Ivybot -- Comments? success? settings?

so today it make a sell trade on usd/jpy
sell @1.00 sell at 95.45 and tp is 94.63 so finally it reached tp on second time.

so any idea to go live account,so i am thinking to go live on sig trader because forexmeta nad sig trader the ivybot opening at exact price while in demo… anyone interested to go live… :slight_smile:

It seems to be working better with Fixed Spreads.

I am using ForexMeta FXDD and I didn`t have 842 profit.

My last trade USDJPY sell 0.10 @ 95.45 closed at 94.91 for $56.90 profit.

The trade was close seconds before the announcement, which is good, it could have moved up. It went down, but nobody could know that.

I am live since Thursday 6th August in ForexMeta FXDD

On Friday after NonFarmPayroll their server stopped working, and it was offline the rest of the day. I am not happy with this Broker. After I get the bonus I would change it.

I don`t need to do more tests. I have backtest all 4 robots, doing visual backtest you can see the logic behind and the risks involved. So now live.

I intend to put this through an entire 30 to 40 days of testing before I throw any money at a live account.

I am also waiting for the upgrade to 5.0 and, hopefully, the 5 digit broker fix.

If you do go live please keep us up with what broker you are on and how your trades are doing. We are all trying to learn about this product and your input would be helpful.

How do I change to fixed spreads or even check how it is set?

In ForexMeta FXDD you cannot change it. You will have to move to a different provider. I think in the UK they offer fixed spreads.

There are people in this thread posting better profits and trades than mine.

can you give us the details of this trade? open date & price. did it hit the take profit? what was you lot size, sounds like it was closer 1.0 instead of 0.10

i hope i see this trade on mine.

TP reached. +82 pips. 222pips profit this week.

nice weekend

I have asked to IvybotSupport if I can see their trades and
they have answered me with a link to a Demo Account Results.

This is their answer…

We’re very sorry you are having difficulty. We are seeing much better results than this. Please make sure you are using a recommended broker and that you are using default settings. We are seeing results much like at this site…

Thanks,

Are we the only ones in the world trading with real money? :rolleyes:

[B]ForexMeta[/B] traded 2.0 lots.40 PIPS on USDJPY in my afternoon(im in Australia) i was out working- profit 842.55, Forex FS same currency pair profit 100.72. BasicFX - profit 84.60.

total profit from 3 brokers - 1027.87 in one day =) excluding my own success trades. Sweet . Lets hope theres more of such trades coming up. i was really worried is IVY trades 2.o lots at one go. Its MAKE IT or BREAK IT, this time count myself lucky ~

First trade yesterday 2009.08.13 17:47 (10:54am EST) BUY 0.10 USDJPY price 95.61 S/L 0.00 T/P 96.43 (82 pips over Buy price) CLOSED 2009.08.14 06:27 (11:27 pm EST) 95.13 LOSS -50.46

This trade was open 12 1/2 hrs under the buy price before Ivy closed it.

I have no open trades, I am on default settings, Metatrader demo acct. thankfully. BTW thanks to all for posting, I found this site just as I was ready to fund live acct. and then decided to stay on demo.

I do not understand the wildly fluctuating trades from one acct to the next in the same time frame all on Ivy. Some Bought, Some Sold, some made little profit, some made big profit, and I lose money. Some have one trade, some have multiple trades. All on the same pairs. What is happening? :confused:

Two trades this week with BasicFx, first -191.70. Second +260.32 on 5,000.00 demo account.
One trade with ForexMeta +84.61 on demo account also. All three trades on usdjpy, aggressive settings.

all 4 of my trades closed with a profit.

Thanks 4 the reminder…I should have mentioned my default settings Metatrader demo acct is/was $500. as I want to see what an account that size will do without messing with settings. While size of the acct $$$$ and agressive settings definitely can make a big difference in size & number of trades, I don’t think it accounts for mine buying while most were selling USDJPY.

I would like to know what the “default” settings are. maybe they have changed the setting and have not published them. I did not get into the eurjpy trades? has anyone had a trade other than with usdjpy?

I HAD HAVE THREE TRADES WITH MY IVYBOT ON FOREX.COM LIVE ACCT
IT TOOK OVER TWO WEEKS AND PROBALLY THE SAME HAPPENED TO YOU AS WELL. THEY ALL WERE ON THE USDJPY WITH .10 THREE TRADES THREE WINNERS SO FAR.
1ST 97.12 T/P 97.92 WITH $9.26 ON A BALANCE ACCT OF $556.00
2ND 92.21 T/P 98.01 " $9.25 “”""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""’’’
3RD 95.36 t/P 94.56 " $16.81 “”"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I HAVE OTHERS EA AS WELL ON THE SAME ACCT. I JUST TWEAK MY FAP TURBO FROM THE SCALPER STRATEGY . THIS IS GIVING ME BETTER RESULTS SO FAR. MY FAP TURBO WAS ON SCALPER_USEMM SET ON TRUE AND WAS TAKING TRADES WITH NO MORE THAN 0.01 OR 0.02 ON ALL FOUR PAIRS M15 AND SO THE PROFITS WERE NO MORE THAN $3.00 IT WOULD MAKE AT LEAST THREE WINNERS AOUT OF THE FOUR EVERY DAY BUT NOW A TWEAK THE FOUR PAIRS ON THE SCALPER STRATEGY TO SCALPER_USEMM SET TO FALSE AND FIXED LOTS TO .10 JUST LIKE WHAT THE IVYBOT IS DOING AND MY PROFITS WERE UP NO LESS THAN 300% SO WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY PEOPLE THAT WHILE WE ARE WAITTING FOR THE IVYBOT TO TAKE TRADES EVERY WEEK OR LONGER YOU CAN EASILY DO MUCH BETTER EVERY DAY WITH FAP TURBO DOING THE SAME THING I DID. BY THE WAY I ALSO HAVE MEGADROID WICH AT WHAT POINT I HAD MY ACCT AT AT $950.00 AND TOOK -$276.00 OUT OF MY ACCT. (SCARY) LAST NIGHT AS WELL, MEGADROID HAD A LOST OF -$32.00 … I HOPE THIS INF HELP SOMEONE OUT THERE. SEE YOU FOREXERS…
