This EA is strange, right now I have two open trades that your system has open as well, only they are the opposite, sell AUDUSD and you have buy AUDUSD and buy GBPUSD and you have sell GBPUSD and you have a sell EURUSD trade that I do not have.

I have had it on since Monday, I am using ThinkForex VPS.

This EA seems to be broker dependent, can´t see why since it is not a scalper. Other multicurrency EAs give very much the same trades regardless of what broker you use.

yes, I've received this email today:
'
Hello,

I hope your having a wonderful day. Just in case
you didn't read the text file that was accompanied
by the zip file when you downloaded Fast Forex
Millions I would like to let you know what it said.

As this advice can help you manipulate the performance
of the robot for your broker.

FilterDepth setting in robot settings will range depending
on Dual Mode setting. (Info below)

When DualMode = true
Range: 0 - 1200

When DualMode = false
Ranger: 0 - 2400

Depending on your broker, and price feed and such, you
can control the sensitivity of the trade strategy to be safer
or less safer. If you find it's not trading well for you, you
can increase the filterdepth to the max number above between.
You can add 150 - 300 a week on the filters up to the max
range to improve results.

By doing this you are able to 'tune' the robot to your broker.

Best of luck!

FFM Team

yep, read the doc, you have to optimize the settings based on your real account and broker.
the default settings are not usefull for me, I have found 2 setups which appear to be interesting.
but its good only for my broker.

everybody has to run some back tests first to find the best settings.

Darn! Will have to see if I can do that correctly. Use the appropriate data feed...

It's been quite a while since I've done a back test.

Birt, I assume you didn't adjust the FilterDepth to your broker...?

you have to use your borker's data feed.
90% is enough, apparently I have the same trades in back test compared to the really account.

run the test during the day when the spread is 'normal' to make sure everything is correct.
I run the back test for 1 year only, longer sometimes I think its not usefull because the test was 'corrupted' by trends which are not actuals.

we'll see... :)

hi birt,

what settings are you using on this account? Are you using default?

Thanks in advance

Nope, I didn't touch anything beside the risk setting.

Other than risk, yes. Pretty much as I described on https://eareview.net/live-forward-test/fast-forex-millions

Judging by what many people are reporting so far, this EA seems to be highly broker dependent and even more so, it also depends when you start it due to the trade frequency and trade count limitation. What I am saying is that if you start it right now on brokerage X you will likely have different trades if compared to someone who started it on the same brokerage but several hours earlier.

incredible differences between the accounts!
for example, the latest AUDUSD close trade was a buy for you and another demo account, while it was a sell on another one.

I got nothing due to a huge bug:
if the risk calculation calculates a lot size lower then the minimum for the account, the EA try to open the trade using this low lot!!!!
there is no security in the code to make sure the calculated lot is supported!!!!!
so my trade was rejected because 0.05 lot is lower than the 0.1 minimum...
ouch... huge bug which every dummy does... but them...

yes, finally some good trades :)
USDCHF (I'm still convince this currency will be great) and GBPUSD
in non hedge and optimised mode for my account.
