Started this new thread for anyone who would like to post Forex EA results and settings.

Any Forex trading expert can come and nit pick EA set ups to help perfect the outcome of Forex EA trading. People also will have the benefit to the advantages and disadvantages for any EA trading robot.

Developers working on their own Trading robots EA's are welcome of course ;)
 
Instead of posting too-small charts which don't have enough information to make reasonable analysis, especially if you are looking for system feedback from other ASF members, try one of the following:

In MT4, you have two passwords on each account. One password is only for you, it allows you to trade and do all the things you would normally do. The other is a "read-only" password which allows others to login to your account, but they cannot do anything to the account; they cannot trade, cannot close accounts or withdraw money. Read-only access only allows others to see your system running in real time.

Maybe you don't like the idea of letting people log in to your account, regardless of their permissions. MT4 has a publisher function which allows you periodically publish your trades and account balances etc to a FTP server where it can be viewed by others. Find this in Tools > Options > Publisher

The last option (that I can think of) is to use one of the free services such as http://www.mt4stats.com/ where you use the MT4 publisher to upload to their servers and they strip off the personal information, just in case you are paranoid about giving out too much information.


Pick one/all of these and members will get a better appreciation of what your EA is doing and how to improve it.



Hope this helps.

This is the following set up I am using with FapTurbo (Anything not mentioned is left at default settings):-

Scalper Strategy for USDCAD, EURGBP, EURGPB and GBPCHF (will use money management and a Stop Loss)
Code: 
Scalper_GMTOffset = 2 (Broker dependent)
Scalper_MaxSpread = 5 or 3 or 6 (depends on the currency pair you scalp)
FapTurbo (long term Strategy 1 should give you a $2.00 USD TP)
Code: 
FapTurbo_Lots = 0.01
FapTurbo_LotsRiskReducer = 1.0
FapTurbo_MaxOrders = 2
FapTurbo_StopTime = 60
FapTurbo_TakeProfit = 20
FapTurbo_StopLoss = 0
FapTurbo_TrailingStop = 15
FapTurbo_ClsLsrOnMrktChnge = 1
FapTurbo (long term Strategy 2 should give a $25.00 USD TP but does not trade as often)
Code: 
FapTurbo_Lots = 0.05
FapTurbo_LotsRiskReducer = 1.0
FapTurbo_MaxOrders = 2
FapTurbo_StopTime = 60
FapTurbo_TakeProfit = 50
FapTurbo_StopLoss = 0
FapTurbo_TrailingStop = 15
FapTurbo_Prudent = 1 (will try to pick the best trade position if possible)
FapTurbo_ClsLsrOnMrktChnge = 0
FapTurbo_SpanGator= 5

I got these settings from the FapTurbo member forums. It has been back tested as well.

I have tested this set up on a $3000.00 USD demo account before I went live.
 
Yesterday I had bad luck with the USDCAD scalpers. The market can be unpredictable at times that is for sure.

The first loss ($22.36) hit the Stop Loss, while the others traded for over 6 hours.

The Fap Scalper will try to exit trades that have been trading for too long at the lowest possible loss unless the Stop Loss has been hit.

Yea, good idea. I give it a go.

I'm currently running MT4 on a Linux powered Asus EeePC 701 (using WINE), so I hope Those ideas are possible.

Correction.

FapTurbo_MaxOrders = 10 on both Fap long term Strategy s.
 
Live statement report update for today.

Hopefully I can work out how to get the Publisher working today. Or perhaps get a account log set up. The current open trades are looking good tonight.

Edit: I did not record the second pass word and the broker did not give me a second RO password ether via email. doh

in MT4...

Tools > Options > Server, press the change button to change your password(s). If you know the Master password, you can change the read-only password.

Read the help manual for setting up the publisher, but the form on Tools > Options > Publisher is pretty self explanatory.

Hi Stormin,

Just wondering what EA you use? And do you touch it at all, or just let it go by itself? Your results are quite impressive.
 
my own (along with a coding partner) creation. its been dubbed bunjip.

its not touched at all, news or otherwise. however i will turn it off before tonight's NFP and turn it on again 10 minutes after; just in case it gets on the wrong side of a rather large move. but that's probably the only time during the month ill mess with it.
 
This is for yesterdays wins. It was a good trading night. I have corrected the starting balance for this month.

Forexmeta is my broker. They however use FXDD (FX Data Direct). Also if you have 180+ full lot closed trades (might need a 10K account to do that) they will give you a $500.00 bonus too.

EDIT: The word going around is that you have lower spreads with FXDD (it self) by (say) 1 point.
EDIT 2: I don't pay commissions ether, they only collect spreeds
