I'll tell you how we could probably squeeze more profit out of these EA's. Come up with a close all function (for when EA takes profit) that would close all buys or sells immediately instead of consecutively. At the end of the week I'm going to add ...

Bob I've been trading the 50/15 nonstop (24/5) since 11/23 default settings and have grown $3000 to $3640. No stoploss hit yet but have come close three or four times. This week even with wider spreads, I'm up $134 as of wed. am..

forexisfx — How did you backtest these settings from Nov. till now? Do you run the buy EA through the strategy tester then the sell and add the two results together? I'm assuming you test with a fri. shutdown. Remember, spread widening and ...

Toyo — Don't understand why you were stopped out. I've been running 35/25 (default settings with $750 since around 7:00 PM EST last night and got a retrace. How much money were you trading with?

When using FrostCall's spreadsheet, can someone explain the ratio part of it? If the ratio value is 17:43 does that mean you are risking $17 to make $43? What would be considered a good ratio value? Thanks

Joe, My account went 10 levels deep this am.. I was prepared to let it hit the 200 SL. but like I said, it retraced enough to get out with a small loss. Would have actually taken profit if I would have left it alone. Mult. factor is 1.4.

I took the chance and got a retrace on my 50/15 (all but $4.00) this morning. I was about 30pips from a SL at one point.

Hey FrostCall — No problem. I really appreciate the help. Take your time.

I'm using 1:400 with $500, 35/20, default settings, 8PM EST-sometime before U.S. markets open. I went to bed with free margin floating as low as 1588% but got up this am. and EA doing fine now (8900%). I'm sure free margin was lower than 1588% ...

Thanks FrostCall. At present my free margin is at only 1633% with six buys and two sells. This is the lowest I've seen yet. A few more trades opened and you'd have a margin call. With real money I'd be tempted to look for an exit at this point.

There is an indicator posted somewhere in this thread called the AccountEquityAnalyzer. It tracks among other things, maximum floating drawdown. I'd like to find something similar to it that tracts free margin so that if I was away from the computer ...

To those trading the 35/20 ,default settings, with $500 during the Asian session only. What has been the lowest free margin level you have seen? I think we're going to have to watch that when trading only $500. My lowest I've seen was 2746%. I'm ...

This would be a nice addition to these EA's. Can you program something that would show what the max. margin used was? Thank you FrostCall.

100 x 80 EA oh boy

What didn't you like about the 50/15? Did you see more drawdown compared to the 50/20? I'm going to run both for the next month and decide which i like best. How would you back test that EA. Run the buy then the sell and then add the two? I run the ...

Have you tried Bob's latest settings on this pair? 50/15, mult. 1.4, 10 levels, SL 180, trading .05 I traded it thur. am to fri. am and ended up almost $100.

Bob will probably have some more to add.
