Weird...first 3 transactions averaged $3.84, and all the rest....like soldiers $0.39 or $0.40..that is 12 consecutive closed transactions with this return!? I'm using Alpari UK, Demo $10,000, with lot size 0.01; everything else set at "true", except quote from broker =false.

I guess I can't complain, no losses and a pip is a pip..

I use it with ITFX. The settings are all default apart for lot size: I made it 0.01. I started with the nonhedge as this was the only option when I completed the clickbank purchase.

I believe he's using InvestechFX. Pipdetector: what kind of account are you using with them, by the way? I think they have a scalper account, micro account, etc. Also, I notice you are trading live with GT Shadow and Megadroid. Do you have a favorite among them? I've honestly been going back and forth with which one to use, and now Forex Funnel has entered the mix as a favorite. It's a very tough decision

I agree. I basically use ITFX broker only for "risky" EAs and manual trading. Their website is definitely far from impressive. It's advantage is quite low spread and they tout themselves as NDD broker .

For "proven" EAs I use FXDD and FXCM.

1. I use a scalper account. I used the broker with FAPT and currently I use it with Megadroid. I have lost hope for FAPT and now the only EA that I use with live ITFX account is Megadroid. In spite of occasional stop loss hits it is definitely more reliable than FAPT. I use it with 0.06 risk setting.

2. GT Shadow is my favorite. So far I have been using it with the standard AUD/NZD and EUR/CHF pairs plus USD/JPY. Both AUD/NZD and USD/JPY are incurring a growing drawdown , this is a "feature" of GT that requires some "adjustment" and it is not for faint hearted

Their support is far from FXDD and FXCM level. I usually sent them e-mails and get the answers after a couple of hours. I withdrew 250$, but they sort of panicked and asked me why etc.
