Anything Slopey related, even if only tangentially - I have no idea at this stage how, or even if, this thread will develop.

I have been able to demo all of the family using pretty much OOTB inputs, thanks to Eaymon's fabulous Power VPS (http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 103&t=5282), on Global Prime demos (http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =52&t=1475). Being able to demo everything I have produced lately is a new luxury for me, and worth every penny of the subscription.
I have written before that my personal Holy Grail is to produce an EA that can be left unattended on the tiny starter accounts that are all that most people can afford. I started the accounts with $300 before I remembered that GP's minimum deposit is $500 and changed to that. Griddy was too much for the original $300 and is not suitable for tiny accounts, so I restarted with a $1,000 deposit.
I am thrilled by this family. The only loser has been Moving. This lost from the start and continued to do so, so I stopped the demo and abandoned that member of the family.
Of the others, all are in profit and the only one not shut down and flat for the weekend is Crossy with retrace trading disabled. DD is roughly a third of banked profits - +542 closed with -192 still open. I am going to replace the current version with the Experimental, to see what impact that has. Of the rest, in pips since loading:
- Peaky: +1,654
- Griddy: +845
- Holy: +504
- Buddha +241
I am testing 5 versions of the Slopey family:
- Slopey Peaky Bob
- Slopey Buddha Bob
- Slopey Reverse Buddha Bob
- Slopey Griddy Bob
- Slopey Holy Bob
- Also available is the bot that started all this off - Slopey Crossy Bob, but it was a failure.
Peaky +8918
Holy +1281
Reverse +700
Griddy +290 but still losing cash - balance is $925 from $1,000 deposit
Buddha -904
