I've been thinking of doing the exact same thing. I use MT4 aswell.

I dunno about you, but i would like to get into fund management. So i would document everything in percentages. that way people would find it easy to compare my performance with others.

Dunno how you could get the trades uploaded to your blog though (im not sure if you would want to either).

If your looking towards fund management, pm me, i got a cheat sheet

MT4 has a publisher function where you can automatically periodically have MT4 upload the trade summary to a defined FTP server for others to view online. Tools > Options > Publisher

Also, when you establish an account you will have noticed there are two passwords: one is for you to use (keep this one very private) as it allows the account to be traded; the other is a read only account, so others that you give your account number and READONLY password to can log into the same server and view your trades in real time.

Both functions are very useful...


Hope this helps.

Its just demo... demo EA running on a demo acct for demonstration purposes!

The EA itself is EXTREMELY dangerous; it's a martingale system so although when it's making profits it looks ok, the entire acct can be wiped out in one "session" of trades. I would not trade it in real life...

... but you should be able to get the message on some of the less-well-known facilities in MT.


Good luck with your trading.
