I started it running on 30th. afternoon (gmt) and it made many trades.
It's on a demo account of $10000 using 0.1 as lot size. At one point it showed
-$176 but eventually closed in profit. The 'bot made more trades later, always closing at a profit. I switched off mid-evening, I've no idea whether the 'bot "knows" that the day was friday and market would be closing shortly. (Not a good idea to have any open trades over the weekend.)
The alert message always recommends 2 decimal places for lots - I can make no sense of that.
What I've now done is to open another demo using $350 as the start amount,
a realistic amount for me now.
(I've not yet recovered from losing $54,000 in a failed co.!)
It may be that this ea is not suitable without 4 figures in the account.
...and always bear in mind that live trading is not the same as demo; slippage for example. What you can say is that if an ea does not work on a demo account, then it will not work on a real one. The reverse is not necessarily true! |
