I bought it at more or less the same price. They also have 30% off action at their site at the moment for all their products for Xmas event. Same stupid thing as coupons. I considered using their EA programming service, but in the end I decided not to. What is the use of having an EA built, if you cannot test it properly? Besides building and testing your own EA's (as miserable as they are) is much more fun.

I tried some backtests on different pairs too, but the spread is crucial for this EA, so only the major pairs. No other currency pair was profitable in my test.

The demo at GoMarkets is doing less but better trades than Alpari. For the moment...
Ok thanks,

Backtests look pretty good. I am just trying to find the optimum risk percent so that I can run both pairs in comfortable DD.

More later,
Rick
