EvolutionX robot review - Page 9 - Pip Cop

PC - are your settings: TradeBuy=1 and TradeSell=0?? Reason I ask, is that I just noticed ALL my trades are buys... and all yours are "Sells" (for this month) LOL -

I'll assume that is default, as I have not changed them.... Thoughts?

Just food for thought... as I have no idea about this "kill switch" thingy

"Force Close After "99" Hours" looked to be the "kill switch" thingy I was looking for and is now in EvoV as well but doesn't seam too work. I intentionally setup it to 1hr to see but its still got lots of open trades.

I had hoped this was it and the update to EvoV would have resolve the stuck trade problem..

As a side note: I'm really looking forward to the XTreme EURGBP tests, I'm really wondering if this EA had one lucky month like the FabTurbo.

Time well tell..

Actually mine are both zero.

I'm not so sure FAP Turbo was simply one lucky month. It seems a much better built EA than that. The obvious problem, as with many ideas and systems in the market, is that once too many people start using the same thing, and this case is an extreme example, not only too many people, but all at once like a descending hoard, all newbies with grossly overleveraged starter accounts, at a time of day that is historicaly weak, low volume, and poorly supervised. Once too many people start doing the same thing it tends to stop working the same. Plus the market and brokers have to absorb and compensate for this new parasite. In time this may work itself out, or it may simply become anouther oversold EA with poor performance. For now I think its going to have a long period of growing pains.

Regardless its still a very profitable EA to follow manualy, not mirroring every single trade, but picking and choosing with a little inteligent discretion. Its fairly easy to beat the EA now that its performance has degraded. I find I can usually take 20-50 pips off the evening session with minimal effort. Not every day of course, but you get the idea.

Sooooo WTF happened here? Statements still show it in the black - but will assume it busted out today?

Did it really piss away $27,000 gross profit in one day? LOL

----EDIT----

Errrr - never mind - now it's back on top of the list... guess it was "updating" or something and that sent it to the bottom for a bit -

Yup, that's covered in the Review FAQ.

That happens when the Quick Stats parses the statements, but MT is uploading at the same time and the statement is blank. It updates every 15 minutes so next time you come back it's fixed.

I think this is the best EA ever.
And to make it much better we have to monitor it.
Don't lets it work alone.... check the trend

if we need to close all position then we close it...
Then restart the EA again... That the way to used this EA.... I think

Have another look, be sure to look at prior month's links above sliding window. Evolution has a huge drawdown

, and Prototype is "all over the map" (wildly up 'n down balance). when you look at the balanced-manner of ups with downs for past 2-1/2 months for Para_SAR you'll see, thus far, it's the winner.
BTW, my live on IBFX is performing better than demo on Alpari_US!
