I was sooo tired yesterday I woke up this morning to see that I had posted something for this thread somewhere's else! :o
Here is my 2nd attempt:
I thought I would post what I like to call my results with "Accidental Settings"
I was playing around with the settings as per usual and then I decided to put a value in LOT to 0.01
Now the reason I did this is because I was always filling in the next box Risk Percent to 1.01 which was fine.
In the old settings way, leaving the Lot to "0" and Risk Percent to 1.01, the backtesting was always trading 0.01 lots on each position being open.
Here is what I don't understand but have welcomed it. With Risk Percent left at 1.01 and Lot at 0.01, it started martingaling the strategy of buys and sells.
I only noticed this a lot later during the test as I noticed that my initial demo deposit of £500 did not crash
As you will see from the attached results I am to post, the Max DD is very deep. £729.55 (please note this is GBP and NOT USD)
Altogether and surprisingly I am very pleased for what to me I call "Accident Settings"
The test ran from 19/12/2014 to 31/03/2016 with pleasing results. This to me is encouraging for an EA that only has half a strategy built in.
(Wish I had more tick data with my broker)
Hope you all have a wonderful day/night!

What a great piece of work and efforts!! Thanks for sharing ea, Remon. I am using your ea since monday. I am usually taking 1-2% profit and shutting it down. Is there any possibility to add close all trades and stop button? The reason for asking this is, as it becomes too late sometimes to close remaining orders when i achieve my daily goal. Another thing that I have seen is, with 0.01 fix lot and only one currency ( EURUSD for me ) the max DD i see is of 5%. It will be helpful if the stop loss function in terms of % equity drawdown is added. Here's...
I am not saying this to be negative but only as a positive criticism. I think you need to study more what this EA does and redo the maths. Max DD is MUCH higher than 5% and the EURUSD is not a brilliant pair to work with because it trends too much and as the EA currently runs as a non-stopping EA without manual intervention, USD based pairs are too risky due to spikes during news events. I even tried this on the EURCHF pair and it failed the test due to SNB price manipulation.
Happy Pipping!

{quote} Maybe your broker min lot size is more than 0.01 try with 0.10

{quote} Thanks but that's not the problem. And the original EA works fine, this Remon78eg 30-3-2016 at least with Step Lot ins't working.
Persistence will get it. Consistency will keep it.
