Super Low spread is key to MDP, wihtout it your robot wont even trade, if your broker has plugins then another reason it will lose a lot. And your latency with the server must be fast or it cant modify entries which is also key, so the robot itself I think is fine, its other outside elements that can make it bad for some. Losing more than winning isnt relevant in the case of MDP, from my experience if the R:R is good with sound Money Management, which MDP has both of, then you can lose quite often and still remain profitable, same with manual trading. Most fail because they fail to grasp how......

For those that want to copy someone elses successful formula then the guy running MDP 1.1.6 I think has been very generous showing his settings, I wouldnt and wise to keep his broker under wraps. Drawdown at over 19% is a little heavy for me, but at 5% risk your turning the wick up a bit, so to be expected. Its working for him and he has had the enjoyment of withdrawing 8K...well done my friend, nice This is the reality of trading if you have the correct setup, Patience, perservence, hard work and a decent strategy

Why do you always blame the EA? Sometime you need to think harder and learn about forex and the markets and who has control over what, like your broker for example can influence things. Do you think that its just as easy as plug and play....it should be I agree, but its not, theres money at stake. Some people are clearly having success, so then you have to ask the logical question what are they doing that you are not.....is it.............. EA settings (MDP Recommemd Default) Broker Influence Internet issues connection speed (latency) Using VPS Spread EA response time to order mod......

Try and find an ECN with no requotes and no plugins.....plugins can be added by the broker to screw up what makes the robot work initially, so find one that dosent use them. Also a broker that is local and has there live server near you, ie the same country would be a good start, if your working from your own PC or maybe consider a VPS. Me personally I prefer my own set up on own PC and like the control I have because of that.
