Busy joining IC Markets as an IB and will then give away this EA for FREE to anybody that create and fund an account at IC Markets. Their avg spread on this pair is 1.4 pips and commission is very low. This is an ideal broker for this EA! The package will be put together during the week and more information will be posted here shortly.

Building nicely on that equity curve as the week continues thanks to some bouncing during the Asian market, which was eaten up by this swing trader!

Notice in the chart attached how this EA did not trade during the breakout/waterfall type price action period. Normally you would find that swing trade type ea's will keep adding buy order during such a period anticipating that price must swing back up. This is also why many people do not like swing trades, because once a currency starts trending like this you start loosing... But, I have something special in the entry conditions that prevent this ea from trading during these conditions and adding to the losses. Notice how the ea only started trading after price settled down in a range again and banked 5 winners in a row.

So far so good!

I'm comparing my live trades to backtests in order to determine if the ea performs similar in live markets than in backtest markets. The attachment show my live trades as well as a backtest during the same period. So far the similarity in equity curves is good enough for me, but I'll keep tracking it on a weekly basis.

Yes correct, you have to sit through those, because this ea does not use an aggressive recovery strategy, which in the long run keep the draw down low and controlled.

Hi FXInvestFund,
i think with 12 USD / LOT Commission, you can never make Profit.

when you change your Broker, it get better in the Longrun.

Yes I agree. I need to find a broker with less commission, but same execution and trading conditions as HotForex.

Currently I'm considering IC Markets or JFD Brokers.

If Steady works for you I'm glad!

I had to make one or two small changes to SwingFX and we should see it recover from the dd shortly.
