Well? Which one. No point saying one is positive without letting us know which one now is there?

im sure some hard work went into finding that needle in the haystack. cant expect many hours of work to just be handed out. its nice when it is, but it cant be expected.

What about SwissbrokerFX

http://www.swissfxbroker.ch/index.html/
 
I`m having trouble finding an EA that has a positive equity curve.Does anyone have one off the net?

For EUR/USD with $10,000 over the four year period from January 2005 to January 2009 there is only one I have found.

This EA is from the envelope series and may have been tweaked to suit but seems to be more promising than the others that go negative.

Take a look at the best from the Elite Section. See if you can find something suitable. That is if you have not already

there are quite a few good ones on the elite section.

well worth the $15 a month to subscribe. some very knowledgeable people on there.

we have looked at the envelope in depth. we have notes on it and will revisit it. it requires a limiter to recognise trending and ranging markets.

Strategy Tester ---- EUR/USD M15 Jan. 10 2005 to Jan. 16 2009, 0.1 lot size.

I don't know how to use strategy tester for backtesting.

Got a good link which shows how to do it including importing the historical data?
 
back test looks like it was done properly. a lot of mismatched charts errors. what data are you using? usually this comes from one time period not matching the next.

ie close of one bar doesnt equal the opening of the next one.

one thing that will be different between a backtest/demo + a live account will be spread + execution (slippage).

downloaded the 1M data from the alpari site

run the converter script to convert to 15M

using out of sample data is the only true test

Take a look full report

First attempt at a back test.

So not sure if results are correct or not.

That is very good thanks Faps.

Obviously the Money Management algorithms are the key factor in successful EA`s.Do you know basically what determines the increasing lot sizes.I`m assuming it is account balance but I don`t really understand the logic used to increase lot sizes over time.

Nevertheless it does encourage further investigation.Can you honestly type that live results are following the same pattern?

Thanks for your contribution to the forum.
