Hi, the problem is that I also was making some tests and set the EA to trade fixed lot sizes at a big size and if you combine with a extremely volatile day this is the result, normally it was not going to lose not even half of that amount, I'm to blame for that, to trade fixed lot sizes on all piars can be more profitable and more dangerous.

I'm going to restart a forward test using Alpari UK, there will be both demo using conservative settings, one will use the Money management and the other fixed lot sizes.

I'll also open a live account with ATC Brokers, I'm not convinced completely with the performance at JadeFX but JadeFX is a good Broker specially for manual trading.

Regards,

the recent losses occurred across many different brokers for this EA. nothing to do with jadeFX, saw reports from other fxbooks and mti sites of primeval on brokers such as FXopen, tadawulf and Fxpro, all similar results.

scalpers just do not work well this month i guess..

On the 27th of March I wrote on the EAKAIN discussion page:



'Actually, I see no great future for all these, to the Asian session limited, scalpers.

Since hundred of thousands wannabe 'traders' jump with their purchased EAs on the 'lets the shit scalp out of the Asians' bandwagon, we see more often (false) breakouts and higher volatility as usual. Brokers and other big dogs ain't goofies.

That's the reason why all the sellers of these EAs have to adjust and update their products almost on a weekly basis. Its a rat race against the time

I know, recent losses happened to ther Scalping EAs too, about JadeFX I'm just not convinced how trades are not closed where they have to be with 'Trade Context is busy' and things like that, that's all, I've forward test it with ATC Brokers and the EA seems to be much more active and profitable with this Broker so I'll give it a try io0n a live account.

Could anyone tell me how does the EURUSD_GBPUSD_Hedging_Strategy work if I activate it? If you can give me a descriptive example or an example in your demo/live account, it's greatly appreciated. And would you activate it in the Asian session?

I activated the EURUSD_GBPUSD_Hedging_Strategy for EURUSD and GBPUSD respectively for more than one day. For the EURUSD, I have tons of sell trades and no hedging buy trades. For the GBPUSD, I have tons of buy trades and just one hedging sell trades. I don't know why it's called a hedging strategy if we don't have any or enough hedging positions. I am curious and can anyone give me some hints?
