I just run the same test on my PC (the other test was on my VPS)

And the speed is ope 0, modify 0, close 0

Incredible!

So my VPS sucks big time !

my mistake

My PC

open125 -modify 141 -close 156

At the (VPS 0,66ms) on a pair of euro dollar on real account work fine, on other pair did not set.

On a demo account from PC (speed 55.6ms) on the euro and yen and pound today’s loss of a 10% deposit.

Hello,

This order's execution time some slow. For better results I recommend to use VPS, ping at least 5 - 15 ms, the faster the better. It is important moment that helps fix quick market profit movements.

Regards!

   Hello,

   Yes, I attached setfiles 

   Hello,

   Thank you! Now price still low, but in a few days it will  significantly rise.

   Best regards!

Hi there, I have a few questions:

When is a signal coming out?

1. I think it will help differentiate between errors on the individual set up of the users and normal losses of the system

2. Creates some accountability 

3. It doesn't have to have a lot of money (Just put 500 USD on it and let it be) but it shows you trust your system and calms the general anxeity of those of us who also already believe in your system by giving us a general idea of how it is going. (Even if VPSs, Broker's excecution and Yada Yada make some trades different)

4. Creates a time record and can help all of us identify maybe times where the EA has had larger drawdowns or greater profits 

I really like the concept of this EA, that's why I think having a signal on it would improve this service, I say this kindly and in good faith

Thanks,

Hello,

Sapphire is very good system that works well on my main account and there are no problems with signal. At nearest soon I finish all details with broker and start sapphire's separate monitoring. 

Best regards!  

   Hello, 

   Number of trades depends on market and can be avg. 3 - 15 trades per week. I will also think about other tools and I'll inform as soon as I finish testing.

   Regards

i have 2 loss too 

Hello,

Really today was loss trade at eurusd 1.13871 and according to market it is logical due price hit order and next moment quick retrace back about 20 pips. Some DD is a part of any system, even at tester we can see loss happens, but total results is good profit.. just trade according classical MM rules and keep risk 2 - 3% per trade. EA Sapphire is well coded middle term Ea with good risk management and the planned profitability is 35 - 50% per year.  

Regards!

Sharing the results is the one of the best way to help each other and also Author to solve problems and improve the EA, specially when the EA is new it is more important to sharing the results, 

and Author dont sell this EA for free, we pay money and we expect some good results, this is not a gift which made us thankful, 

by the way, Im little disappointed when the author said it is profitable near 35-50% per year, I hope he improve it for more gain.

Hi all, it is interesting to view all the components affecting the performance of a trade to understand some of the hidden variables. Too often we only look at the VPS speed, however in most cases all of us are using a VPS that has a latency of under 5ms to our respective brokers server. The reason why I asked Fanur to looking into coding the speed test was for us to understand our brokers performance. Not all brokers will necessarily have the same technology behind their trading servers in terms of execution speed and not all brokers will play fair 'A book' 'B book' etc.

However, if we are able to get a better idea of the trading conditions at each broker for a breakout EA then at least we can be confident that we're giving the EA the best trading conditions for it to be successful outside of the EA strategy itself. If you find out that your brokers performance isn't good enough to run a breakout EA then at least you can make an informed decision about looking into the potential of opening up another broker account for these types of EAs or just to saving yourself losing money by not running the EA when the trading conditions aren't in your favour.

The key thing here is about making informed decisions i.e. is your VPS good enough? and is your broker good enough?

For us to move forward with this I think we need to determine what 'good' trading conditions look like... The recommended values below are open for discussed but based on my findings across 3 brokers, IC Markets, TickMill UK and FxPrimus

Suggested VPS to broker server = <5ms (under 5ms) - Good

Brokers performance:

• Open time - <150ms (under 150ms) - Good
• Modify time - <150ms (under 150ms) - Good
• Close time - <150ms (under 150ms) - Good
• Stop level - 0 pips - Excellent

Now obviously the lower ms the better, however do trading conditions lets say under 50ms even exist unless you have a special arrangement with a broker? Hopefully if we can get everyone to test their brokers performance then we can get a better idea of what the retail trading accounts offer in terms of performance. We may well find that its best to open multiple trading accounts at difference brokers for different types of EA e.g. Scalpers, Breakout EAs etc.

My findings so far on live accounts:

ICMarkets - IC Markets Live04 - ForexVPS (Live04.NY.04 - 1.34 ms)

Brokers performance:

• Open time - 146ms
• Modify time - 145ms
• Close time - 229ms
• Stop level - 0 pips

TickMillUK - TickmillUK-Live03 - ForexVPS (Live DC12 - LD4 - 69.34ms)

Brokers performance:

• Open time - 177ms
• Modify time - 135ms
• Close time - 166ms
• Stop level - 0 pips
