I will put it to the test and report back :hi:
If you can show something with potential, then you will not need to pay for the EA.

The problem is that only the robot can verify the potential. In the original there is 8.62% per month :).

Then the OP is stuffed. All you are making here is an assertion. Nobody with any experience is interested.

Here are the two thingies that experienced coders insist upon before coding an EA whose trading system they have not themselves evolved - the Slopey family for example, or HGB'nT et al. The two thingies sub-divide, so here goes:
  • Unpaid for the work:
    • An accurate trading specification. Not woolly, "Read this stuff here...." or, "Perhaps you have some ideas about this....."
    • Evidence that the trading system works. "It made 8.5% last month" does not hack it as 'evidence' in our jaundiced, cynical and world-weary eyes. We just assume you are an idiot. We are invariably proven to be correct
  • Paid for the work: a spec that does not rely on us reading the commissioner's (usually non-existent) mind to divine what said commissioner actually wants. Demanding to be doing so has led me to tell more so-called 'commissioners' to fuck off and die than you might imagine. Or perhaps not. :lol: It cost me the occasional $100 but was well worth aborting the agony of a long drawn out and inevitable end.
patmontes 'gets' this. I am merely explaining it to you for your benefit.
