a friend of mine gave me login and investor password to his metatrader, and gave me a software to copy his trades to my metatrader ( ratio wise)

he is damn profitable!!!
all i want to know is -

how can we get the strategy he is using using the trades he is doing , and can we code it in an EA?

i am totally Blank in it, so you will have to think about it, i have no more info than what i gave you right now/

all i know about = he is making $$$ - lots of it.
this one is a demo account, but i think i will copy his trades to a live account now.

i know history of my demo account is not too much, but his live account is like this as well. (i can see that with investor password)

link to trade explorer if you can't see it.

If your friend is only able to give you the pass to copy his trades, you have no other way unless you know the exact rules of his strategy.

That was the question actually, can we somehow deduce his strategy from trades he opens?

at least some sort of an indicator like macd or bollinger or rsi or something like that. i dont' even know what timeframe he trades on!

So you basically know nothing about his strategy, and you want to be able to deduce how he trades? That is impossible feat. Why don't you just have him send you the trades via trade copier and be happy with it? If he is damn profitable, like you say he is, then you should be paying for his track record of profitability. Give me his contact info and I will contact him directly and PAY HIM to have his trades copied into my account ... Why steal someone's hard work when you can just pay for it legally ... just my 2 cents

Read the first post again, he IS sending me the trades, please check the trade explorer, and i am copying it to my account via the software he gave me, it made almost 20% in a week,

the problem is that i have no idea how he trades, or even if its manual or automatic, the problem is that the trades takes almost 1 minute to copy to my account and i sometimes lose as much as 10 pips in that 1 minute.

if you want to copy his trades, just copy my trade explorer thats all, its the same thing.
link to the trade explorer if you somehow don't see it in first post.

second, he is not selling it , at least i dont' know about it even if he is, and why would anyone making 20% a week sell the signals? he is a friend thats why he helped me out with his account username and investor password, thats all
i am happy with the trades, i just want to make sure that i can avoid the 1 minute delay, and save some pips, as it might bite me someday i have a feeling like that.

I DID read your first post, and that is why I am saying you should just be happy with his trades being sent to you. So the real issue is the trade copier you are using. you need better software that is all. There are a few out there, and you should be getting trades within a second or two, not minutes.

I am not sure what you mean by copying his trades from explorer? If I don't have a trade copier, how can I copy his trades? Unless he is only doing pending orders with defined SL and TP levels in those orders, there is no way for me to copy those

you can't copy the trades with trade explorer like i do it with investor password of his site?

i can't give you his password, but i can give my investor username, password

see if you can make something $ with this

this is username/investor password for ALPARI

i updated the first post as well with the username password

copy trades to you DEMO account to check and then enjoy with your live account if you want.!
remember, YOU take all the risk not me so copy signals only if you can trust his system.
Enjoy!

1) if he is a friend then just ask him his strategy....

2) if he does not want to tell you, then why are you disrespecting a friend by trying to work it out?
