I will continue to allow this to run in my live account but only at maxlots=.01 just to see how far off the trading is compared to the demo acct.

I've been backtesting v185f on H1 charts for a few days and as others have reported, the results have been very good. But it is not a continuous p/l increase from day to day. Although it produced overall gains in all tests, there were periods of a few days to a few weekks that the p/l went down. As this Forex market is dynamic and all EAs react differently to market change, there is no Holy Grail of an EA. To forward test or trade live, this EA needs to be left alone and have "Faith" that the p/l will increase in the long term. Words are easy, actually trading an EA like this takes a strong constitution and like a good gambler, not afraid to lose some money.

The big question is; If backtest results can imply live trading results.

The EA needs to be both forward tested and live traded for a month and then compare those results and then compare again to the backtest results.

I hear you loud and clear.

Somewhere somehow there must be a way to trade that isn't such a gamble.

Let me know will you if/when you find/create it?

2006.09.29 00:17:59 CyberiaTrader_v1[1].88 GBPUSD,M30: invalid price 1.87520000 for OrderClose function

 

I have been running cyberiatrader v 1.88.2 on Daves Post #443 using his default setting except changing GMT to 0 as using Velocity4x which is the same as Interbank, only on EUR &JPY 1H timeframe since Sunday very good results, this demo account had about 5K in it using autolots true, exactly his settings, impressed so far, others versions and settings just don't work at least for me these results are consistant at least this week. Please delete the GBP trade from this report as I put this in and removed it promptly
