As usual i post here my test demo results from one of my VPS:

Attached my results (and settings) so far with this ea.

H4 history is more significant since is from the 27/10. H1 account is started from 14/11.

Both with default settings + MM with Risk set to 1.0 .

Both the test demo accounts are running 24h/24h on a VPS and both the Empty4 have the main 28 Forex pairs up.

Both the accounts are in the red zone, the ea is NOT profitable approaching the 2 months period.

To be honest i'm starting to be a bit suspicious about how is possible that people are claiming positive results with this type of ea observing such poor performances on my mt4s instead. The first explanation that come in my mind is the different amount of pairs but is still strange since i have seen that alot of people use the majority of the "classics" 8 main pairs combinations like i do in my tests, still weird anyway.

Let's see the next weeks.

See Steves comments about that midway down page 95

As said many times before...different brokers give different results!

I haven't checked recently as I've been busy, but last time I did check I was up over 15% on my live account after 3 months trading. You can be as suspicious as you like, but what would I (and others) gain by lying? The EA is free! The only money I make is from the trades the EA takes on my live account, there is no gain for me from anything else unless you think it is my ego which is getting inflated?

......but what would I (and others) gain by lying? .....

Oh no ! NO ! I think that's not the point ! NO ONE would/should you or others blame for lying !!!

All what you and Steve are doing here and other traders too is brilliant !

I think the key question is another one. YES - of course, all we know different brokers - different results !
Ok ! So that's not a new finding.
But at the end that doesn't really help.
Let's think by another, peaceful, friendly and constructive way - what to do to resolve the prob ? At least to get a small chance for people not having success: the "winners" could with utmost precision (!) describe what they are doing: the bot version, the broker, the start time, the time zone, the exact settings (oih Steve will spank me) ....
May be that could be a little help/starting point for the poor devils ...

Hi friends,

Apologies, just found a mistake in my code and uploaded a new version.

Code: Select all

               if(useLowerTf && Period()!=FastMaTdPeriod)
                  OffSet=iBarShift(Symbol(), FastMaTdPeriod, Time[cc]);

Should be

Code: Select all

               if(useLowerTf && Period()!=FastMaTdTF)
                  OffSet=iBarShift(Symbol(), FastMaTdTF, Time[cc]);

http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 151#p83151

Also now SpotdespotCandleCloseTf is default to 0, so this feature is activated properly on all timeframes.
Please download this new version as the intended useLowerTf function will not function properly in older version.
Apologies for the many changes.

Please remember to enable useLowerTf on 1h or lower charts.


Cheers

Hi All

I don't have any results for this month, re 'Blue Screen of Death' attacked my Comp. early in the month. Believe it to be Win 1.8 Update. So I'm sending this from an old concrete mixer I retrieved from the basement.

A Blessed Christmas to all and remember in the words of Dellboy 'next year this time we'll all be millionairs'.

I have more than 10 years of experience in this business, "different brokers give different results" is a very famous sentence and excluding scalper systems this sentence is commonly used and abused to hide a loser system. According to the logic behind this ea there should be very few significant discrepancy between results with different brokers and their feeds/spreads, since this is a system which take very precise positions with alot of pips in TP and SL and a fixed logic.

I assume that as you are a smart-arse know-it-all that you didn't bother to read my post a while back where I explained that not only do different brokers = different feeds = different results, but that two platforms trading the same charts and the same EA with the same broker = different results.

Not wildly different, but the fact is that two platforms identical in every way do not always take the same trades. And you seriously do not believe that different market-makers with their differing agendas, repertoire of nasty tricks and candle open times makes a difference to results? Wow. Breathtaking.

To be honest i'm starting to be a bit suspicious about how is possible that people are claiming positive results with this type of ea observing such poor performances on my mt4s instead.

I will let you get away with this, but be warned. Shelley and I have put a lot of time into all this. I will delete your account if I even begin to suspect you are accusing us of dishonesty.

That was quite generous of you Steve. The Christmas spirit must be in you today. I was chuckling when I thought of the "Hopwooding" that certain to come his way.

My previous reminded me that I have not posted my results here for a while.

Here are my overall results for the last month. This is an Cowboy IBFX Aussie micro account, trading my version of BASA on the H1 charts:

Decent pips profit but tiny cash loss. This was because of a few trades hitting my full 100 pip stop loss drowning out the profit made by all those trades that half-closed then retraced to their BE stop.

I turned things around in the last couple of weeks - as soon as I went to a 50 take profit. Breakeven +5 at +30.

Modest results I know, but I am trading the H1 instead of the H4 as Shelley's system demands. It has been modestly profitable with Cowboy IBFX on the H1 when it was not on the H4. I am happy with the bot's performance in the last couple of weeks. I shall continue in the same vein at the start of 2014 and look forward to seeing how my three GP demos will stack up against one another.

Hehe. Actually, the Christmas Spirits are indeed already within me, so I decided to hold back on the blast I felt he deserved so that my antake of incohol would not cause me to make over-judgmental statements.

I try not to deal with irritation when under the affluence. People tell me I can be prone to over exaggeration if I do so.

Obviously they are completely wrong.
