| | Pip Chief of Police and Site Owner | Ah, I get it.
while I would like to post it, out of feeling "revenge", I also don't want to do so as it would set a precedent that basically says "If we think we got scammed, we're going to give software away." |

U got the source or compiled version only ? | Frito, I try to answer for you in lieu of pipcop:
After persisting couple months ago for an answer Frito, they finally did answer me what the DD is, "25%". I must have been the only one persistent enough to get such an answer, as that is exactly what happened with this recent deep trending-caused DD. I stashed that email away in a folder saying to myself "nah, that's sounds like their usual being too conservative, as look at how well it does on pipcop!" Well, reason that WAS and IS the worst worst case that happens is the more giant trend  moves that don't back-up enough for the Martingale correction mechanism of theirs will result in 10 levels of increased wagering (martingale gambling). Having found their reply later before that giant move I found it curious once again. Turns out, this round was in "deep doo-do" for what, 2-3 weeks only? Quotes came back-up and yoww system recovered from those DDs with some profit and continued on its usual glorious self!. So if anyone knows how to apply this "thrown out into the ballpark" EA (now no company for it?) such that we can avoid giant news moves, then we're good with yoww? Maybe like pipcop says, take it on, create a plan to avoid big news moments, and voila, avail to public as "such a deal" dot com EA site, LOL  Now THAT be a common-sense multi-sided-brain usage of this EA, IF such "plan" could work!  Anyone smart with news advance avoidances?
Besides, I think I'm learning that EAs mostly are NOT meant to be the fully-auto silver-bullet to financial heaven (left-brain ultra logic that saps right-brain knowingnesses, e.g., here, stay out when big news that can hit a pair! Do I know what news that was....... no, anyone here know?)

I re-started mine AND I sent this letter to Witold of mqlsoft.com to see if he'd be interested in "fixing it". This could very well have been an excellent EA if it only had a true/false switch whether to use the martingale mechanism, and perhaps simply an SL  to replace it!
-------
hi Witold,
The folks at closed-down Y-oww.com had a terrific EA that unfortunately had an extra item in it that was to their doom, a martingale corrective cycle, which caused many folks' accounts to smash. It has occured to me that this EA might be something! It did so mechanically well between the times it tries to correct itself to make all trading perfect by using a martingale style correction, unfortunately when a straight-shot big trend  occured it was "doomsday" for many an account and they "vaminosed" (got out of dodge) when they got a flurry of refund requests due to many accounts crashed. We all screamed "scam!" and ever since have forgotten "her". Now I wonder if our upset had us forgot a very keen step-by-step gaining it had between those correction martingale employment. Most of the time it only corrected once or twice (increase lot another step to 2 or 3 size) to correct for the rare losers. Due to them disappearing this EA is now not off-limits and is public territory (I do believe?).
EA also could not do back-testing, maybe you can see why and correct.
So what I'd like to see is if you are interested in making this EA something viable as it otherwise had such keen TA step-by-step profits, perhaps just a stop-loss replacing the martingale mechanism?
I would hope that my bringing this to light and the experienced gained from pipcop of this EA that you will avail it free to members here upon your recognizing and tweaking this EA, otherwise and additionally it could sell from your site like it sold at y-oww, $500 back then, you'd probasbly be able to sell for similar price too.
It has experts file, libraries file, include file, and document.
I started running it again simply for the joy of seeing those precisely step profits, quite amazing as you will see. No true lover of EAs could totally forget forever this wondrous EA and how it performed otherwise.
Hope you can help with this.
Truly,

| | Pip Chief of Police and Site Owner | Sorry, no, I don't have it running. I've erased the VM  it was on as I typically do of all expired reviews.
Additionally, suggesting that anyone can take a robot, decompile it (by proxy), modify it, and then sell it constitutes a serious copyright violation. While Yoww was a scam, it would also be unethical and illegal to take their source code and continue on as if you had permission of the owner. I cannot allow or partake in any such venture on my site. |

If you deem so that despite later after "scam" they simply are no longer an existing business entity (which is why I now am asking, not so early at time of "scam!"), and you deem so still, ok sir.

| | Site Supporter | Their site still empty front-page, so I wrote them to see if they are contactable and to see if they can do this modificatio to "their" EA.
------ Y-OWW.COM@domainsbyproxy.com
Hi,
Are you folks the original y-oww folks?
Even though it has a failing martingale mechanism in it, why not modify it with simply an SL  in lieu of that? It may do quite well still, simply a true/false switch that changes it from that martingale to an SL  deal. And make it back-testable while your at it (be sure to make it so 1min bars look like "ticks", i.e., end-of-bar performance otherwise tester won't replicate what happened recently live$).
Hope I reached the right terminals of any still existing y-oww company?

| | Site Supporter | Since range  movement was the problem for this EA due to its martingale style corrective mechanism, I try on AUDNZD, and it is at least running like it was mostly, so it might be interesting if AUDNZD (known for its range  limitation, good for Robominer) can "hang-in-there" over time w/o crashing! "Be nice" Ha-Ha!
