Should add 3rd source. 3: Broker's price feed is not the same as ICMarkets. 4: Broker's spread is wider than ICMarkets. Believe these last 2 can be a major cause as ICMarkets EURUSD spread is tightest I know. If your broker has wider spreads, then your observed slippage may be just that brokers wider spread or their different price feed.

There are 2 sources of slippage. 1: Price slippage due to lack of sufficient broker liquidity at close time causing the close price to slip down the brokers book even if no time/tick slippage has occurred. Tomas's many private sub accounts show that broker price slippage not an issue with ICMarkets. 2: Time/tick slippage between master closing tick and slave receiving the close signal & closing on the next tick. While a good VPS will reduce this time/tick slippage, normally VPS delay is not significant. My testing shows the signal copier service is where most time/tick slippage occurs....

This makes no sense. Having master password allows signal provider to trade your account. However signal provider can't withdraw your money. So where is the risk? Slippage is part of the cost of signal copying. BTW my slippage is almost zero and I don't have private sub.Nice work Tomas. Ignore the Trolls.

Published closed trade says this Martingale that increase lot size of each level as price moves the wrong way. What price averaging occurs? None in the closed trades. What do you mean not Martingale?Backtest trade record shows very big Marti basket happened that would blow account if compounding occurred. Not do compounding allows built up profit to buffer DD from big Marti basket. If withdraw done just before big Marti basket occurs, account may fail. Can't rely on built up profit to make Marti PowerFlow safer.Is Marti. Just look at backtest or live log to see.

Hi Tomas,Very impressive trading results!At what DD% do you close all trades?How often should we expect to see this happen?What should we set as max DD% on SimpleTrader?Thanks

If you do a custom analysis of the 3rd account, starting 01 June 2014 with a $10,000 starting balance, the account gets hit with close to a 60% DD in the first few weeks of trading.When would Hedging kick in to limit the DD?

PowerFlow EA (3rd acc) dans Systèmes de Trading Aug 28, 2014 at 06:24

Hi Alex,Based on the initial deposit of $10,000, there was a 63% DD event as per the attached MyFxBook data. Sure when the DD occurred, the balance was above $10,000. Point being if a new account was opened a week before that event, the account would have had a 63% or worst DD.As MyFxBook doesn't get the tick by tick real DD, as our broker does, the DD could have been a lot worse.

Hi Alex,Thanks for the reply and answers.Once a Hedge is opened by the EA, what happens next? Does the EA manage the Hedge & basket close? If so how?Is there an option to use SLs when a trade is opened?For GBPUSD, start lot size 0.01, levels 15, spacing 30 pips & leverage 500 what would be the total DD (Open + Floating Margin in use)?Regards,Phil

Hi Alexander,From looking at the trade history, TP of 60 pips and spacing of 30 pips is very Envy like basket building tech. Also see baskets being built on both Buy and Sell side. Correct?What is the investment gearing (min investment required to support a maxed out basket) related to leverage, number of pairs traded and starting lot size?Does the EA support compounding / increasing the lot size as the balance grows? If so does an increased balance only effect the lot size of the level 1 trade or does it allow larger lot sizes of new trades added to already built baskets?How does the Hedging ...

My FULL refund has arrived. FSE + FSE ext + Oleg support.

Neither is my copy working. Access to the members area is removed. Other robots are using the demo account.

They did that with me too. Changed the Refund Request into a Support Request, which I turned back into a Refund Request which now says the money has been refunded. That was on Dec 5. As of 10 minutes ago, no money has arrived in my bank.Did you receive your refund in your bank / credit card account?

ForexSensation dans Systèmes de Trading Dec 12, 2013 at 05:54

They told me the refund was on it's way on 5 Dec. 7 days later and nothing has arrived??

Have also asked for my money back.The official live account shows how bad is this EA.http://www.myfxbook.com/members/sensation/forexsensationextendedreal/724433/iiktQtkEScGVaGahgQFrEither:1) We were not sold the contest EA.2) The contest results are not real.3) Or something else.Bottom line is the official account shows how bad is the EA we bought.

Please watch this video to better understand what the 83% Win ratio from the 4 Strategy back test really means to losing streaks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew1L6SLpHgM#t=1295 If you have the time, enjoy the full video and try to understand those with billions to invest are VERY happy with 30-40% per year. Then use this table http://www.myfxbook.com/files/FxPhil/Losing3.jpg to better understand how the Win % effects the potential length of losing streaks. Knowing that you have a better ability to judge the Risk per trade based on the EAs Win% and the length of the potential losing streak.

On the FS web site there are 2 published back tests. One for just Strategy 4 and another for all 4 Strategies.What I have done is to take the public 4 Strategy 99.9% back test and turn it into a spreadsheet.From there other changes were done that allow you to vary the input money and the Risk.As there were no magics supplied with the back test data, it is not possible to isolate various Strategies.

Well that depends on what you are looking for.Adjusting the spreadsheet to use Risk 0.5, delivers $400,000 at end Oct 2013 from a $1,000 deposit 22 months earlier.As the adjusted spreadsheet shows equal results during the 3 month contest, it may also suggest the 22 month backtest result is also valid.Have attached the adjustable version.You can adjust Risk and starting balance to see the end result.

EURUSD	1.07755	GBPUSD	1.25673	AUDUSD	0.66261
USDJPY	153.873	USDCAD	1.36629	USDCHF	0.9058
