Thanks very much for starting this thread - nothing speaks better than stats. I'm very new to forex (first post by the way

) and I was intensely suspicious of bots as being nothing but snake oil. Having read this thread, I decided to take some of my initial pot and 'invest' in this bot. In two days it has made 3 trades with a net profit of £7.73. I have a small pot of £2400 and I'm on ODL, neither of which contribute to big profits, but here are the trades:
2/11/09 21:48 sell @ 1.47735, closed at 1.47718 (+17 pips? or is that 1.7 pips?)
2/11/09 22:00 sell @ 1.47758, closed at 1.47760 (-2 pips)
3/11/09 21:31 sell @ 1.47216, closed at 1.47175 (+41 pips)
So, if I am counting correctly, it has made 56 pips. It is set to risk 0.1, lot 0.1 (although I think the manual says this makes no difference if risk is on), stealthy+aggressive, no NFA, on a EURUSD H1 window. Any tips on the settings would be most welcome.
Also, thank you for the intro to myfxbook - I plan to use it too! And the dispassionate approach to trading is very inspiring. The fear of losses is my main concern at the moment. Next stop - iamfx for a VPS I think...
