Here's my view on things. Just to sum up.Rev trader pro does work but is not as profitable as this account shows due to manual manipulation of the trade history at a server level, which was done to over-egg the cake for marketing purposes.With regards to brokers, that's a separate thread in it's own right and a large discussion. The only thing I would recommend both from a trading perspective and a broker perspective is diversify. Best regards Steve

I'm not sure. I'm not claiming the EA doesn't work, over a period it seems to work. However people are purchasing based on an understanding of a performance level which I'm not convinced is there due to spurious trades in the history.Here's a link to the NZDUSD price feed using Synergy FX MT4 for 11/12 December 2013, with the trade entries plotted for the three NZDUSD trades. Trades which appear both on MyFxBook and on the account statement.http://c2n.me/3a4Ii57.pngNow while I'm not 100% sure about the timing of the trades due to possible daylight saving that may affect...

No it isn't an independently run account. It's just a link to Doug's statement. Which again has the contested trades that are allegedly due to a MyFxBook issue. I'm not claiming the EA does not work. It clearly does, as so many people state. However the veracity of it's actual performance has to be doubted due to apparent spurious transactions in the historic statement. i.e. It's not as profitable as you think it is.On top of this, if the transactions are spurious then the legitimacy of Synergy as a broker has to be doubted as I've had it confirmed from Ethan that t...

Good stuff, thanks for putting the statement back. It does of course raise the question of why the MyFxBook trades that are due to an upload problem are the same as the trades on the MT4 statement.Best regards Steve

I'm not saying it's a fraud, nor am I a doubter. All I'm saying is that the JL trader post raises some interesting queries. My own due diligence confirms that there are some issues with the historic trades, these should be considered and the reason for them addressed. If Doug was to disconnect and reconnect the account then the issues that occurred with MyFxBook should hopefully disappear.However here's another thing to consider. JL trader flagged that the trades were the same on the statement published on Doug's site, which would rule out a MyFxBook issue.http://i2.wp.com/...

Easily solved if the problem was a MyFxBook issue. Delete the account and reconnect it. That should solve the problem and shut up the doubters.Best regards Steve

Hard to say, it looks like some of the results have been falsified in some way though, possibly just to push it to the top of the rankings on MyFxBook and for marketing purposes. Who knows? It would certainly be easier to create a false statement with the brokers involvement. However Synergy are Aussie regulated, which means that it's less likely than a broker in a poorly governed jurisdiction.As I understand it, MyFxBook connects directly to an account and carries out various checks. So it should be impossible to falsify a statement unless that statement also exists with false data on the...

Agreed, I've looked at the details of this post and I can confirm that the prices on some of the trades for this account are not genuine.Best regards Steve

The best idea would be to backtest both sets and compare, both individually and a mixed portfolio with both settings and see what comes out. I'm switched off now until the new year. However my feeling is in the last few weeks a few of these trades have fallen victim to stop hunting. Hopefully Jared will sort out a hidden stop loss version over the Christmas break!Best regards Steve

The manual is wrong, I posted this earlier. I recommend running backtests with any EA that you purchase before running it on an account. This will show you how the risk calculations work. When I saw they didn't match what the manual said I queried it with Jared. The post is a few pages back.With regards to the 60 day money back guarantee. In three years of backtesting only once was there two losing months in a row. However starting on four of the months out of 35 you would have ended up with a net loss after two months. All the others would end up in profit.Best regards Steve

Sounds interesting and probably something that could be coded.Best regards Steve

KeltnerPRO - Jared in Tirdzniecības sistēmas Dec 12, 2014 at 12:26

Sorry, sometimes I come across as brusque. I'm not saying they are specifically hunting Keltner stops. The more successful a commercial EA becomes the more people buy it ( even though they always claim to be limited sales - this is just a marketing ploy ). The more people buy it, the more impact it has on the order books and consequently the more likely it is to be targeted. Successful systems change markets and suddenly the backtesting that your system was built on is invalid.The market makers are here to make money out of the markets just like we are and it's a net zero sum game with...

I recommend you read this and then maybe take a moment of quiet reflection to consider the implications to commercially released EA's.http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/go/news/article/1283997/a-beginners-guide-forex-riggingSince this investigation started some opinions on forums stopped being opinions and became cold, hard facts.Best regards Steve

I'm open to suggestions, although my gut tells me there aren't any free, efficient EA's out there. Personally I'm not bothered that it will stop working, it's the nature of trading. Providing you run a diversified portfolio failures aren't an issue.Best regards Steve

KeltnerPRO - Jared in Tirdzniecības sistēmas Dec 11, 2014 at 08:55

I know it will fail at some point. Haven't seen a commercial EA that didn't fail yet. The trick will be spotting when it has failed. A hidden stop loss will extend it's life span in my opinion.Best regards Steve

KeltnerPRO - Jared in Tirdzniecības sistēmas Dec 10, 2014 at 14:16

Check your log. It should tell you what happened. If not ask your broker.Best regards Steve

KeltnerPRO - Jared in Tirdzniecības sistēmas Dec 09, 2014 at 13:09

You can't. We'll pretend it never happened ;)Best regards Steve

My guess would be he's using the old "Jump on the most popular threads to promote my own stuff" trick.Best regards Steve

I suggest you read up on the current legal proceedings the big banks are going through with regards to colluding to fix the currency markets. If you read into it far enough you'll discover that one of the things they were accused of is stop chasing. In reality as aagarcia says, they aren't targeting us and our stops, it's nothing personal. Our stop losses are showing on order books as a large volume of people looking to "sell" their open positions at that price. If the banks feel they can then make a profit on those orders then they are going to "buy" them off u...

That does look like a stop hunt, a few previous ones have looked like stop hunts but that EurUsd trade looked especially like one. Really wish this EA would have used a hidden stop loss. It takes the market makers a little longer to figure things out then.Best regards Steve
