It’s the time of the month again where I review my month end performances. But this time round I think I need to really look into this much more deeper. As June closes, it means half of the year has gone. So how did I fair? After numerous thoughts, and action change and philosophical ideals, did my performances changed?

Let’s have a look…

Last month I came out slightly better… and it seems that I am slowly moving out of the rut from a month end total lost of $417 in April to -$65 in May and profit of $20.90 in June 09. Just to note… I have to deduct $100 because I added another $100 into my FXDD account to start trading Forex Barometer.

Overall my last half month was a failure. I have taken myself back $225 from my objective to recoup my initial capital. I am really hoping to break even by the end of this year, which is my target and goal for 2009.

And once that is done, my target is to recoup my initial investments on buying all these forex EA by mid 2010. Subsequently start profiting after mid 2010.

Bold? I don’t know… but at least it’s a goal.

It has come to a point where I start to continue to think what is right and wrong. When I wrote my post on Scam, Sham and All that is Bullshit! I realize that apart from my bottom line, one must make a stand when it comes to this industry.

Yes, I have been guilty of downloading some EAs for free, cracking the codes and freely using it like there is no tomorrow… while I also have been a good boy and buying a few EA myself. Most of them were $hite…

So… I would like to use this site as a vehicle to promote those that are innocent… Well… more like promote those that I currently used LIVE on my account.

This is in support of those that are ‘innocent’ and has a good nature of probably improving their proprietary EA that these EA authors developed.

On one hand, I know a lot of people do not want to spend money not knowing if a product is good or not. That’s the reason why it can be easily gotten for free over the internet, if one were to search hard for it.

On the other hand, this leaves the real proprietary EA author in a dilemma. It might or might not hinder them from developing or improving their EA.

The argument is that, if it’s so profitable, then why don’t they use the EA themselves? The reply would be, if they don’t share it OR sell it, how would people like you and me, who does not or might not have the time to learn MQL language and build our own EA or even get a chance to participate in the worlds biggest market…

Because of the need to bring innovation out to the market, scammers and bullshiters prey on people/end users like us… to make a quick buck. In this industry where scammers and bullshiters exist… one dares not enter or buy an EA with their own money…. Some would, but most won’t…

So the internet naturally regulate themselves. Review and EA Test sites pop up like mushroom so that consumers don’t get scammed. Sure they will test on their own platform and give them their reviews. But with so many variables like which broker they use and which settings they have changed all the more cause their reviews to probably be bias.

So what could beat all this? To ensure that one is getting the right product that works for oneself. We need to test it OURSELVES…

When we test it we can be sure that it is good and profitable. Only then we purchase it.

That is the reason why some do offer a demo EA. But with the decompiler software… that makes it tricky. So no more demo version.

One might suggest to open a demo account and past the information to the EA seller to prove it to you. But that takes a lot of the sellers resources to prove it… Like in Enterra’s case, they probably used their own desktop or VPS, set up an MT4 platform and then test it out over a period of time. They only gave me 2 weeks. And that does not guarantee a sales.

Is that enough? No… it’s not… 2 weeks shows you $hit. If my Alfafah forex experiences was ever an example, two weeks without even backtesting it might prove deadly.

So how?

Again…. we need to backtest it, demo test it and then probably live test it OURSELVES. If it’s good, then buy the original.

Now… I am going to be a partly hypocritical here, of all the three EA, only FAPTurbo was legally bought by me. Cyborg EA was cracked and Xtreme was forwarded to me…

Yes… money is a bit tight for me. And as you can see… my bottom line has been messed up countless times. That’s the price I pay…

Having said that… Whatever my reason could be, I am going to make it up to these sellers and also to the potential buyers… You can download it from my library… back test it, forward test it and put it live… And if you are profitable, then I encourage you to buy the original…

For the EA that I used, I will give back what they call a rebate… or I will package it in such a way that you get maximum value for your purchase. I will need to figure out how to package it first. But it will be done…

My principles here needs to be fine tuned. So that everyone can be profitable…

I was really procrastinating doing this update. I am so ashamed and do not want to accept the fact that May 09 was not as profitable as I wanted it to be.

Plainly… it was again due to stupidity. Sighh…. oh well… it needs to be done so that I can review previous month and correct it again this month.

Here is my result for end May 09

On my previous post ‘3 Quiet Days ‘ I mentioned that I was pretty serious about forex business and should consider VPS (Virtual Private Server) to ensure that I do not miss any potential profitable trades especially with FAPTurbo…

I have been away on a holiday these past few days, and was very fortunate that my desktop and internet connection did not screw on me and my EA was trading very well for me. Raking profits while I am on holiday… ahh… such is life.

But before I went on holiday, I did a lot of research on VPS had sometime for somemore personal thoughts about this. Why?

Well, that is because of the monthly fee that I am going to incur. The best VPS in terms of service and $$$ is VPSLAND.COM not only recommended by http://ckowyong.com/blog/ but also by a lot of other forex community of having a good service and price factor. Now $18 bucks per month should be peanuts compared to a big account. But for an account like mine of total $3000, trading at mostly 0.1 mini lots… I am not sure…

Further more my IBFX account which is running Don Steintz seems to not been running well and some digging further into this EA, many revealing information has surface with regards to Don Steintz’s EA…

Anyway… while FAPTurbo has been very profitable on my Alpari account, my other account seems to be in the reds… So does this justify me commiting another $18 bucks per month?

So far I am up $300 on my alpari account this month… but in total together with all my other broker, I am only up $180. Thus, at the time of writing I am committing 10% of my profits just to ensure that I will be getting what…. erm… maybe 5 bucks per day… or less.

Don’t know… So until I can make some sense out of all this in terms of dollars and cents and reorganize myself again especially with Don Steitz’s EA, I will put my VPS search on my KIV tray…

Serious as I maybe in making money, I guess I have to be practically no??

Phew… I never knew demo-ing a few EA can be quite tough or rather tedious.

Well, I have been trying to demo test other so called Best Forex EA around to see if they are actually the ‘Best’ forex EA.

Ok, granted I am a scum because these forex EA are EA which I was able to download for free. Anyhow, scum as a scum can be, I needed to find out if it is actually as good as they say.

Initially I started out dumping a few EA on one demo account with different lot size as a way to identify if it was profitable at the end of my test period. But this is too tedious so I scraped that idea and a few weeks of demo testing.

Now I have open 6 demo accounts on three main broker that I believe to be interesting.

FXDD, Alpari and Masterforex.

I dismiss Interbank is because I notice, on other forex review, interbank does not seem to show very profitiable result for EA tested on them. My first hand experiences with Interbank with FAPTurbo also did not yield such encouraging results.
