I am running Iprofit from the 4th February and overall i am losing money: while EURUSD is very profitable all other pairs are losing money, so, from about 1 month have dropped all pairs other than EU. Made a short comparison between one of my 2 Activtrades accounts and the Fin FX ref account and found that while i amk profit of 510 pips, the ref account is in profit of only 272. I have made no manual interventions and i see on my account 2 trades more
There are only two eas which are running well: Rayscalper and Cabex
Iprofit and Turbit are not profitable. Synergy (anybody knows when the new version will be released?)was also not profitable.
Cabex long trade is [B]+201.5[/B] pips now on my account and still “tanking”
I think Cabex is the best commercial EA available at the moment.
One thing that has been always standard with phibase ref acc is that over the 3/4 years my accounts have always done better… so never had any complaining on this aspect :5:
Corre71, your assessment of running only EU does makes sense… but i havehad some good times with other pairs as well… especially gold and EJ… even AU in patches.
Pip gain/loss readings on charts From Jan 1st till date
EU = +508 pips
AU = -176 pips
GU = -44 pips
EJ = +163 pips
XU = -204 pips
iprofit is still in green by about 5% for the year… hope it gets back up soon.
The current dd started in april. my results from jan ist till end of march
EU = +515 pips
AU = -75 pips
GU = +121 pips
EJ = +372 pips
XU = +22 pips
During the losing period from april EU was flat. most losses seem to have come from
Gold (-220 pips)
EJ (-200 pips)
AU (-100 pips)
GU (-160 pips)
GU has been long time under performer. I dont remember seeing it gain for more than two months in a row… but phibase feels this can be a good contributing pair.
Other pairs have been profitable. During losing periods they seem to get hit harder. EJ and Gold for example have been one of the strong gainers in some months. AU had one of the best gaining runs when i first started out with iProfit…
I had emailed phibase last month questioning the need to run GU and AU… but they still feel the strategy will do well running all the five recommended pairs. I think their main idea is diversification with different pairs. May be they fell that when EU will go thru losing period… other pairs like GU, gold or EJ will do well…
AGreed its been good for 2 years now… pretty rare for a ea to survive for so long and still be profitable.
Currently cabex buy open with +170 pips floating gain… This ea sure can catch the big moves with a cool head
Ray buy open with -40 pips floating loss… expecting this trade to hit sl… EU is likely to move down one step :20: I dont manual interfere… so letting it run…
The Ray long trade at the end closed at + 30.5 pips and on my accounts Ray is at new equity high. Now Ray is short @ 1.22296 and honestly i do not like this short because the trend is up. Fortunately have other EAs who are long on EU. Maybe today is my best trading day on EAs: i am up on some accounts of about 10% :10:
Yeah that that Buy did indeed close for a +30 pip gain… I was bracing myself for a sl hit but EU decided to jump higher… so much for my prediction :30: Have the open sell now floating with a 30 pip loss.
cabex had a home run… closed the buy for +285 pips :7:
cabex and ray have been teaming up very well…
Small OT: other old friends will join us here soon
Ray sell ended with a -80 pip loss and followed it up with a buy which is currently sitting pretty on a +55 pip floating gain.
Cabex entered buy again at 1.5660 and is floating with +90 pips… :51:
The long on Ray closed at + 58 pips while the Cabex long is still in place. These EAs Are wonderful, for this market, but FE Combination is very close to take the 3rd place now of Rayscalper (and running if only from 1 month). Other small OT: today other great day for breakouts and now all my accounts in May Are in gain from 12% up to 43% (Thinkforex is up 43% in 13 days) and IC Markets and my 2nd Activtrades account of about 30%
With FGB i learnt that Running BO strategies is an art by itself. they can gain 50% a month and lose 50% slowly which is like slow poison. Am staying away from BO’s until we have a 100% non optimized one for general purpose.
