I have been running this EA for awhile, and have similar problems too. The EA closed a few baskets for small profit. Then it opened a bunch of trades, got caught on the wrong side, and it is in heavy DD, more than -10% at the moment. It hasn't closed or opened any trades for a long time now, at least a week or two. Not sure how it will get out. I was actually thinking of trading this thing in reverse, LOL. But I must not be doing what Marcello is doing.

Mine is fairly OOTB, I think it is allowed to trade 24H, and I made some changes to increase the SL and increase the BasketTakeProfit, I think. I will need to go home and look at the exact setting, but I know I didn't change too much because I wanted to see what the EA is going to do before I start tweaking it.

Look, this is fun, I do not know what I am doing differently, I have a demo account on one platform and the results show, perhaps with other brokers it is not profitable, never in my life I would not use these settings live, it is fun to me .... ...

EA has lost ten of the base amount in 2856 ..............

For me there is only The Best and the EA I live and earn up to 20% per month!!

Did you mean The BeAst?

20% per month would be quite nice.... I've been up 20% in each of the last 3 months, and lost it all & more before the end of the month. :(

So it's trading OK. It's just not making any money. I haven't figured out Maciej's magic secret yet.

He says he's only trading 8-19 GMT+1. My crim is at GMT+3 so that would be 10-21 for me. If I look only at the trades entered in that window, my closed profits increase from 28 to 41. My open losses would still be there.

In reality, though, his one-month system report shows entries from 5:57 to 23:00, crim time. In his report the profits were distributed so:

< 06:00 5 trades, CHF 1129 profit (all entered on 3/12)
06-07 48, 13098
07-08 88, 25632
08-09 95, 31610
09-10 99, 36701
10-11 54, 21711
11-12 45, 14373
12-13 67, 15893
13-14 63, 20092
14-15 65, 21385
15-16 75, 20553
16-17 75, 31357
17-18 42, 8514
18-19 44, 11130
19-20 30, 5334
20-21 18, 7319
21-22 33, 8399 (includes 2 trades stamped 23:00)

So he got profits in all hours, though it dropped off a lot after 17:00 crim time. Most of the dropoff is due to "fewer trades," though. The profit-per-trade is reasonably consistent all day long.

I would really love to figure out what Maciej is doing differently. He's seeing very different results than I am!
Do you know what time his crim is using? The reference is at 6.00 (absolute time set to true) so we should know crim's time as well. All trades from one day are based on this time.

p3 = iOpen(symbol,PERIOD_M1,iBarShift(symbol,PERIOD_M1,StrToTime(AbsoluteTime)));

Look guys, if EA is dependent on the time, it is probably not very robust.

Well, I don't know how Maciej does it, but it's not working for me. I ran it on (I think) the same conditions, using his setfile, and it's lost 400 pips in the last 5 days. Unless someone can figure out what I'm doing wrong, I have to declare this experiment a failure.
