It's so hard to estimate. Some EA backtests are around 75% of what a demo account will perform and other EA's are not even close between backtest and demo account. If you want to take The Channel Scalper as an example, the backtests are about 75-80% of what a demo account would do.
I have heard a lot about ATC. As a matter of fact, I posted a question in the MegaDroid review thread that asked about this broker. I don't use them personally. I gather that they are ECN with charges of spread plus commission. BTW, their commission is $4 per full lot (according to http://www.atcbrokers.com/forexecn/t...issionrate.php, not $8). I guess it all depends on their spread and the data feed and how much better they are than a normal broker. ATC is not listed on mt4spreads.com, I wonder why?
Anybody using ATC live that can give a thumbs up or down?

they say its $4 per full lot per side. im assuming they mean if you put in an order to buy/sell. thats 4usd/lot. if you put in another order to close it. thats also 4usd/lot so total is 8usd/trade buy and sell.
