Hi Lou,

First off, Feliz Cumpleanos!!!

My first question is what is the lowest someone can start with this EA?

second is, Do you have a pdf or guide for your EA explaining the properties (inputs).

Thank you for all your hard work and I hope you've enjoyed your birthday.

God bless!

Thanks to José for this interesting EA.
Thought I would test it on a small $300 account at the start of last week, running V4 OOTB, results so far:

Current Balance = $490.00
Current floating loss = $185.00

Lets see how it goes next week.. :good:

Please test on the long run before.

Thank You

LOL, had half a laugh ...

Agreed, maybe Prem's English language skills need some improvement, though not sure he meant any harm.

However, I do believe testing on the same amount you can afford to see disappear is critical. And most people cannot afford 10000 units of whatever currency to vanish. Not even 1000, not these days.

We should rather encourage people to test with 300 then make them false promises with 10000 they cannot afford to lose.

Unless we wish to become like those folks in Israel and their BO companies ...

No problem to test with 300$ but how can you handle the DD with 300$ where you need
1000$ for each 0.01 lot traded ? :arrrg:
Demos are there for testing and I believe on GP to have same results on demo vs real but you
do what you want with your pennies.

Don't have something against Sniper.... it is the prem comment that is funny.

Sniper, nice to see your test on real.
Have a look to the BEP setting because it was 3 pips on v1 and had a lot of little profit then
corrected on v2 and v3 because BEP was 20 pips.
OOTB v4 BEP is 3 pips

I may test both settings next week, will keep you updated ;-)
