I don't see the reason why the trades differs, because all of the brokers should have the same prices, don't they?
First of all i would be greatful if you could tell me why when i try to download history there are empty spaces? I have break between January and March so i can't do the backtests :-/ I'm searching but can't find the question. The history is downloaded from metaquotes anyway, so i don't think it is anyhow connected with my broker (i tried to download it on another broker and there's a gap too 😡).
I's about the product CFD. I tryed to understand why a difference and i forgot sorry, it's a technical stuff but do not really worry about that you just have to accept it,you won't be abble to change anything about it (unfortunatly...) as a little private.
I do not know a lot of stuff about backtesting and i never tryed to really understand that because backtesting with MT4 are known as not reliable for specialist (it's what i heard about it). I have to work on it in the next month. Main problem is to get a good and reliable historical database. That's where everything start from...

I took the history from alpari history center, and the results for 2011 year doesn't differ so much with the FGB results (monthly it would be about 15 pips total less, but yearly it would be even more than FGB gained). In 2012 my backtest results says that calculating it monthly i would get 1595 pips, yearly 1402 pips, while FGB gained on his account already 1372 pips.
After this calculations i guess some trades may differ, maybe those few last of them were just an example...
We'll see the results then with my broker.
And coming back to my questions..
I asked about leverage because I want to keep the same risk ratio and avoid margin call.
I hope that this EA will work fine on VPS.

However, If it would be a difference with the brokers then the Backtest with hard set values would effect with exactly the same trades like FGB has. But it doesn't, i have the same results in backtest for the last week (or two) that appeared on my account.
Maybe the point is in 5 digit brokers ...
Of course i agree that broker who disconnects client may affect trades results (unfortunately mine does it sometimes, i don't know why, i will have to talk with them, but hopefully FGB isn't active that much so i think it shouldn't be affected).

Not at all. There isnt a physical exchange like with stock trading for Forex. Brokers have different liquidity providers and last prices at a given point in time are slightly different between them. You just have to see any broker as one single exchange. Thats why signals are not exactly the same between brokers.

It depents. If you do backtests with data taken from MT, then you would get the same results no matter what broker dedicated MT4 you use. The pure data source disconnects shouldnt be s problem, since FGB wouldnt lose control over open positions. Only if MT4 would competely shut down, like when your VPS does a reboot positions get lost.

Since the last trade (29-05-2012), the EUR/USD fell more than 170 pips, and the robot has done nothing because the volatility has not reached the level to activate it.
Big pity not have took advantage of that big movement.
I think that this robot has much to be improved yet...

How about we apply a neuro network EA to FGB? Read more:
https://blog.iticsoftware.com/2012/05/24/forex-neural-net-filter.aspx
It costs $800 to integrate this EA (good for two computers). So I'd like to propose that we gather 8 interested traders and each pay $100. If the project is successful, later on each trader can have his own EA integrated and pay the extra amount. If the project does not reach success in improving the EA, each loses $100.

Sorry I don't fully understand your proposal. Can you be more specific ? I've worked with neural networks before (not in trading) and i know a bit about them, but I dont understand what do you wish to do exactly.

Bladerunner, did you read the article on the link I posted? Integration with NN filter made the TFOT improve results (on backtest) from a profit factor of 1.52 to 1.90. If the same can be accomplished for FGB, we could maybe improve FGB performance by 25%.
Note that I said 'if'. I am threading on new waters here. I have traded many robots, but this is the first time I get into this promise of neural network filter. By the way, NeoTradeFx has NOT been able to deliver good performance based on NN: https://eareview.net/live-forward-test/neotradex

I'm bemused as to why people aren't happy with FGB's performance. This EA relies on a solid trading methodology and backtests well over a sustained period of time. It's simple, put some money in an account, leave it for several years to compound. Retire.
That is of course providing the Euro lasts that long ;)

totally agree with you steve about fgb ,i think the euro will not be shut but only diminished ,certain banks told that they won't let it go under 1.20... like the chf following up on this one

If they can improve performance to even make it better why shouldn't they try?
When you bought FGB, you got what you paid for. It is a customizable expert advisor. It is you that can do the improvement, to adapt it to various market conditions (volatility, momentum etc.) should you know what those settings are about... SO forget the vendor's further intervention regarding the performance. Their job is to keep FGB bug-free, to update it in line with MT4 updates and protect it against decompilers...
Good luck!

Sure, are you doing this right now?
Why don't you show a big Live Account via myfxbook from which you'll retire?
