Finally, my EA is working properly 90 % per month w/ med leverage ! - page 2

 

CSB

There may be some promise here - but as this is demo data, you would wish just a little more before going live with it, as:-

1) The shape of the graph is a concern

2) Profit factor is below 2.0

3) Drawdown is a little high

4) Consecutive win/loss ratio the wrong way round :(


None of these individually would be so crucial perhaps, but taken together, you could hit a very bad patch in live trading & lose all gains or worse :(

If this was live data, you might take a chance on these results - if they were for a longer period & greater number of trades...



My feeling is the EA has too few indicators or there's a wrong one in there?

Hope it works out though - it's a tough business!

Good Luck

Thanks for your comments.

Actually its a simple aproach,, It doesnt get along vey well with shoppy markets. No EA works well in all market situations, and as I mentioned before, its not a "grial"., buts its proving reliable and stable in a demo account,

The concept of this EA, its that it can take a beating. I may add another indicator. but th idea its to keep it simple.

As youn can see below, only 45% of the trades are successful. and its designed to do that (work with this win-lose ratio) ; improving this ratio would be the key and its my objetive.

Im yet to learn even more on how to improve it.

I´ve Limited the ammount of lots in this test.

Kind Regards

this doesnt seem too bad at least for a 3 months period..... I would want to share in your code if you wouldn't mind...my email is starlimit03@yahoo.com......
 
this system of yours seems to be having multiple lot size allocation....... I fear systems which multiple by a factor,the lot size as thay can be really heading for the rocks........
 
share with us then lol :D
