I would highly suggest you to not do so. That's not a good idea to go LIVE with an EA in developement.

Forward DEMO is the way to go until EA is confirmed working correctly.

@Abokwaik
Is risk calculated based on the balance or equity?

Ok, this is getting interesting. Have to see if this works on other pairs. Quite the expert - has more potential than I have seen in a while. Like anything else, one has to trade it correctly or get burnt. {image}
Thank you for share your expert abokwaik, interesting

nonlinear, please can your share your set of this test ?

Thanks

Balance. See post 261.Close all on Max Drawdown % input can be added.

One neat trick I did was to turn on ATR and used default which is 1 Day. One Day was good but when I tested 1month,fewer trades but my oh my.
I try to remember some but turn of Hedging, Set ATR to true(1 DAT), Look Back Pip (20), Signal TF (M15) and run on M1 gbpjpy. That's all I remember.

But I will be sure to post the setting when I get it right

I see, ok that works fine when you have 1 pair to trade but its creating a mess when you trade more then 1. For example i have put a full throttle on the forward account just to see what damage reckless investing could do.
Balance jumped in one day from 300 to 800. But equity was on 300 on some moment. Ea was opening 0.08 lots of orders which was a pure suicide at that moment.
I had to intervene and kill some biggest lot size orders.

From this reason i think that its much safer for account that ea reads equity instead of balance.
Close on All on % DD is also good option.

Balance is better for Pyramiding, Equity is better for Averaging option.

Variable lot size is suitable for testing.
In real life I prefer fixed lot size, which can be manually increased when balance (with no open orders) reach certain level(s).

I don't know about you guys, but I would never trade such a system on M1, with max order enabled.
Transaction cost on M1 can kill best systems. so be aware.
Even M5 is dangerous imho.

The minimum I can think of is M15 as an entry tf.

abokwaik

i think you are right, I am demoing on M5 but only 1000 point TP, but i think the signal would be more consistent on higher TF.
