As you will see, on babypips it happened that user with the same account and same version of EA had different trades. One of them didn't catch that trade and they left the EA to trade all night long.

Yeah, I am glad that it's only like $10 in real money.

Remember, on live accounts, the Quick Stats are multiplied to mimic a $5000 account. This live account really has a $200 starting balance, so all figures from the statement are multiplied by 250. This is covered in the Review FAQ linked in my signature.

And, as always, this has a long way to go before I would be using it live for personal purposes.

Default Swap Free Brokers

Hey Guys
I have been following this site for a couple of months now, with particular interest in Robominer and I have noticed there hasn't really been much talk on the swap , as this would be one of my concerns, as it seems it would take a major disaster for this EA to margin out but one thing that adds up is the swap , espescially in this instance, I have done some searching but does anybody know of a relaible broker that you can open up a swap free account with, as I have found some but not sure if they are entirely reliable and generally you have to be muslin to open a swap free account… I know there out there but just a matter of finding them.

That's a really great question, I really don't know. I am sure some folks will know, though, so let's hope they respond here.

One thing that has been mentioned is monitoring the spread on live accounts. I am working with a programmer right now to make a little robot that will capture the spread and save it to a database so I can publish the results. Perhaps I can do something similar if MetaTrader allows it within the code.

There are a number of brokerages that offer sharia accounts ( no swap ). One of them is tadawulfx.ch a swiss company operating in Cyprus. Tadawul means trader in arabic. However, realize that they're also in business to make money and they will exact their due in other ways. If this is a route you want to go, do your due diligence. REAL international brokers would be better than a Local one. With respect to the negative swap both ways on the AUDNZD, I m STILL looking for a retail AUD or NZD broker . nothing yet.

Hope this helps.

I'm still on the search for a reputable broker that provide swap free accounts, but one thing that I have found that will be useful to you all to some what combat the negative swap is go through Fxrebates, who will provide you with a percetage rebate on every trade you do through them, so befroe you sign up with one of the big retail brokers check out these guys..

you can try using GoMarket to trade that EA - http://www.gomarket.com.au/forex . It's an australian broker , they support microlots, have pretty good opinion and the most interesting thing - aud/nzd spread is only 10 (according to thier page). Check this out if you want to
