OK thanks Peter, I was wondering if you had developed some kind of basic plan based on your 2 weeks of testing. So if it did at least 5% a day on profitable ones and closed on ones that went to 10% DD, would you have at least 7 out of 10 profitable days? That would be at least 5% profit every 2 weeks. If you can do the equity trail stop loss on the profitable days, it can probably do much better without having to watch it.
I understand your hesitation about forex EAs since I have been testing all types both free and commercial for 3 months myself and none have done well enough to go live with yet. It always fails just when you think you found the holy grail which makes me

!! But I might have 1 that I will go live with next month so we can see how things go.
