Hi, I decided to remove my myfxbook links as they are not part of the prescribed method, I will be publishing a new 4h TF link, once I have one set-up. Anpar |

You're right. Dollar profit for those pairs confirms that the movement (earnings) more than makes up for the spread. Was just curious, thanks for the feedback Cheers |

Hi there Charles, if we do not change the magic number for these exotics, will the EA still trade them? I'm sorry, I don't really understand the whole magic number thingy... Thanks, Hannes |

HI Hannes, Magic number works so each currency has its own unique number for that trade station. The EA needs a magic number so if you are running multiple EA's on the one trade station there won't be any magic number conflicts, and with conflicts you get the EA behaving badly - closing trades early, or two currencies closing the trades at the same time if both numbers are the same. There are many many different ways for the magic number to work from asking the EA for a random number for each currency or by how my ea was designed (by someone else) as I show you via code underneath. There is a reason why some exotics have not been coded in and that has either been because of forgetfulness or very high spread. Given that this EA works on a long term basis the spread shouldn't play too big a part in the overall profitability etc. I hope the code posted underneath shows how the magic number works and shouldn't go against the decompile issues that this EA has (stolen property etc). Also, if there are enough requests I can add more magic numbers into code as there are a handful I have not added. Enjoy the journey as this EA has let me do that. Regards, Charles. Code: Select all |

Obviously the SEBGRID is now in big big trouble ! All 3 versions are going out of steam ? Time to say good by ! Bcz only results of continously trading are a proof - I have no hope for this ... sad but true ! |

Yip, it has been difficult, but, I feel that this might be good, so that we can see how the EA performs during these "difficult" periods. The question might be how much equity is enough to trade with this EA successfully? Example, my "aggressive" version of the EA, using higher lots has / is pretty much cooked, but, the other more conservative version is still going on...so, we will see I suppose. H :hi: |

Honestly to say - I look at all this without any emotions. ONLY results itself are importent ! :youknow: AND: getting bad results like now is a sign for abandoning the bot, bcz sooner or later the time will come it will go deeper and deeper into DD's until getting the MC ! Have no confidence in bots after getting results like these now bringing the SEBGRID in serious trouble ... even if the acc will survive: I'm in doubt ! AND: where are a lot of other oportunities out here ! OR: is where any really strong argument or reason verifying a superiority of the SEBGRID ? If yes - any further testing is worth it ! :hi: |

@Spider X - the Matilda can do it ... with GBPUSD at least (and perhaps some others ?) ! |

@Spider X - this bot, following Charles, could give good results even in trend + flat markets, it isn't a typical grid trader ... following Charle's earlier posts. |
