Yup...been burnt too with FapTurbo. The only EA I'm trading live is Megadroid (tweaked)..so far, I'm in the positive.

The settings with Channel Scalper is the same set you posted here...so in theory you and I should have same results ....still, please let me know how it goes in real life.

I got a VPS and trading in Demo 3 brokers, Alpari UK, FXCM UK and ACM (swiss). I like EA's that are channel-like. I think I'm going to try the Donchian and another RSI I briefly saw.

I never tried this, but is is possible to use different EA's with different pairs within the same broker account? I guess if they are different, no need to change Magic Numbers. I keep an excel spreadsheet to record results, since they would be mixed in the account totals. My VPS can take so many brokers and no more...I don't want it to slow down or crash the system. If possible I could probably test 6 or more EA's at a time

On a quick note, last night it traded 11 times, all shorts, all wins at $45 average...does that sound right? did you get similar results live? My original demo balance was $5,000, now I almost got 10% in one day??Thanks. Dan
