The hugh DD(=119000$) :) is from the emergency-stop at 2012-08-15, but this will never be a set and forget ea. ;)

Maybe you can avoid this by lowering the Lotsize and max the max.Trades, for that everybody can make a backtest and see whats happening.

Hi Banzak

I am currently running 1.04 through the strat tester, it is looking great. Will do more testing this weekend.

I will post the results once it is ready.

Thank you again for providing us with this EA.

Hi jako,
I don't know how you managed that, but you downloaded the source of the forum-source into my ea.
Thats the reason why you get errors. Go to post #1 and download it by left-click and try again.

Banzak

Hi fxau,
great that the results are confirmed, if you get a stable setfile, please send it to me.
Why i shouldn't share my ea here? There is no reason for me, if somebody make money with it, I think I will get a donation.. ;) If not I will also have money cause of it - so it's always a win-win-situation.

Banzak
