Day Trading robot review - BUSTED! -$3071

[Batchboy]

My Q has been answered as to what hapopened to this EA.
You know what? We can't expect a wonderful EA to be perfect, "absolutes are unobtainable" as one great philosopher put it, so 40 pips on my running of it will make it realistic, I agree with Maurizio! Many 10 pip baggers and a rare 40 pip loser, who can complain!? Yea, please start again with this setting, if you can sir!

I let it run a few days , in my exp. a s/l from 34 is enough, after this if it goes , it goes anyway!
I put the p/t at 22 instead of 20 and canceled the trailing stop. It works on all the pairs that have a spread no more than 4. but then you have to use 0.5 lot instead of 1.
If there is a possibility to delay the actual Buy or Sell 1 min after the signal, price would be much better.

I have a few others I would also like to restart. I'll see what I can do to add this one to the list.

I set my unit with these optimization settings, thanks vanupips!
Can someone program in that "delay" using say an "additional-pips-to-trigger" value in properties? Do you think this would be good? Most likely just 1 or 2 pips more might suffice, which back-test would also be behooving to check-out.
What about the SL problem previously diuscussed, does that still need fixing? Or is that not a problem because putting in an SL is solid versus the TP that might not catch on rare occasion and thus the deep-doo-doo (drawdowns) occurs?