I dont have wind fall gains as yet… but its been quite a good year so far with some decent gains from ray and cabex mostly… these are ea’s i have been able ti run nonstop for 3 and 2 years respectively. that is more important to trader like me who are not good at timing and understanding markets. :43:
my Equity gains in 2015
Cabex = +29%
ray scalper = +38% (max allocation 10)
This has been a great start to the year… for both cabex and ray. Cabex started out a bit dull but hot really hot… it almost made 400 pips during UK elections and is now having a long floating with another +100 pip gain
iprofit = +5%, seems to have started recovery from dd this week… got in a few good gainers over last few days.
wally = -11% also seems to be recovering from a bad start.
Over all, this is been one of the best start I have had using EA’s.
Manual strategies have been struggling for past couple of months.
Mike, fortunately today BOs are notl like FGB: currently running as BOs:
Monetizer: my second best performer after Cabex and with results much much better than Ray
Fe Combination: it has 5 strategy and the one i like more is the “Vola” one based on volatility, similar to Monetizer but much more active: running this from 3 weeks and consider that now is my 3rd best performer (after Cabex and Monetizer, and so in 3 week surpassed as gains the amount i have gained with Ray in almost 5 months), so consider where will be in some months in my list of best EAs. This the demo where i run Fe Combination + the Bo strategies of Forex Real profit EA on EU and GU:
Error | Myfxbook
On my Activtrades account am having the same results
Forex Real Profit straetgy 5 BO on EU, GU, UC and UJ from few weeks but with very good results
Keltner: it is losing on EU (which is supposed to be the better pair, and probably will be in the long run) but earning a lot on GBPUSD
The situation of BOs is changed fortunately from the time of FGB
Of course the market is strange, and maybe what works today will not tomorrow, but in the meantime …
I suggest u to consider some BO in ur portfolio, at least one
Fantastic week for Cabex, good gains for Ray and 1 trade only in gain for Iprofit on EU.
As for Iprofit this week further confirmed my opinion: is a good EA with consistent results and very low DD if runned only on EU, but If u run all the pairs at the best u will be at be. Why? The simplier explanation is that Iprofit is developed on EU and then simply ported on other pairs and gold. It cannot work. Again, if used only on EU, it is a good EA. I think that is time for Phibase to re consider this. Anyway they will not reach their yearly goal of 1500 pips and so they will not receive the new yearly fee. I am confident that they as usual will make some intervention on the EA. For the moment i am enjoing some gains on EU
EU might be the best pair for Iprofit, but the overall performance of this EA is still mediocre at best. IMO CabEx is the only Phibase EA that is worth the money.
Yes if you follow the results Cabex seems to be the best choice.
Cabex is perfect on the current market conditions and is a long term strategy
But BTs shows that on default risk it can reach 40% DD, so on real trading Also more, so on choppy Markets it will have its bad time. But there is no long term strategy which does not suffer on some particular market conditions. Good strategy suffer in some conditions, but then they recover fast. While overoptimized EAs at some time looks Fantastic, but then they fail miserably
Ray V3 is a good EA, but Cabex is better
As for Iprofit EU, my results Are much much better than the Fin FX ref account and Also better than Rayscalper with a very low DD. But the other pairs Are a disaster. Is like to attach Rayscalper not only on the eurusd chart, but Also on audusd, eurjpy, gbpusd and gold. Clearly the strategy is builded on EU
second greater than +280 pip winner from cabex this month :18: never imagined that this short would be a gainer. Market was all set for seeing 1.5900 when this short was in. Excellent trade and it had the nerve to hold it to gain so much.
Cabex up almost 20% this month so far! now 42% for 2015.
Nice gains! How long have you been running Cabex Mike and what are your total gains in %?
I have been running cabex since it was released in may 2013… so its been exactly two years now.
I run cabex along with other eas since my capital is split among different brokers. I was running cabby for most part of 2014 with higher allocation of 8 and 10 on some accounts.
I have given the portfolio allocation and gains in my earlier post
Cabex is running on about 75% of my capital now (along with ray). 20% is allocated only to running cabex. currently running with alloc 8.
Roughly calculating my gains from cabex, I think as of this month cabex has made about 108% since starting off. This could be in the range of about 70-80% running consistently at default risk level.
