Hey Magix, Just an update on my test so far. I am still testing V1 since last Friday, running 24/7 non stop with no manual intervention on 14 pairs. Demo for now. It has been doing really well, it has banked $502 so far, currently holding a roughly $200 negative drawdown. Max drawdown I have seen in this time has been $800 but it managed to work it's way out of that very well. I must say, I really like V1, but I am not yet testing the others to compare. I will keep you updated about my test with this version as we go again, thank you Magix! Incredible...

14 pairs?

Nice!!

$800 is some serious draw, but if the end of the week is greater than the beginning, all is good.

Do you have a trade explorer or a Myfxbook link to have a look at?

I'd be interested in the stats on pairs you are running.

Looks like both of the versions ran into some issues last night...

Figured with the drop on Cable there might be some damages to 3 and it seemingly hit the Stop loss...definitely needs to be refined!

The Hourly, trend...could work, but would have to inc in some better logic on a wussy close...

Where it seems the Wussy Close on FK2 was to it's detriment.

Fortunately, my live cash sat out last night so, and just launched...hopefully the trend chop will be a lot smoother for the day.

FK2 stumbled out of 2 blocks...

The first, cable.

A retrace on the previous day read to be a trend reversal and the trades closed out in loss, when would have made up...

The second batch of losers, provided by the dragon...

Same sort of situation as the cable losses.

The chop zone was a lot greater on EURUSD, afforded the minor profit....but a lot of deep trades for that minimum close value...and perhaps another one on the way.

Hi Guys

First post here - I'm a reader not a replier!

When I add the EA to MT4 I'm getting an unhappy face next to it - does this mean I've done something wrong? Sorry for the newbie question but this will be my first experience with EAs.

Thanks in advance.
Focus.

Yup, 14 pairs! I haven't set up a myfxbook for this account yet but will do so tonight when I get home. In the meantime, here's another update. Current banked profit since Friday is $570, and drawdown has come down to a floating -$80 at the moment. V1 is rocking! Will post a link here later.

The chart you have the EA set on...

Hit F7, go to the common tab.
Check Live trading.
OK.

Make sure AutoTrading is enabled on main screen.

Sad face should be happy.

The EA is trading exactly how it was told to.

That part I have verified...what isn't working is that I need to either delay the triggering, or extend the profit ranges to allow for a proper retrace.

Will work on a few ideas...maybe something revised for next week.

Busy week for me and the weekend will probably be the same. With my youngest having ceremonies for the Armed Forces tomorrow and some going away activities for the weekend, bound to have my hands full, keeping his head out of the toilet!

Hey Magix

I've had the EA running on EU (120secs) and UC (900secs) for over an hour and no trades have been placed. Am I being impatient or do you think I've done something wrong?

Cheers.

What time frame are you on?

Is there any errors in the Experts or Journals tab at the bottom of your terminal?

Net loss on the week... $48 smackeroos. lol Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I can deal with a $50 shit hit! {image}

Well...a few hours running FK2 during tk and a couple this morning...erased the $50 hit and added a couple of bucks to the balance.

Gotta love it when a Plan comes together!

Quite frankly, this thing scares me

Do you think it would be a good setting to have that stops any further trades once DD reaches a certain limit?
