Post subject:  What's cuzgeorge demo testing?

I thought to start this up and make it easier to follow the various EA's from Steve's forum that i'm testing. I'm no genius at coding and hopefully this can be a way for me to add for what i get out of Steve's forum.

These are tested on a PC with normal problems that a normal system user will have to face at some stage, eg, internet disruptions, power, and PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair) issues.
Empty4 Terminals are evenly spread across my PC's and NO VPS is used.

Check the notes in the 'comment' section of the trades from the individual ea's.

I note all the changes i make to the EA along the way with a note and date of change in the 'general' tab section of myfxbook. Sometimes, the tab does not show all the changes due to lack of space, so i delete the older and let the newer show.

Sometimes, when time is up for a EA for whatever reason, (usually the EA is not profitable or showing progress or too many bugs), i cannot just open another demo any more, so i have to use what i have. -EDIT- 28 Sept 2013(will be starting new demos with GP from now on and leaving old data in its relevant account)
I change the date that fxbook thingy must read for the new EA, to the present date and therefore only new trades will reflect.
Try not to look at the gross amount, this is not always indicative of the tested EA.

A new EA is run for a week or two to see if it's worth posting before loaded here.

Sometimes, a link is posted in a thread and the above change will now reflect in a thread that's not relevant to the new EA.
This is the main reason for this TOPIC.

Following, are the demos running at the moment, Live account is now seperate and so is current E
A's being tested. Have fun and feel free to comment or ask whatever you like in the relevant threads.
I'm not trying to remove discussion in the respective threads, just to neaten up the demo results. This is very important to note.
If i've messed up somewhere on the demo (very possible), please reply to me here in this thread so we don't interfere with the EA's thread.

regards and good luck to everyone,
cuzgeorge

The List below is the original list with only the Blown or Stopped EA's tested. Use 'custom analysis' button to check each pair on its own, or view by magic number, comment, or by Start Date. Many options are available using this feature.

This list below is for the LIVE accounts....

And below is the new list of current EA's running in various test settings; (adding slowly)

Hi Gary,
i'm glad you like it. I hope the link becomes usefull as i'm about to add a serious load this week-end. My main settings will be visible and it should help others by trying something else and comparing.

Rebuilding my one system as i'm experiencing SSD failures this week, so must re-do over the week-end and will add a few i've not included like MA cross slopey and so on.

The markets.com is one of my live accounts. Wapen's (my fellow Joburger), old FR is running on it and a few manual trades i place now and again. A combination of those trades and some gold and silver BUY trades i took over the last 2 weeks. I also run megadroid on this account and my other live accounts. No trades on markets.com at the moment.

My manual positions come from staring at all these monitors with the demos and Alex's 10.2 and Baluda's multi screen.
I get trade-signal suggestions via sms from AVAfx, my other live criminal, and when i get them, i compare carefully to the above mentioned platforms and finally with a mod of Slowkey's intraday setup and NB's screen for confirmation.
Then i take a sip of coffee, think about it again, realllllly taking my time, and then i take the jump if all is still in favour of the suggested position.
This is a complete and stark-contradiction to how i used to trade before i 'met-up' with you guys here. Many blown accounts later and i hope i've learnt.
Thank you again for all you do here Gary,
cuzgeorge

Hello Cuzgeorge,
You are the shinning Star but Jemook is the Current Champion, we follow you guys behind and make a bit of a tiny Living just because you guys put in so much work into testing and Tweaking all the different Gizmo's aka Innovations for us all to stay one step ahead of the Criminals and big boys no matter what the Markets throw at us, folks like me would have given up trading the Forex Market ages ago but feel Inspired with the need to keep forging along since people like your good self come along and Simplify most automated processes .
Trading the markets with most of your tools just got better and to be honest I have come too far to even Consider giving up, Long Live Steve Hopwood, Baluda, Nanningbob and that my wonderful friend with the Indicator Lab who's on Par with Baluda, he's name keeps floating away from my Brain but we all know who you are.

Many thanks to you all for you guys make life very interesting for experienced traders and Newbees alike.

Happy Trading.

xrismak. :)

Does anybody know if there is a way to do backtesting when using one EA to enter the market and a trade manager like "MPTM" to exit the market?
