Traded demo account from start to close of trading for the week on all 7 pairs with a starting balance of $1000.00 and leverage of 500:1 and lot sizing of 0.01.
Settings were as follows - Internal Trend Confirmation 1.0, Multi Lots Factor 1.0, Step 3.0, Take Profit 4.0.
Been a really fun week checking and watching and resisting tweaking anything, but made it with some pretty cool results...at lest as far as account balance goes!
Netted 4754 pips during the week with a 56.4% return for the week.
Main downer was to end the week on over $900.00 of draw-down. The system draw-down fluctuated alot during the week, but generally there was always lots of draw-down especially after a couple of days, but I guess that's the nature of this beast and if you want the results you need to be able to handle that. I guess this goes right back to the beginning of this thread when GoogleTrader advised to use small lots, I totally understand why!
Check out my trade explorer, it make for some interesting reading. Only problem now the EA has changed, so hopefully 1.1 will do pretty much exacting the same, but maybe tighten the number of position sizes and grid arrangement a bit. I also noticed the maximum number of steps is the initial position+14 positions.

Too much agreement kills a chat.

EU test period 09/23/2014 - 01/09/15 Community trend -false It still blows up given time. Snatch profits as you go. Leave risk Capital {image} {image}
All my backtest with community trend false on the last version are now all hitting stop losses early. I did many backtest this week but never had result this bad. I now cannot even replicate my great results from yesterday with the same setting. Not even close! What am I doing wrong? History is all good. I had all my setting saved and they are exactly the same...
Trying to in my own way this weekend to gather optimal setting to forward test the new updated EA.
Thanks

Yesterday, the first big drawdown occurred in GBPNZD (exotic pair but with a favorable relative strengh ratio): the EA reached the thirteen trade but no more (0.11 starting obviously from 0.01)
Is Thirteen the maximun open trades allowed?
P.S.
GoogleTrader, many thanks for the new version
