A lot of demos in the first post of this thread are running now for a longer time AND they are up ! However some other demos are already switched off. Mostly - it seems to me - these trading accounts are succesful doing the job.
But all of them show more or less long lasting flat periods or even DD phases. BUT: even after DD's, nearly all these accounts survive and all in all they move "northwards" step by step !
IMHO the main point for caution + patience using these bots is this volatile behaviour of the PP/PPoS ... and as I see it now better - of the ZP as well !. The balance + equity curves are sometimes heavily jumping up and down. That jumping behaviour causing losses of good gains made in the past of course could scare many traders and they may give up. But it seems in a long run the PP/PPoS/ZP bots may be winners, giving perhaps 10...20 % a month whereas suffering from a DD of approx. 10...20 % ?
