Many thanks Pipcop and Pipdetector,

I had forgotten about that EA from Goldmine. It will certainly come in handy for me

I changed the trading hours to 20:00-22:00 on The Channel Scalper in my demo account after the newer version (1.11) was making too many trades and taking a lot of chances. True version 1.11 was profitable but was way too volatile for my liking.

I just put EB-Turbo (trading the EURUSD M5 turbo strategy only strategy) back onto my live account at minimum risk. This EA/strategy combination has not lost any trade (live or demo) since I started using this EA on October 16, 2009. My demo account has had 169 trades and my live account has had 86 trades.

The free margin on my live account was getting too low (less than 2K) and I was forced to either add more cash (which I did not have), leave it and run the distinct risk of blowing the entire account or closing all the open trades and taking the loss. I chose to close all the open trades. As a result, I have lost 85% of my live account equity. Live and learn. Back to the drawing board.

At the same time, I also closed almost all the open trades on my demo account. Since I pulled Robominer from my demo account months ago, the impact on the account was a lot less severe.

I did a couple of stupid AUD/NZD trades recently assuming that the range will hold so I have lost half of my paper profit so far and the drawdawn is getting close to 50%...

Sorry to hear that.

When you say 'paper profit' are you referring to losses if you close the trade or to a demo account? Are you referring to a live or demo account.

This near blowup is going to leave a nice scar for me to show off anytime I get cocky.

Well I was also sorry to hear about your move with your live account. This must have hurt.

By paper profits I meant the profits that I showed on my balance on FXDD MT4 live account. I said paper profit because it would have become "real" only after the drawdown decreased to a reasonable level.

I do not know what's worse watching the catastrophe happening or looking at the ruins afterwards. Mine is the former case.

One thing is sure, I started to appreciate the EAs that do shorter term trades

I think being drained and choked by the ever increasing DD is way worse than dealing with the mess after the bomb. I tend to agree with you. I am somewhat relieved now but this relief may turn to despair later.

I also really appreciate EA's that get in, do there business and get out.

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that Rick. Been there, done that...never feels good. For me, my #1 demo of the week is RSI Expert v1.05 on 1M charts. Just started Sunday, 35 closed transactions, 8 open as of right now...started balance 5,000, current 5747 with equity of 5608. Drawdown of only 5.02% only. Just started on 5M charts & similar results, but less transactions. It's been less than a week and we are up 14.95%! I think I'm going to go public with MYFXBOOK...not sure how to do it..I'm new to this site.

Good luck Rick, you need to rebound ...that's Forex life Dan

Dan, I guess RSI Expert seems the right antidotum for the dwindled accounts that RoboMiner users are experiencing now! At this rate , I could be back to breakeven in a couple of weeks Let me know where I can get my hands on the EA.

I guess the key is the fact that you are demoing it. Scalpers do not far so well on real accounts, but who knows...
