Big things are to remember:
  • Few of the ea's I code reach my demo trading machine
    Of those that do, few last for more than a few days
    Mostly, I release buggy code at an early stage of development. This one I hung onto until I was fairly sure the code was robust. Therefore, it had to spend even more time than is normal surviving on demo.
The results of this so far are the most outstanding of any EA I have tested on demo. As things stand at the mo, I have nearly 1% (of starting balance) closed trades; the open position has a positive upl that has gradually increased as the week progresses - currently at about 2.5%

All this an an Cowboy IBFX Aussie demo that means one pip movement = not very much, so the margin level has never been below about 3000% despite there being a lot of open trades.

This does not look good. It looks fantastic.

:D

Empty4 was probably downloading data while Graeme was doing his business.

Same thing happened to me, but not to that scale! Only one phantom trade while I placed G on a pair that didn't have all the data downloaded

I don't get paid by the download or anything, but...

The utility that I posted that checks to see the number of bars (among other things) for each currency pair forces a download of 2048 bars of data for whatever timeframe you drop it on. I just set up a new demo for Graeme this morning. Before I did anything, I ran the script a few times (once to start the download of data and the rest to monitor the progress).
