Take a look at this part of a Trade Report for EG104 taken from Bauta. A theory to explain the poor performance of the EU/USD would be interesting. Over that 51 weeks nothing unusual has happend to the Euro and there hasn't been any huge decline or increase. Obviously 51 weeks is not the longterm and it'll be interesting to see if it continues to walk forward like this. {image}
Not that I am an expert in this EA but I think those are 'floating loses'. Once the positions are closed, you will find the Euro to be also in net profit.

Absolutely right. The Floating open loss is around $42,000, so the Euro is about $4000 to the good. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thank You for your answer Bauta, what is the setting if I want to close all positions if X% reached, (any time of the day) but like the ea continue to run on the same day. Every time the target is reached, close all positions and start again immediately. Thanks
None. DayTarget is developed to target only once a day. If you want to target more than once a day, you may do so manually.

Scalping with symmetry...
symmetry micro scalper failed. I am starting new one with StartLotQty=0.01 (use 0.1 for 10K contract size)
New Explorer: Symmetry_Scalpper_2
here we will keep the screen shot for future reference.
Let's start over.

{quote} Now that I've done a few trades a little feedback comparing my FXPro demo to my Vipromarket live account. I'm only trading micro 0.01 lots. An 0.08 lot made a profit on FXPro of 10.08 and the exact same trade on Vipro made 11.52 nett (after commission). That's over 14% difference. As I've said before, I'm a gambler (a successful one) and a 14% difference is massive. Las Vegas is built on an edge of around 3% on average. It goes to show that you need to hunt around for good prices and good commissions (and low slippage of course). I'm sure...
dr_who,
note Vipromarket does not provide cent accounts (mini or micro contract size)
for reference, if you want to know the minimum lot sizes for mini or micro contract size using 100K standard contract size, this should be your minimum:
in an standard 100K:
mini minimum lot size is 0.001
micro minimum lot size is 0.0001
thanks, bauta

From Google:


Understanding Lot Sizes & Margin Requirements when Trading Forex
LotNumber Of Units
Standard100,000
Mini10,000
Micro1,000

So, mini is 0.1 lot and micro 0.01 which somewhat contradicts what you said. I don't mind which it is but I think you'll find you're wrong.

lot size and contract size are not the same:
lot size is the quantity you buy/sell, contract size is the amount of money for 1 contract.
example:
standard account EURUSD:1 lot = 100K
cent mini contract: 1 lot = 10K
cent micro contract: 1 lot = 1K

once again, I am referring to contract size in money, not lot size in lots.

vipromarkets is 100k contract size.

micro lot = 0.01 = $1,000

mini lot = 0.1 = $10,000

paxforex cent account as sample is 1K lot size

micro lot = 0.01 = $10

mini lot = 0.1 = $100


I think you get it now.
to see contract size, right lick a contract and select specifications: (see images)

I did start it again. now using EG104 defaults with the excretion of GridSizeFactor set to zero.
Explorer Symmetry_Scalper_2 will be used to track it.
I am demoing it on standard accounts for about 3 weeks now. it is working. for this cent account it failed, maybe because I did started it with 0.02 lots. also this broker is 4 digits broker, it may not help.
let's play it for more time.

I see spread and commission kind of high. They are on US dollars?

usually fixed spread with not commission is 3 pips and floating spread for commission is 1 to 2 with commission of $10

Yes, I was aware of all that and didn't muddle up lot and contract size. However, I did miss your word 'minimum'.

Anyway, the point of the post was brokers offer a wide variety of prices, trade speeds and commissions, so it's wise to shop around. The 14% disparity I mentioned is huge and could make the difference between being profitable and losing in the longterm.

Let's move on....
