Hi,
This might seem like an odd request but ..
Have any of you come up with what seemed a good strategy for an EA bot, tried it, and then it just failed?
If so, I would like to see what you've done. If you would be willing, can you email me the bot to take a look at it.
Mulling on a theory I have about reversing results.
Regards,
Martin

Steve,
If you are interested, I have attached a monitor indicator that I wrote. It basically counts the incoming ticks and then compares the number of counted ticks with the volume of the tick(which is nothing more than the number of ticks sent out by the broker). The indicater converts this to a score out of 100(ie %). Just place the indicator on a 5M chart.
My VPS typically runs at about 95% on average which means that I lose about 5% of my ticks. My home computer runs at closer to 70%
As you indicated, this would be currency specific but used on a bus......

Hi, I am new to this site so this is more of an introduction.
I have been programming EA's on demo accounts and live accounts for 6 months now.
For your information, those of you who program an EA and do a back test which reveals the mountains of pips your bot can collect... don't trust it. Back tests are different to live tests. And also, live demo tests are different again to live real money tests.

Your Wrong. Make a proper and extensive research before conclusion . 6 months is a very short time in the world of program......

Yeah back tests are not reliable. So much can affect them.
If you want accurate results test your bots on a live demo account.

Raaj, thanks for you advertisement but I am capable of EA programming myself.

The environments are different and I've found this has different consequences.
At first, my EAs were running with huge profits on a backtest, even with over 95% accuracy on the test, but come ......

I have a VPS running in America and I frequently run 10+ metatrader installations testing out different EA I've programmed. Works fine with no problems. Metatrader 4 uses relatively low amounts of RAM as well so don't worry too much about that. - Martin
