thats an insane and irresponsible rate of return and I should know better than encouraging such madness, but what the heck I started a demo account and glad to report a nice+1.15% gain after first days trading…
Not so sure this will ever translate to a 4000% gain in a years time but will be an interesting experiment if nothing else…
I’m not a great lover of backtesting, but if you’re going to do it I think it should be at the very least 5 years and of the highest quality available.
I have never previously traded gold, but having looked at the charts the trends seem a lot more stable and sustained than the major FX pairs…
interesting…
If the demo continues to go well I will run live forward test on a cent account. Must be more people that can post feedback/ experience with this?
One week on demo testing, account +19.26% (6.55%DD).
First impressions: I like that the EA uses the D1 timescale, this suggests it is looking at the broader picture. The trades themselves sometimes last a few seconds, so in a real environment there may well be issues with inevitable slippage/latency. So far the EA took 11 trades in a week, which isn’t a huge number, again indicating it is waiting for specific entries/ conditions and has well defined parameters.
The main gripe I would have is with the lot sizing - bit on the large side for me and in a real environment I would definately reduce this, especially with the extremely short duration of some of the trades. For example, I had a 2second trade which TP at +8.06% and another of 9s which TP at +7.03%.
Given the very short duration I suppose they could quite easily have gone the other way and with a few more of those in sucession my account would be blown in the blink of an eye… Then again, as I say the EA is scanning the D1 candles so I have much more confidence.
Only time will tell I suppose. The backtests suggest the EA has the potential to handle different conditions quite well.
Nice that i found this post, it’s an interesting EA.Can you report your results on forward test on the demo account?
I`m very curious how is the bot doing in real time trading.
Also i agree with your, gold is very predictable.I dont know what timeframe this bot uses, but gold on high timeframe is mostly going up, since the dollar is weakening day by day.
Also you can look for a correlation = EUR/USD uptrend = XAU/USD uptrend =XAG/USD uptrend = OIL/USD uptrend and so on.Maybe by adding this feature to the EA it can be made even more profitable, what do you think?
