Default RoboMiner EA

I did read about the Issues with the EUR/CHF and I will manually close my long losers and just run with the AUD/NZD. It does seem the EUR/CHF wins some but has a tendency to not catch the T/P. I am not completely closed minded on this EA but the fact it has no safety mechanism in the form of a Stop is just suicide. I do understand the need for a Stop, Take Profit...etc...to be hidden due to the Brokers typical bad behaviour and plain thiefery.
I do monitor all the EA's I am testing, daily. I adjust each one as necessary. There is no such thing as a "Set and Forget" system. This is just foolish thinking and a indicator that someone is lying to you. I mean come on....we trust indicators in Forex right? Willing to give our hard earned money to a virtual world.....
And if this Forex market is ready....willing....and able, to take our money...
Why OH Why wouldnt we pay attention to our indicators that someone is lying to us???

You would have to be very naive to set an EA going and walk away and leave it in confidence.

I guess if you start using it and it makes you some profit, take the money and close it down.

Pipcop, Can you run a poll for users to see how many have made profit or loss with this robot? Of course this can have false entries but maybe honesty might prevail for a period of time.
