a desktop extender?
you can have has many VGA cards installed as you have available pci slots on your MB. Limit is 9 i think for winxp. then you can extend your existing desktop which ever way you feel via software.

dito. that`s no problem!
as a tip: if you are running a vps or a home server like me, you can install the free software teamviewer to simply connect to it. teamviewer is also available for mobile phones, so you can watch your Platforms from everywhere ;-) (if you have one).

back to the kev ea: it`s trading like a charm. seems to be my new favorite ea :-)

cheers

Second trade EU short just ended in a BIG loser.

NOTHING seems to beat manual trading, I guess

Latest update in post 1. I do not have time to write about them now as I have to go out - will do so later. In the meantime, most are easily worked out, so have a play and see what you think.

Kevinator has taken some really nice MOM trades and a few H1 trades. Are you guys getting alot of trades ? Im not getting very many when set to Aggressive/H1, missing alot of setups. Trying to troubleshoot this but not having much success-I know its something on my end.

Nice work on this Steve, I like the last update.

Changed the setting to "aggressive" and it started taking trades like crazy, stopping each @ 1 pt. profit.
Will reset to OOTB and see what happens, as nothing did before.

Those are points (pippets).
If they were pips it might mean something

Im still interested. Have had some really nice trades & a couple of losers. Still not sure if I have the EA working right on my system. Sometimes, nothing happens-even when set to Aggressive/H1. Also, would it be beneficial to us if we had the hedge/recovery option like on some of the other EA's?

Yes. I simply could not be bothered to explain the update. Still can't.

I am concentrating on MOM trading - the drift of the updated version. The M60 strategy is best turned off.

I have a couple of busy days coming up. From Wednesday, I am hoping to do some live MOM trading to refine my ideas. From these will probably emerge a new robot that looks to trade MOM only.
