I wouldn't run this on a live account, I wouldn't know what to do with all the money.

Seriously. This was run with an overly aggressive 7% risk, in fact at the start it was possibly even higher than that.

It was also ran on weekend spreads ( about 5 pips on EurJpy ), which just goes to show the strength of the underlying trading algorithym.

It uses different settings of the alpha build of Behemoth and the trading frequency is also way too high. There is also a horrible period of drawdown in the middle somewhere, you can't see it on this chart.

Run it on demo for a week or so and if it works I'll lend you $110 bucks...

I've already put the 'official' settings on a small live account with minimum risk, even though the EA is still at alpha stage.

Thanks for the offer though Elkart, much appreciated!

I can also lend you the necessary amount 😄

Steve,

You're being featured mate!!

Steve,

I happily stand in line to test this EA. Ill even bring lunch. What would you like to drink?

Oh I'm easy, beer, wine, spirits.

I'm just going to clear up now, that I don't actually need to borrow $150. I wasn't canvassing for money ( although maybe I should now! ).

I was just making the point that the account started with only $150 and then got up to $80 billion in 10 or so years.

I've already put this EA ( even in it's alpha state ) on a live account. If it works as anticipated then I'll think about running managed accounts with it somewhere at some point in the future.

how is this possible, going back to 1999 even with a demo, considering this isn't being uploaded as a backtest?

I'm sorry not sure I understand your question?
How is what possible?

Cast iron man or something it's called.

Thanks for the mention Elkart.
Cast Iron Man is my daily breakout strategy. Currently not performing too well.
This is a new EA and I will only start managing with this once it has proved itself live.

very many

Steve, did you run your EA using Control Points or Open Prices?

Nope, every tick.

Strange, how come your model is 0%?

I'm using fixed range bars, it reports all the bars as mismatched chart errors and the calculation for modelling quality gets screwed up. As long as you ensure you download the history before every backtest to ensure you're using the up to date minute data it should be okay - or at least as good as a normal 90% backtest anyway.

As with all EA's though forward trading is the only way to prove the concept. It's looking good so far.

I've decided to make my backtests private in order not to hog the entire strategies board. I will publish the backtests on my blog.

Steve, how's your EA forward test doing? Can you send me the link to your blog? Not sure where it is.
