I think this is also a good idea. It would be a very welcome addition in the members area to have a video/webinar perhaps discussing possible scenarios and how to protect and how the EA actually works. I understand Dustin and how marketing works and perhaps the videos could be available after one signed up (protected by a refund policy).From all the tests I have seen (including maxtrade above) Tom's EA does very well until a wild reversal happens. (March 2009, May 2010 and so on). These are big moves though, and a lot of people trading whatever would get hit. I would guess Tom's EA did...

Fughe,Without spending too much time on it, the reason I participate to forums is simply to try and learn from guys like you as automated is new to me. Make no mistakes, trading is not new to me, nor is the world of business.I spent some time in various forums learning about EAs and I was very surprised on the poor quality of the discussions in general. I have wasted many hours and possibly opportunities on opinions that were biased or with users that just did not understand the products.I am approaching the purchase of EAs as a business and in my career I have never bought a business where th...

GlobalProfit posted:We could add a user defined variable that would liquidate all positions at a certain point and I can look into having that added. Regarding the change in the hedging capabilities we have worked on this a lot and found that you will carry much larger draw downs if you increase this. Also allowing this to be user defined also completely changes the dynamic of this EA and how it works. [/quoteDustin,I think the addition of the above liquidation measure would greatly improve it, expecially in runaway markets like March 2009 (I was there! luckly on the right side). Lik...

Dustin,thank you for the continued participation.Dustin, you casually mention above that you will be reducing risk on entering the holidays. This is the kind of communication that should be present and regular to members. Advise and tips on how and what. They would go a long way..

Lobotomy8,do we assume from the above that you were trading minilots?

Flopps,that is also my position and my 2 accounts (live and demo) are also open for everyone to see if anyone is interested.

Firstly, a thank you to Dustin, it's good to see you participating to the discussion and good to see that you read the posts. It might be tedious for you, but my view is that the developers should have a duty to participate and to clarify doubts. After all, is not a free product, we do pay you for it :-) and you do tend to keep a veil of secrecy over certain aspects of it.I personally would be interested in an explanation on the stop loss system and protection measures (if any) against a doomday scenario as maxtrade portrays in his tests. Even if it is only a recommendation for something w...

?? I don't get the capping at 3%. Are you suggesting that running 7 pairs each on risk level 3 (equalling to total risk level 21) is the same as running EURUSD only on risk level 3? what is it exactly that is capped?Does anyone know what the magic number for Tom's EA is? or where to find it.Thanks

there is a different consideration which I have been thinking of. Once a DD tolerance has been established, why not manually hedge the position? If the EA does not do it enough.In my view, if we get a big EURUSD trend (to annihilation...) and Tom's keeps averaging down, once the tolerance is hit, open a manual hedge (in this case a short) and keep taking profits on your hedge to offset the open DD on the EA. Worse case you break even-ish waiting for Martingale to do the job. In my particular case of last week, I was already short EURUSD in my manal trading as there was a move there. I thin...
