image You may be on to something with using 2 for equity gain...it may be small enough because of the incredibly small spread, but more profit each time. It closed over 400 trades in LO, though! and you cut if off right after NFP, didn't even let ...

quote=kashTrader;7924148]Pips, A quick question. Is there any reason why the EA looks to gain a certain Equity? Is it not the same if we look for a certain P/L? I ask this because, if you have multiple accounts, or doing something else then the ...

Definitely broker problem...I've never seen or heard of that before. Just because some people are getting ridiculous returns with armada, doesn't mean there the best overall If you think you can figure it out, I'm all for it...please test it for ...

You'll have to close that last trade. It's called an orphan, and it should have closed with the others, I don't know why some people have that problem...I think it's broker related. Once you close it, the EA will start over again.

It shouldn't leave any orphans, that, I think, is a broker problem. The EA is programmed to look for orphan trades and close them before restarting. ~Kosmo...all I can say is wow! that's more return than we should be making in a whole month! Can you ...

You can choose which type of demo to run with Finfx inside MT4...go to the File menu, choose the login option, and start new account...then you can select the leverage, and the type, which you want micro type, from the list. Micro doesn't have ...

New page, new chart image Yes...you can demo with them, but check your ping to their server. I'm not sure...if the EA doesn't place orders right away, you can just go back and move the times.

Sure...your FXCM account has 10 times the lot size it should, BTW...you can change the lot percent to 0.1, like someone else had to previously. It should be 0.5 lots for $50,000. When the EA starts, it sets the pending orders at designated distances ...

are you able to get the 1:500 leverage with them? If so, it's ok. I wouldn't go live for 3 months. You must demo. You've already experienced some toughies, and it's only been a couple of days. I posted this EA with a lot of confidence, but I'm not ...

Here's the little dirty secret, OK? Anybody wanting to have a backtest come out clean is doing so to try and sell this themselves somewhere else, period. This EA is impossible to backtest because there is no TP. (There, 11 times of repeating this ...

yes, change the gridstep, you can leave the buffer alone. .4-.7 is the gap between orders we want. put 30 on gridstep settings as a value...that will give you $0.40 between orders

Leave it if you still have pending orders, if all orders are open, then close them, and adjust the gridstep, not the buffer. I see you only have a few pending orders left open...yeah, close them, IMO. Your range of trades went from 1203 to 1209, ...

Some brokers have different methods of dealing with trade orders that don't meet their minimum distance criteria. If they won't let pending orders be placed within spread distance or less of starting price, some brokers send MT4 the 130 error, but ...

I can give some description, but just know there isn't a magic formula fix-all. Shiva's account is outrageous, but others using the same broker have negative results so far, so there's more to it than spread. Ok, how the settings work from top to ...

Yes. It doesn't account for commissions, just the spread. ~spyderman- for whatever reason your statement shows the trade size was 10X what it should have been...should have been 1 lot per trade, not 10...did you leave the settings alone? It should ...

Just so I can watch the market while answering your questions... Firstly, Shiva's results are very abnormally good. It should take 2 weeks or so to get 10% profit. I think this is because of the small spread. The EA was designed to work with a range ...

Ok, so what's happening is the EA is closing the trades the moment is sees the equity hit profit target, but the trades are taking too long to close, so the price is reversing during this time, netting you a loss. If you look in your trading history ...

Looking at your explorer, either you have demo account with commissions, or your broker or latency is lousy. Look a few posts back from this one about commissions.
