Its a pity - but all settings with the SB bot dont work.
Switch them off all and wait a new start with the new multipair version Steve is coding recently.

Hi chaps ! :hi:
I removed the matilda test acc's with AUDUSD + AUDCHF into the archiv TGTFX2.

So, for the matilda only these ones are left atm as possible diversification partners: EURNZD, NZDCHF, EURCHF and perhaps even the NZDJPY. All the others tested create sooner or later high DD's: long lasting nasty and dangerous situations !
It seems zentauro running the oldest matilda demo account is now in trouble - his account is a good lesson to learn. Although he doesnt use to much pairs the DD's of some of them bring the whole acc into deep DD's !

That may happen in any moment. So look two of my demos with GBPUSD:
http://www.myfxbook.com/members/MANDL20 ... 25k/941967
and
http://www.myfxbook.com/members/MANDL20 ... -5/1014612 !

The first account got married with AUDUSD at the end of september: exactly beginning from that time all the fu...ng trouble began. In case of the second account I carelassly even started with (only !) two pairs: the favorite GBPUSD + AUDUSD. That account is lumbering slowly up waiting the divorce from AUDUSD. So think twice bevor adding a second pair into a matilda account.
Here is another - better - example of a long running (start at may 2014) matilda demo: I didn't add any additional pairs - its now chugging along quietly and certainly earning pips every day and week without high DD's.

Waiting what the new SBB will do next week !

Finally ! At last !
I jumped into the SBB, so a demo for this bot is now added into my portfolio.
Furthermore I started another demo with the "Stochy Bob" - a silent or even unhurried guy !

Watch out for the quiet ones

:hi:

So, another trading week is other now !
And we can celebrate a nice anniversary ! Matilda is running half a year now doing her best - great

I started her exactly at 07 may 2014:
http://www.myfxbook.com/members/TGT_FX/ ... -5k/913926
Since that time she did a pretty good job.
AND: all the time she was alone (GBPUSD only) - now I decided: she needs a companion. So today she got married !

Her husband is: EURNZD ! This guy did a fantastic job so far:
http://www.myfxbook.com/members/MANDL20 ... 30k/985789
He is worthy to live together with Matilda's GBPUSD ! Let's hope in 9 month they'll have a baby

The whole Matilda story is in the MFXB account "MANDL2007" documented.
http://www.myfxbook.com/members/MANDL2007

All the testing with the Matilda is undertaken with the Matilda for GBPUSD + 4 other well running pairs: EURNZD, NZDCHF, NZDJPY and EURCHF.
So far things are going a the right way.
Interesting result you may watch for this 5 months old acc:
http://www.myfxbook.com/members/MANDL20 ... 25k/941967
The Matilda at this account got a boyfriend - AUSUSD - after doubling the acc balance. But after the start of that ardent friendship - some trouble began. Perhaps it seems they didn't get along well with each other and they do not understand each other good enough ? Immediatley some higher DD occured after starting this partnership.

So we see it again: running the Matilda with more then one pair isn't a good approach.
Adding only one more pair may bring the account in serious trouble. So what about running the bot with 5-6 pairs ?
Look here zentauros acc - not so much pairs are included, but enough for creating very high DD's:
http://www.myfxbook.com/members/zentaur ... lda/819377
(It seems zentauro gave up already ? No activity for this EA acc is detected during one month !)

So a last, third post for today.

What about the other EAs in testing ? I dont have them to much now. They all have been started only after waiting their bugfree status and reading in the threads about first promising results.
The 2 last bots Jose coded are running well, although they show (again) some tendency to developing the GTG ("Grid Trading Gap"). But its to early for drawing any conclusions.
I jumped into some proven "Thingy Bob EA's" - so far so good.
(Btw, I like this silent guy: http://www.myfxbook.com/members/TGT_FX/ ... 32/1068258).
Watching a Pipcruiser's Pipmasher account as well.

Someone asked me about the Matilda, the settings and so on .... you may find all the stuff you need here in SHFX.com or in the attached file !
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=5&t=3267
ALL CREDIT GOES TO Jose - a great coder AND a great person !

:hi:

P.S.: I use the same settings for all pairs ... perhaps thats the reason of failing for many pairs ... the attached setfile is a result of optimization for GBPUSD !
The bot to use together with the Matilda setfile is: "Blessing 3 v3.9.6.08Mod3.1" !!

Hi chaps ! :hi:

Some little changes have been made.

The only succesful bot on my VPS is still the Matilda (no changes here !). And consequentially she is so far the sole candidate for live trading .... but a grid trader .... :youknow:
(Ahh ... and yes: the NZDJPY Matilda acc created a big DD .... so this one is moved into the archive !

ATM I use the Matilda with these pairs: GBPUSD, EURNZD, EURCHF (yep, the AUDUSD was included some time ago, but not sure about this pair, although its doing a satisfying job ... so far !) / furthermore I'm watching the NZDCHF pair)
Perhaps in some weeks the Stochy Bob could be started on the VPS as a second candidate for live trading. But it's to early yet for a final decision.
I started another silent bot like the Stochy Bob - "Pipcruiser's Pipmasher". BUT: dont have clear ideas about the best settings for this bot. But it looks so far promising !
Experimenting with the SBB, have satisfying results. But it seems to me others here are also in an experimental state concerning the SBB.
The 2 bots Jose coded last time - "Colleen Bollinger IX" and the xMeter "!xmeter HGNP 3" - unfortunately show the "GTG" again

("GTG" = "Grid Trading Gap" - the gap ocuring between the balance and equity curves, orange + red lines in the MFXB acc pictures)

Cheers
