my journey can be measured in years and several times along the way, I wondered if I was squandering my time persuing something I might not get. my latest ea is kind of working - it is the B account at this link. https://www.ibfxconnect.com/profile/serpentsnoir/B/stats the other accounts two are variants.
It was very interesting looking at your account. Thanks for the link! I looks like you got a good EA if it is making 30% in almost a year. That is pretty darn good in my opinion.

If it is any consolation, I have been coding several EA's for the last 6months and one is now live. The live EA has been profitable since it's inception. =) So, keep your head up!
Happy Trading.
You have a keen eye. The "loss" this month is open trades. 95% have closed to profit. It is grid trading without a stop loss. Yes, I know it is risky, and I have made some improvements since last November when I started it. The idea here is to hold them until they close. We can start a new thread to talk about it rather than getting into the detail here. I just wanted to respond to the original question about how long it takes to get profitable.
28% loss this month isn't so good though.
Oh, didn't see that. I guess every EA will have its down moments, just as long as it finishes in the positive!

Thanks for the comment. Glad to here it is possible to become profitable within 6 months.
@Ickyrus - Yeah, It is crazy how many tests he did.
I also heard that it takes 10000 hours to become an expert at something. I'm sure it applies to programming expert advisors, indicators, ect. I heard it took Bill Gates 10000 hours of programming before he could program windows. I wonder if anyone here would say they have spent 10000 hours programming and trading forex! Everything good comes with hard work.
