Well it does appear that it isn't martingale from the strategy tester results, there are some strange lot size decisions at some points but it's definitely not martingale. If this is genuine then well done.

This EA is showing 0.7 pips expectancy on a demo account. Don't expect it to make any money on a live account.Best regards Steve

I just don't believe that the threads are a place for affiliate marketing. Could you imagine what they would look like if we all decided to market the latest EA that we had decided to affiliate with?I know it's pretty light on rules here but I'm pretty sure nobody wants discussions to degenerate into a series of adverts.Best regards Steve

Are you just adding affiliate links to a popular thread?That's a little cheeky.

Why not link the account up on here so that people can see it on MyFxBook then?That would surely be the best way to market your ZipSignals services on MyFxBook?Best regards Steve
MT4 History has big holes

Yes, it's a fairly common problem. Some might say it's a conspiracy to ensure it's impossible to backtest EA's properly...You can download tick data from other sources and run tests on that. Although it still is far from perfect either.Best regards Steve

This is the only EA I would recommend using on a live account at present. While it takes nerves of steel to keep with it, it always recovers back to where it was plus more. If you aren't prepared to accept losses, it's simple, stop trading. Best regards Steve

It's sad to see yet another person taken advantage of by unscrupulous brokers, I stopped trading with Think Forex when it became apparent to me that their back end systems didn't measure up to what I would expect from a top class broker.I would suggest that if you plan to carry on trading manually then don't trade an MT4 broker. Maybe try Dukascopy or someone more reputable. A lot of MT4 brokers are questionable, especially when you start winning.Best regards Steve

We're talking about optimising an EA here, 99% of which are I would imagine are based on technical trading rather than fundamental trading. While I appreciate that as a fundamental trader history is not of too great a significance, for technical trading it's all that you can base systems upon. Best regards Steve

If what was in the past doesn't matter then by extension all indicators are pointless as they are based on past data. If all indicators are pointless then how do you trade? Please share.

Totally disagree with you here. If you optimise an EA over say three months then those three months could be totally unrepresentative of the larger sample.I'm going to take a popular EA here to demonstrate.If I analyse the live trades of Forex Growth Bot from 1st October 2012 to 1st January 2013 - a three month period involving a total of 115 trades you would think. Okay that's a reasonable period and a fair amount of trades to take a look at. End result -5.95% If I analyse the live trades of Forex Growth Bot from November 9th 2010 to February 9th 2011 - a three month period involving ...

Hi Wip,I don't use MT5, so I can't help with that sorry.MT4 is still the recognised industry standard and preferred platform for most MT traders. For MT4 you have to download the data from an independent source and then load it into MT4. If it's coming up with 90%, then my guess is it's the same as MT4 and you only have the minute data with the prices in between being interpolated by a fractal algorithm. So basically if it's important to your EA to know what the actual prices are within a minute bar then you really need to get hold of and use tick data.Best regards Steve

Sounds prudent Daniel, I would expect some profit after one year.Trying to time entry is difficult. While FGB is describing a fairly good statistical equity curve ( which is one of it's good points ) the point at which to get in and out is not always that clear cut. However jumping in now would be reasonably wise.

Hi,I would disagree with biosko's answer. It depends very much on the EA and the frequency of trading. If your EA trades three times in one year then that's not a particularly good sample to look at. If it trades 100 times a day then one year is probably overkill.So, the more statistical data you have the more confidence you should have in your system. Where you draw the line ( 30 trades, 100 trades etc. ) is completely up to you. However the more you assess the more you can believe in the system. Don't disregard earlier years, there is no guarantee that the markets won't "...

If you need to learn a lesson personally then here's what I recommend.Take half your account out now so that you at least have doubled your initial investment and then carry on trading the same way.That way once you learn the lesson it won't hurt as much.Best regards Steve
