Still trying to find a way to run away from the large drawdown.. or stop loss level… Hopefully going to write something on it soon…

Hi Casey, thanks for the link. Now, what is your current thinking about EuroBlaster? I’m still live with it, though I reduced the simultaneous orders to 1 and the SL to 100 pips. Seems to be behaving at the moment, but tell me if I’m storing up trouble for down the track!

The other thing is .. i can say .. dont bother backtesting and demo testing megadroid .. it works. i can guarantee that .. i would never EVER say that about any other EA as a suggestion but just be aware 0.10 risk setting is 10% but they have a clever feature of putting on the screen the number of lots the EA will execute

Ive had good results with forex autocrusher
but the risk increases with the higher time fram EAs and that works on 4h charts.

– “down near 60%” meaning .. win loss ratio .. very low and always has problems trying to make a profit .. low profit factor.

KIT thanks for the comment ..but i must add .. vforce has had a new release and the version is higher … i havent had good success with xtreme and would drop that also. I disagree with REM comment as REM outtrades the fapturbo sometimes 3 to 1 in a session and the two .. sometimes but not all the time takes the same trades.. the two rem and fap actually work in synergy. Ive never had in a session both eas doing equally the same number of trades even though technically theyre the same EA. Megadroid is a great EA and so is CYBORG. eurgbp has very very low win loss ratio .. must be all the scalpers and is down near 60% for me .. so is gbpchf which is a hard basket case. usdchf is up in 80%-++ as high as 90% win loss rate for me and CAD and CHF are two of my best pairs trading the last month and euro with megadroid.

Yes… Obi Wan Onur…

Still thinking about manual trading… have to find that sort of commitment… Sigh… maybe I can be one with both auto and manual…. That is an idea I have been toying around yesterday…. We shall see….

Hi Casey
there is no reason to be ashamed, at least u still didn’t lose one of the accounts, something not unusual when traded with all these hype EAs. Forum posts from disappointed and desperate customers tell a lot about this bad experiences.
I support the idea to look in manual trading, it will help u to chose very carefully your EAs in the future
May the pips be with u

Hi Kit… Thanks for the advice. Yes.. I am looking and Megadroid, vForce as my next project.

I’m keeping FXOpen and FXDD well… Because I wanted to test FXOpen’s fix spread issue on FAPTurbo and well FXDD because if I can find a good EA for that I want to start using it as my Paypal bank account…

Have already forgotten about Alfa and EB.

As for Xtreme and RemExpert being redundant? I use RemExpert for two currency which FAPT does not trade or does not trade well.. GBPCHF and USDCHF.

Xtreme.. trades EURCHF and also EURGBP. They do not take similar trades as FAPT… So I won’t consider it redundant… cause by logic it should cascade my profits… Again by logic…

Thanks for the tip anyway….
