Looks great. But the free trial ea only works in the tester. Would have to buy minimum $199 for the ex4.
I've already thrown away money on other eas that looked great in the tester.
Don't think I'll spring again for this one.
Unless you are trading with it and have good results.
Can you say? thanks..

Looking at a combination of the fishing ea for opening the trades
and the stop and trailing stop ea for closing them.
This could be a really good scalping technique.
Fishing waits for the step move... I've set it here as 5 pips.
It's the slow time just before Asian markets. to just see how it might work.
Sweet Scalper used trailing stops to lock in profits on very small moves.
So 5 pip is the step to open..
then 2 pips to lock in gains with a 30 pip tp, 5 pip stop loss and 4 pip trail.
Let's see how that goes.
Just getting used to Zorin Linux os... It's great so far. Fast... sleek.. and free....
Just can't stand Windows...esp Windows 10.
Thanks Ferdinand for the stop and stop loss ea....

take care because ronz ea is points then 2 pips=20
for 30 pips tp you need to enter 300

Back to the dragon expert.
it's a very risky ea. But I am setting it up for just one hour. the slow time. For one hour after London closes. I'll try setting it for one hour after London closes to 2 hours after london closes.
So far it is testing out nicely for just the one hour. With 10 pip step and 10 pip tp.
Want to look at 5 pip step and 5 pip tp
and at other 1 hour spots.
EURUSD...
minimum $1000 high leverage... .01

Have you tested the sweet scalper with standard settings? I can't get any positive results...

Try this.
tp 20
stop 5
trl 4
risk 20%
can start with $10.... EURUSD 1 min... See what happens...
I put up another thread just to try to get more insight on what is going on with this expert.
It really kills it in the tester..
He has sent a 1 week free trial ex4 and it is running live on a small micro account. Took trades this morning just like it does in the the tester. If it keeps this up, I'll get it. NO MARTINGALE....

Probably very sensitve for spread, did you change that around in the tester?

I set EURUSD at 2 for spread. I use ECN. spread is very very small but there is $.06 commission per .01 for EURUSD. Still that should have been alright in live trading.
The expert takes into account the spread and the commission.
There are long stretches of losses. But the profit is always greater over time. i have to get used to the way it trades.
It is on micro now with $10. 1:500. In the tester it could grow from that to thousands over time.
Let's see what happens. I only have a week of free trial live testing. But it will still set up in a demo indefinitely, I think. So maybe I can just let it run in the demo for a while and see if it comes out of the losing pattern or if it just keeps losing like so many of these experts do.
It takes some getting used to... to have a lot of losses all in a row. Small losses but still... It takes some getting used to. and a lot of faith in the expert which I don't have right now.

Forget the Sweet scalper It's buggy.
Sometimes the stop kicks in and sometime it doesn't..
Same with the trailing stop.
two different demos.

one on the left never put the stop in place.

Meanwhile old slow and poky Fishing with giant steps.. is chugging along
Two completely safe trades yesterday as the pairs start to move enough to hit the buy or sell limits.
I expect about 2 trades day average as they get more and more set up.
Just have to leave everything running all the time.
Connected or not connected just not shut down the pc.
If it works out I can go with vps.

With Fishing set up it is possible to get caught in a large drawdown and be in a position for a very long time. Highly unlikely. But it is possible.
the step is minimum 150 pips. So if it doesn't retrace at least 5 pips when the 150 step triggers the open then it will have to go another 150 pips to open the recovery trade. and then retrace another 75 or 80 pips to close both. It is highly unlikely to happen. But it could. It could mean being in those positions for a large drawdown... 150 pips at least and for a long time.. who know how long... At some point it will happen.

Looks pretty good. Relatively small drawdown... for the type of trades.
Not sure I understand the algorithm though.
Do you have a link to any documentation?
Thanks...
$800 in 2 months is worth putting up on a demo Monday...
chug a long with Fishing... slow isn't the word...
But the trades when there is one are a "sure thing"
Does this have an expiration?
Is it free use? Live and demo?
