VPower EA Demo - Monthly Summary: May 2015

On the 8th of May 2015 I started a forward test of my forex trading robot 'VPower EA' on a non-expiring Pepperstone Razor demo account, on which it trades a matrix of 20 currency pairs.

Here is the first monthly summary of the EA's performance during month May 2015:

Balance Change: € 1,000 -> € 1,416.05 (Profit: € 416.05)
Gain: +41.6%
Profit Factor: 1.37
Maximal Drawdown: 187.84 (11.71%)
Relative Drawdown: 13.68% (151.56)
Number of Trading Days: 16
Total Trades: 205
Profit Trades: 135 (65.85%)

VPower EA

VPower EA trades price moves and breakouts that can occur in any of the time frames M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 and which are backed by high volume/momentum.
The EA generates signals based on my proprietary technical indicator 'VPower' (VolumePower). A variety of other indicators are used to filter and confirm the signals.
The EA is capable of trading several pairs simultaniously on one MT4 platform.

Why not a forward testing on a small but REAL account...?

Looking forward to start testing on real account soon, not sooner than in 3 months though.

Looks interesting I wonder how it would work on a real account with slippage especially during news events... I have been using a great EA on news events for demo but doesn't work well in real due to slippage...

Pepperstone Razor ECN real accounts work better and faster than their demo accounts. I have done news scalping (manual & semi-automated) on a Pepperstone Razor account for several months - can fully recommend!

thanks for that mate. I will fund my pepperstone and give it a go. I have a news trading EA to try. Do you avoid news when there is more than one set of data on the same currency being released i.e. one can be positive and one negative and you get a whipsaw effect all in the space of millisecond hitting your SLs? I have started to notice it's better when just one major set of data being released. i.e.. earlier today the GBP news positive industrial but poor manufacturing data (up and down very quickly) trigger pending orders both directions etc.

Tokyo session today: USD down, JPY up, VPower EA: +300 pips!

After RBNZ interest rate cut, VPower EA shorted NZDCAD @ 0.8683. Will it hit TP @ 0.8618 soon or will it retrace and try to fill the gap first?

did it catch the initial 2000 pip drop on NZDUSD? I found a fault in my straddling News trader EA it opened pending on AUDUSD instead of NZDUSD it would have made a killing otherwise. Waiting on a fix.

😉

No, Ozzie Matt, my EA did only this one trade with NZDCAD.

nice trade still:) This system is showing lots of promise well done! It would be less prone to slippage and spread widening too compared with a news straddling EA.

What a day that was for VPower EA! 33 trades and first doubling of the account balance after 25 trading days on this demo account 😄

You're right :)

Oh and I meant 200 pips above too not 2,000 now that would be a move haha

nice job!

Yeah, I realized that :)

Short-lived AUD rally. All AUD trades resulted in losses. Nasty.
