I am testing this on 2 demo accounts with 2 different brokers. One of account is working fine but I it is not working on the other account. I am getting the following notification "zero divide". Can someone help me fix this? Its not trading at all.

this performance shows a shocking potential of the system. if this is general performance, this EA must have a very redundant edge vs the market, which is really shattering my belief.

i'll try it after work today. thanks to Paulss and DirtyBrown.

There is definately variability in how the EA functions by broker. Which brokers are you using? Also please post a screenshot from your journal tab it may have clues.

I'm also having a problem. Using the settings recommended by Paul with .1 lots, it will only trade eurusd. I get this on 2 brokers, finfx and pfg best. Maybe i didnt set something right. Here is my set file, Paul do you see a problem?

there is no condition to restrict/trigger the EA to trade, if i read the source code right.

this is an always-in system, i guess. but how come there is no entry condition? I didn't see the 1st post's entry condition in the source code.

I saw the ea buy 1 lot on first pair and 0.80 on the second pair so if your broker dont allow micro lots it cant work because the minimun is 0.1 and with this setting the ea need to buy 0.1 on first pair and 0.08 on the second

Works with Micro's on trading point!

Thanks chrys I think that was it. For some reason a lot of brokers offering demos dont offer micro demos. Probably to try and make you overly greedy as a newb. If anyone has a list of broker demo's offering micro please post here.

Unfortunately they got a$$fvcd by dodd-frank so US residents cant direct have accts there now. Of course, to the sophisticated money manager there are sever legal recourses to this minor inconvenience!

Hi, Paulss:

Could you please elaborate how the EA does what that guy said?

I could not identify the "gap" on chart when the EA enters. How do you overlay the two charts?

Quoting paulss

my new demo so far up 1% for one day.

say, 20000$ capital, i use 0.2 lot vs 0.16 lot, closed 5 pairs now.

nima, i don't believe this. why does this EA has such an edge? the edge is too big to be true.

i just cannot understand the code's entry logic, who can help me on this?

max DD is approximate same as profit, that is, 1% or so.

thanks for the thread, i'll help the development of the EA/system, if you need. let me know.

Good to hear the results. Key will be to see how it manages the drawdown in the coming days.

definitely an issue.... both my 1m and 5m demos are in drawdown

i suppose this should be where the edge is in this system... that because the pairs are correlated sooner or later they will meet again and we will get out of the drawdown

its just a matter of seeing how long that process is going to be

hi guys,

is there any difference placing this EA at different timeframe?

i tested the ea using default settings.
2 trades so far.
1st trade gain of $2 (5m timeframe)
2nd trade floating gain of $20 (5m timeframe but switch halfway to 1m)
Not sure how to check drawndown though.

I also plied this EA for 2 days and left it running on ADSL connection overnight and now for 48 hours... and so far up 3% both days.

Got it running over Monday, will check on Tuesday to see what happens.

Guys, form what I can see the most drawdown I've gone into so far is approximately 3% - which is considered extremely good for EA's! So why's everyone complaining about DD's? Am I missing something here? Has someone even exceeded 10%?

I know its still early days for this EA but I must say after a week's testing that I'm pretty impressed with it so far. Gains are about the same as the DD - so 2 - 3% a day, man, I'll have that anyday!

That's good to know. Well for me personally maybe I'm just so used to EA's showing promise at first then inevitably failing. I was only able to run it for less than 24 hours on a proper broker. However, based on your feedbacka dn from others, drawdown does not seem to be a problem yet. Thanks for the info.
