And this, boys and girls, is why you need sufficient beginning equity, and trading modest lot sizes, to trade these EAs. I'm sure many of the smaller accounts have been wiped out by now.

I just have a question regarding the effects on testing of the current situation (huge ranges, specially in GBP).
Since the retreats have not been happening, DD and open trades have been piling up, to more than the 250 trade limit on my GP demos.
This will mean that the testing will be "distorted" as this limits usually don't exist on live trading, but they do on demo.

How to tackle this, in order not to distort trading results and therefore the quality of the result data gathered?

Grumble at GP until they change this rule. They are on our side, after all.

Any comments, Jem?
