I dont think trading alongside FAP-T will be a problem, other than the spreads. As long as MDPro remains a more conservative scalper and chooses better setups and entries it shoiuld do better. The bigger concern is that running these all at the same time, on the same account, makes them share the account equity. This increases the leverage on your free margin, and depletes the free margin left for each consecutive trade. So if one EA trades noticably better, but is always second opening trades, it will always have the smaller position size. If multiple trades go into drawdown at the same time it could cause a margin call.

I like the way that Megadroid trades so well that I dont want to interfer with its trading hours with anouther night scalper. Manually I dont daytrade those hours, the most I might have is a few swing trades open, and I dont swing trade on the EURUSD, because with the NFA filter on it shouldnt allow multiple trades on the same currency and I dont want to block MD's trading.

Did you get MD Pro as a bonus for Forex Maximizer. I'm very interested in the results from this EA. I refused to buy it, I've tested too many junk EA's with the same claims, and he had all the usual scams, from incomplete and unprovable statements, to automatic redirecting when I tried to leave the site. He actually offered better prices twice when I tried to leave. He went as low as $77, and initially claimed he only had 10 EA's at that price, but he's still offering it now. He's had one left all day. I would be very impressed if his EA does what he says. I would love to have an EA to trade the GBPUSD all day. Maybe I'll give up and test it?
