Live demo and live$$ forward testing

[Batchboy]

hi Pipcop,
What will be your test plans for EAs doing ok on demo? Will you be funding with whatever means the live$$ runs on the 1, 2 or 3 best running brokers it works on? I consider this as important as it seems things can change when going to live$$, so to grab one broker per demo tests when time comes may not be adequate, and the 2 or 3 atop the list of the pack is best way, no? Naturally one would hope that the EA can run on puny accounts like micros (needing hundred$$ or so) or micro-minis (needing only $10 or $20), but the more brokers that are demo'd succesfully that can do nanos lots the beter to save on the $$ need to run live$ !!

I become more and more convvinced that the only reason I buy occasionally these latest EAs is to "grab them up at low price", in which case I begin to wonder why do I do this server testing that has 10 on it currently! (especially when you do more testing on more brokers than any of us can!!! ) You have the total set-up here; you worked hard to put IN PLACE FOR US! Thus, "people" like me really ought to put, in lieu of purchasing EAs, 1/3rd to 1/2 that amount toward a donation HERE! As long as above query thoughts are taken seriously to continue professionally testing, that be the way to go instead of tossing our money out there on hopes and testing (plus server-monthly$$), man, this thread could even be directed by a banner, as it isn't JUST (!!) a do-gooder kind of altruistic play, IT'S DEEPER COMMON SENSE THINKING!!!
( Besides! I'm out of work and don't want that 10 years of same-o-same-o junky "yob" [tee-hee] 'til my social-security cuts in in 2yrs-7mo, so any practical reasoning to squeeze by [i,.e., maybe cut-out of doing server testing buying EAs anymore] 'til then and rely on pipcop entirely with some donating is not only WISE but FRUGAL! )

Yeah, you're thinking along the same lines as I am. My plans are to put the best performing robots onto the best performing broker once they go live. I'd like to use $200 to $250 for the live accounts. There are several that I've wanted to go live with, but have not had the funds. I am hoping that at the end of this month I will, as several folks have made donations which are adding up pretty close to enough to put a robot live.

And thanks for reporting to me that the Donation system was de-activated for you. It sure would help if I turned it on, huh?

Jolly good, it's working now! Did my minor league donation, but hope someday when situation loosened up I can do more. Consider that dancing banana-man representative of changing operational view of habitual EA-purchaser/tester, and hope you can do something like post this as at least a small banner going to this thread to get others to follow suit, this continually going after EAs and all the testing difficulties, nawwwww, this ain't the way to go man! A group where we have you at the lead is the way and where all the buying and testing is already done......wow, what more could be asked for re: Eeeeeee-Aaaaaaaas!!!!!! (hmm, I finally got what this WTF?? is suppose to be, LOL)
