Equity 100%, no open losers. Avg holding time less than 2 hrs, I'd say he found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Good going. Or am I missing something? :)

18 trades in july, 9 in august so far. Looks like it's one trade a day - it sure keeps the bailiff away.
I have a sneaking suspicion there's a little bit of hedging and fixed time trading involved, but 2 months and a few dozen trades are not enough for me to come to any conslusions other than the visible hard facts - it's going fine and making profits. Keep it up.

Is your risk setting MM will increase the lot size over times ? You are combining EA and manual trade together ?
Do you need to babysitter the market all the time? Or only perform routine monitoring or is no fix time schedule?
Good start of high gain high risk with $500. So supposedly this setting should be use on how much capital ?

Yes you can! If they are placed at the same time of day.
This would explain why history is hidden - would be obvious how to copy trades.
Maybe this little mischief trades volatility with buy/sell (limit?) order pairs.

Speki,
it is actualy one or two trades per day, this month conditions are very bad, so number of trades is very small. There is no hedging.
DoubleTrap,
Yes, MM will increase the lot size over times, maximum lot size on this account is 10. Yes, we are combining EA with our hands. You have to watch the market sometimes, but in most of the cases EA will do the job. This setting should not be used, this is 100% risk, and in normal trading such risk is unacceptable.

Are you considering releasing this in some other format as well?
Asian scalpers are all well and good but I consider them as an addition to a day trading strategy. Tieing up your capital in an account that only trades during a low liquidity session just doesn't make sense when you can make your money work 24 hours.

Hey Steve!
What do you mean by other format?
Scalper is taking targets by 3-5-10 pips and holding positions in less then 5 minutes, our targets are at least 20-30 pips, if market is bad, we can close our trade with minimum profit of 3-6 pips and holding time is much bigger then 5-10 minutes and this is not scalping. This month is flat, and even with that, system was able to give us profit.

I mean in something other than a managed account. If somebody opens a managed account with you then they can no longer trade their own capital.
Some traders trade a day strategy during London/New York and then additionally trade something during the Asian session. That way your money is working as hard as it can do.

I mean let's examine what Leprechaun really does when you aren't risking 100% of your equity on each trade.
For the Medium risk system you risk 20% per trade, which is still way, way too high for most investors and you are generating a 30% return per month risking 20%.
At the most I would risk 5% equity on an Asian scalper system. So a quick scaling down shows me that Leprechaun would make about 7.5% per month with a 5% risk.
Which although a nice return is not really making your money work as hard as possible. However add it on to a nice day trading strategy that could return say 20% and you're starting to get somewhere.

Id does not matter what risk you play, with 5% risk you can make 40-60% in some months, so your statement is wrong :) We are here not to prove something to someone, this system is trading for years with 10-20-30% risk settings, and there was only one stop loss so far. But you are right, day trading is better, but also risky like any trading on this planet :)

It's known as marketing as opposed to unsubstantiated claims.
As this is an EA, I'm guessing it was an MT4 account.
So if you had a system that was performing for years successfully then why would you not connect that system in order to demonstrate it's potency?

I didn't call you anything. I'm simply asking questions.
It's called 'due diligence' which every investor should do before parting with their hard earned money.
