Hi bugboy,
I'm testing the EA's myself and am posting on Steve Boardman's thread,
Steve Boardman's Fusion test
Can I ask what broker are you using for this test?
And also, did you enable a defined SL level for SuperVolcano?

I noticed that you had 4 trades by SuperVolcano opened on 2010.02.18 23:52, then closed at 2010.02.23 22:01 with -280pips each. Compared to FRWC's concurrently running live test, their equivalent SuperVolcano trades are still open.
Did you close these manually? Or did you define the limit in Fusion's settings.
I see it paid off with your EA almost immediately re-opening in the opposite direction at 2010.02.23 22:03~04 (within 2-3 minutes) with a current floating pip of +315 each. Nice..

I have not manually closed any trades. I have just set this up and let it run. the only setting i have changed where the GMT offset, which Forex.com is 0, and the lot sizes. but i have noticed some of the strategies have there own lot sizes. let me know if there is anything else i can answer.

Thanks for replying. I notice that difference in brokers can make or break a trade, they are all significantly different. The trades that you closed with a small SL and then more than made up for with additional SuperVolcano trades in the opposite direction(net result ~ +160pips), are currently massive open losses on FRWC's own live test. 3x 670 pips= 2010 pips. Crazy!
With a USD base, that's $225 is trading a 0.01lot/trade, or a 22.5% drawdown. FRWC is trading 0.02lots, making it a 45% drawdown.
I think moral is that we should implement a SL system.

i agree. i haven't taken the time to look at hope the strategies exit trades, but this needs to evaluated. I just want it to run for a couple of weeks to have data to analyze. I think using some of these strategies with an manual exit plan will pay off in the long run. I am really tempted to close some trades now, I have 4 open trades with a total pip gain of 1525. If this was a live account i would have closed 1/2 of them when they reached a 200pip profit and added a SL for the other to still net out some gain. Since this is a demo account i will let them ride and see where it takes us.

Yeah, I reckon managing trades with jumping TP would allow some slots to be re-opened for new trades to trigger. And also prevent a winning trade be reduced or worse, a loser.
I wrote to FRWC suggesting some simple SL and no. of trades parameters they could introduce into the next iteration. Hopefully they implement some of it.
