The EA has been doing great on my live microlots account, and has increased equity by 10% from London open till 11 am London time when I closed all the trades manually.
Restart again at 12 midday. Will be interesting to see the result at London close.
Everything OOTB. No issues with CPU overload. No bugs to report.
I would expect a great deal more interest in this thread in no time.
Many congratulations again on your great effort and generosity.

At London close today, the live microlot account is in the red by less than 0.05% of equity. It was up almost 2% from 12 midday to 3 pm, then retracements brought the account into negative territory. I have closed the pair in profit and leave three pairs to run. All in all, it has been a very positive day, not something I can say about other ea's I have tried before. From tomorrow, I will use Steve's MPTM to prevent a winning trade turn into a losing one (BE25+10 JS10).
I have also set up a demo on Cowboy IBFX 10K risk 2% and leaving it to run 24/7. It was launched at 12 midday today, the results attached below. As you can see, it was up 1.25% of equity balance at one stage but was in the red at London close. I have now added MPTM BE25+10 JS10.

Peter,
I am also following this EA with a similar strategy to yours with micro live Axi on a vps and 10k risk 2%demo on GKFX. I have followed NB strats for 2 yrs and look for strats that I can mange at weekend and an hour at London close during the week- heavy day job. I have also seen results 8% from last Friday retrace to 4% by mid week. Some quick questions.
1. Do you edit the pairs being traded and remove any like e.g Gold ! which I have never had much success with apart from on my finger.
2. Do you use any discretionary or indicators for S&R / TLs to influence the trade strategy on this EA or just rely on the Pivots?
3. Using Steve's MPTM - to avoid equity curve retracement thanks for the tip I assume keep stealth on - comment?
4. Have you done any single pair back testing on this EA?
Thanks Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Answers to your questions :
1. No, but so far no pending orders on gold or silver.
2. No, everything OOTB.
3. Only started using MPTM after London close yesterday.
4. No.
Launched v.1.07 at London open today, so far two open trades, GJ and AJ, both in profit. Yesterday, the remaining two pairs were closed at BE.
So far, this EA shows great promise. The only thing that is missing is stacking the trades, but I am very content at just taking profit at WR1/WS1 for the moment. I could easily add pending orders manually for stacking using the drop_pending_buy/sell scripts.
The Cowboy IBFX DEMO which I adopt a hands off approach, is not doing so well. So far, it is down 2.6% of account balance. It is early days, so need to reassess after more testing.
The EA is ideal for someone holding a full time job, and besides, the dashboard is well suited to someone wishing to trade manually. All in all, a great EA.
I have decided to stick to v.1.07, as using TmaTrue RSI(2) does use up more cpu resources. I am presently running v.1.07 on two Empty4 platforms on my laptop and so far with no problems.
Good luck with your trading.
peter
Edit : GJ and AJ longs closed manually for 4% of account balance profit. I really like Bob's idea of taking profits 2 to 3 hours into each trading session. Now, waiting for Wall Street open.
