May I know your risk settings please?TIA,Rick

GoldBull Pro Aggressive in Trading Systems Jun 29, 2015 at 13:24

Could I ask that everyone posting performance here tell us what risk setting they are using. This EA has two (long and short) risk settings (three modes: conservative, normal and aggressive) per chart. Naturally, live/real money accounts are preferred over demo accounts. With that said here is my demo account using all conservative settings. Account is with Global Prime. Global Prime is known for it's transparency and for having it's demo and live accounts exactly the same. I plan to go live with this Jul 1 (conservative settings). Also, no one here has mentioned the 10 lot limit on th...

sPhantom Auto Trader in Trading Systems Jan 08, 2014 at 19:26

Hi All,I have been running sPhantom on a live/real money account with Global Prime since Jul 22, 2013. I am strictly using the OOTB settings including risk. My account details are:http://mt4i.com/users/rsmerekaEven though I am against poor RR EA's, to date, sPhantom has done very well for me. I transfer out 50% of the profit each month.You can read about my sPhantom experience at:http://www.pipcop.com/forums/forex-robot-reviews/499-sphantom.htmlandhttp://www.pipcop.com/forums/member-trading-journals/171-rsmereka-trading-journal.htmlThanks for listening,Rick

Hi Jay,Your values don't mean much unless/until you tell us the risk value you use. I have been using sPhantom since Jul 22. I trade at risk 10 (OOTB settings) as opposed to the developer account which trades at risk 30 and the backtest posted on the developer's website which is set to risk 2.5 (even though the strategy test report has all the EA parameters wiped 😡).Rick

The 10%+ drop in equity on Jun 18, 2012 was due to a bug in the MT4i Personal Trade Copier. See http://www.pipcop.com/forums/general/455-mt4i-personal-copier-bug.htmlRick

I have never encountered this issue,I don't think it is the copier and if it is, then there is an issue with the VPS or computer.You need to do some serious problem determination by removing everything from the MetaTrader account (all the EA's, indicators and charts), then add them back, one at a time waiting and measuring as you go. That is the only way you are going to find out which component is causing the problem.Also, use the task manager (processes tab) to see which application is consuming all the memory. Verify that it is an instance of MetaTRader. It may be something else.Ric...

You are not pestering me,The short answer to your question is no. The long answer is...This account is now the master of a couple of live/real money accounts using a trade copier so I have fixed the starting lot size at 0.10. This lot size will not change.Also, I have not used maxbuys/maxsells 12 for some time. They are at 9 now.My Forex home is Pipcop.com. If you are interested in knowing the details of my strategy, see the Forex Hacked thread and My Trading Jounal thread at Pipcop.com.Rick

Thanks for that Jayman007,Another, very huge factor is the spread. AUDNZD is considered an 'exotic' pair and, as such, commands a very high spread. I know this from running Robominer for years. In addition, Forex Hacked trades a lot. Somewhere in the order of an average of 10 trades a day. Now, there will be less trades with AUDZND but the spread difference alone is substantial. I can get GBPUSD for about an average of 1.3 pip spread per trade. Guess what the average spread is with AUDNZD? Even with an Australian broker like GoMarkets, the spread is still many times higher than GBPUSD....

An assumption after years working with Forex Hacked,Prove me wrong. Not with worthless backtests but with live/real money trading.Rick

Hi Jayman007,I am pulling out 50% of the profits at the end of each month. I call it the 50/50 plan. I also increase the starting lot size according to the 5K per micro formula that I use.Rick

Hi Andre,AUDNZD would not be a good candidate for Forex Hacked. It's daily range is too low an it trends a lot.Rick

Hi SIM,Yes, the January trades are using the copier. The only non-copier trades are any trades that are not GBPUSD (I found at least one non-GBPUSD trade when I scanned the history). I would never ride Hacked bare-back (without using a copier).Keep in mind that when I started with Hacked on the GoMarkets live/real money account, I was way over-leveraged running a start lot of 0.01 (one micro) with just over 2K in equity. I really took a chance that the account would not blow up. It was Feb 9 when I made a large deposit that I was running a normal starting lot size (according to the formula of...

Hi SIM,When you use a trade copier, you never get the exact return on the slave that the master gets (especially when the two accounts are with different brokers). In addition, since there are two different brokers involved, I am copying trades 'at market' which means that the slave is not attempting to enter and exit at the same price as the master. All of this (and much more) is discussed in my Pipcop thread at http://www.pipcop.com/forums/current-live-robot-reviews/411-forex-hacked.html including the reasons I am using a copier and why I am copying 'at market'.Rick

Alpari has different guidelines for demo account than for real accounts. There is no such thing as a demo micro or limits on lots in play. Demo account can trade right down to 0.01 or up to 50.0 lots (I think 50 lots is the largest single trade allowed.In short, no limits on Alpari demo accounts which makes it even harder to achieve the same results on a live account. In the case of Hacked, you pretty much need at least 50K (using the 5K per micro formula) for a 'classic' account (minimum one mini start size). A micro is not viable because of the restriction on the total lots in play.R...

Hi Ryan,Hacked does that all the time. That is one of the reasons I am using a copier.Trust me. Higher TP leads to way higher DD. Try it for yourself.Rick

The settings I am using are in post #2 of this thread (with one change, the max trades has been changed from 12 to 9).You may download the Forex Hacked settings file used on this account from http://www.pipcop.com/forums/current-live-robot-reviews/411-forex-hacked.html.

As stated in the General tab, this account is a slave/receiver of a trade copier (MT4i Personal Copier).
