I put up my little demo... kind of on reserve settings for the 2 weeks to one month contest. 2 of my home made EAs.

Very nice. You're up almost 2% in a matter of hours. Very nice.

Earlier today there was a nice little (~1.5%) drawdown...
Contest accounts are all about %gain, therefore drawdown levels are often very high and 7-10 times out of 10 are getting margin calls...

 I think they are referring to the 2% drawdown being based on todays trades. None the less demo is worthless, unless you are running an EA. Many say they are using ea's when in reality they aren't

 The account attached to the traders name? It shows over 180 trades. I thought it has been up for several months. Let me check again.

Well here is mine. I had to attach it with the EA in order for my account to upload.

I got a response back from from support this morning, it appears they've been having problems with publishing stats, and it was fixed. However MT4 publishing appears to still be broken.

I am heading out for a few hours, and when I get back I will delete the old one, and set it back up to use EA publishing.

Auto update is now working correctly. Only up 1% on the day. Yet 100 a day keeps the 9 -5 away in this country.

Geezus what a mess...

OK myfxbook is now updating but I can't get it to validate properly.

When I try to validate the account on the website, it's telling me it validated but then nothing happens..



Yes I created an order with the hidden password in the comments and all that.
I know how to validate an account. That isn't the problem.

I know I'm not the only one having this problem, so it isn't just me....

ANYWAY.... My stats page is up and working, and the UPDATE is working for now at least.

https://www.myfxbook.com/members/CodeMonkey/codemonkey-live-2/950025

I will keep trying to figure it out.

I validated the other account but it wouldn't update.
NOW it updates, but now it won't validate.
WTF..... 😭 Seriously... WTF.... I can have it one way or the other.

Not making excuses, I am working on it, it's just beyond my minimal control.

Anyway. If someone has a problem with my stats we can talk about it.

Otherwise just keep trading.

I don't believe this is a fair competition even from the begining. If @CodeMonkey is from US then he has more restrictions on trading (low leverage and fifo rules) than kiwa.

Anyway, still believe he will beat mr. Kiwa if the competition last two weeks or more because his survival rate on the market is 5-7 days.

Just my humble opinion.

a look at the account tells you that the leverage is 1:1000 and FIFO is not applicable..
