Hi Dewey, milanese and other guys

I'm run this EA on my vps for some days, but the results are very different from those I see in your account Dewey. Apparently, there are differences depending on the broker, it can be ? no way to prevent this behavior ?

p.s. I made a mistake by closing a trade on A/U yesterday, my fault

While this may be helpful

Thanks for your works guys

Your settings are messed up. Please use the ones in the set file in post 1 (40)

Yes Dewey, when I started the EA I loaded the file settings posted by you in the first post. The EA has always worked with that set file until today (only yesterday I intervened manually on the EA). VPS works h24

I do another check now

Edit: so, I am sure, the settings have always been those of your set file. I noticed only 1 difference, in your setting file there is a voice "ALR_AutoTPandSL=false" that is not visible in the setting of EA. However, all other settings are correct

The issue may be your account size for your demo. You have a lot of trades that are just .01. Since you cannot go any smaller it might be messing up the calculations. For some reason, it is stopping and not proceeding through the turns

mmmh yes, this might be true, it depends on the settings that calculate the size of each entry

as you know, I want to try the demo with the same conditions (as possible) that there will be in real, so make no sense for me start a demo with 15K, simply because at first I will not have this sum for a EA

At this point, you suggest to try with a larger account, or maybe switch on New ALR Trade ?

This ALR using EA is not concepted for small accounts, there should be a minimal account size of 10k as it has problems to handle smaller accountsizes as the lot calculation will not work as intended.. at least with this EA as all calculations are optimized for accounts with about 10-25 k account size...

Cheers

Thank you milanese, I suspected this problem after playing with the ALR calculator. I think I'll open a new account for future purpose, if I get the chance to open an account of this size

Hi, there's one trade felt strange today.
It's 07.03.2015 10:53 AUDUSD Sell on the EA's open trades list.
As you can see on the chart, it's not a spike reason.

It should open sell order on the previous day's lowest price 0.7589 plus 2 pips space.
But as you can see, it open trade on 0.7558.
Could anyone explain this to me?

Regards.
