  1. I guess everyone has their own solutions. I give Kangaroo the priority, because it will sometimes open multiple trades to make up for a losing trade. With WallStreet, I limit the lot size to what my account can afford. Wallstreet seems to have more losses than Kangaroo, at the end of the day. You do lose some profits by limiting the trade size of Wallstreet, but then that allows Kangaroo to do what it needs to do if it has to enter 4 or 5 open trades at the same time. IMO. Put another way. I trust Kangaroo more than I trust WallStreet when it comes to having to make a choice between both EAs. Also, some NFA brokers will stop 1 of 2 EAs from opening trades if it is the same currency pair, until the first trade closes. But, the problem with that is that Kangaroo will no longer get the priority. If WallStreet is in a trade, then Kangaroo "won't" trade. Kangaroo doesn't trade every day, but when it does, it is usually a good trade. WallStreet seems to trade "every day", so I have no problem limiting WallStreet's lot size, if it will avoid a margin call on a Kangaroo trade. :|

     

    Hi,

     

    I am currently testing two EAs (WallStreet and Kangaroo) to use on the same account. I did some backtests with Dukascopy Data and merged the results together in Excel to analyse.

     

    Thereby I found that it can happen that both WallStreet and Kangaroo have open positions with all of their pairs at the same time. This doesn't happen often, but it is possible. When left at their standart risk settings (Kangaroo: 20% per pair, WallStreet 5% per pair) there is a chance that at some point both EAs risk in total about 60% of the account (actually it would probably be less, as the EAs calculare their lot size according to the free margin, which will be decreased with each trade opened).

     

    The dilemma now is: this happens only a few times. Reducing the risk of each EA would reduce the overall risk in such a situation, but also reduce the profits of trades where no other EA is trading.

     

    Therefore I was wondering if it somehow is possible to automatically turn of an EA when another EA is trading? Is there already some EA, script or plugin which could realize this, or is it possible to code somthing?

     

    I am grateful for any replies!

    Thanks!

  2. I guess I never saw the splash page. The only page I knew about was http://www.leotraderpro.com/ which basically is a sales promotion to get you to buy it. But, I didn't see any version mentioned. Just interviews at a convention. :-/

     

    Is it just me or did they change the splash page? When I first made this post the sales page was for v2 and now it has gone back to the original. Or am I wrong. Has the vendor longin changed?
  3. They said today that the release date of 2.0 on April 21st was incorrect information that some "affiliates" were promoting. In other words "2.0 release is officially delayed until further notice". Although I wouldn't be surprised if it gets released within a few weeks or less. :-$ I only hope it performs better than their first release which had a small TP and a LARGE SL.

     

    I'm sure a bunch of us are going to or already have been getting this in our inboxes.I find the end of the email kinda funny.

    "P.S. Version 1.0 changed FX when it debuted…we can only imagine what

    2.0 is going to do!".......The first thing that came to my mind when I read this was..."what..WORK?????":)):))

     

    If anyone is willing to share any info when it becomes available, I'm sure I'm not the only one to see if this launch of Leo Trader will actually LAUNCH!!!:D

  4. Yes, I am confused about that. Their 2.0 promotion states that it has been making over 100% per month, but when I log into their account (FinFx Account 1331) it shows that the EA is actually "down" $126.66, over the past 3 months, such that, 1 losing trade on 3/17/11 took away 3 months of winning trades. So, with an average daily gain on the account of $3 to $6, and 1 losing trade of $132.04, it takes MANY days to make up for that one loss. So, the average monthly gain is not 148% per month, as they claim, but closer to 0% until they make up for the -$126.66 that they are still in the hole for as of today.:-?

     

    so theyve run another 5 live accounts since launch and selected the best one (or the one they didnt blow) to parade out. nice work.
  5. After testing I further noticed that without the dll file the educated version will not even authenticate. So, maybe it is a spread problem.

     

    But, I still don't know why the licensed version is not giving the same problem?

     

    OK. Thanks. Yes, that's what I meant. So, including the dll file in the library folder is not interfering with the EA trading. I guess I'll keep everything the same here for a few more days....
  6. Are you using the DLL File?

    I am getting trades with the licensed version, but not the educated version. But, I am also using the DLL file. Maybe the DLL file isn't necessary for the educated version? Most other educated EA's don't require a DLL file. Many times a DLL file can actually cause problems with educated EA's. But, some educated EAs do requre the dll file. :-?

     

    I got atrade with 3 Pips Profit with edu on IBFX demo
  7. My understanding is that it cannot be back tested because most of the code is top secret. If people were able to back test it they may then be able to duplicate the strategy through reverse engineering. So, for now I guess we have to trust that next April we will be lucky and receive another piece of the puzzle....[-O<

    can anybody explain to me whay besttradeonly EA dosent open position in backtest?????

    please help me

    wjhat about the result

    thanks

  8. I agree the price is reasonable. I took some large loses with it last month so had to turn it off. But, I am still optimistic about trying the new version. Just haven't had time to install it yet, because I don't want to overload my MT4 platform with too many robots. I may have to remove some that were being tested and try this one again. :|

     

    Nah ~all joking aside here is my $.02 worth.===I have used this since v3.** and it has been steady. There was a period late last year where it did not do well at all [v4.22]. I have not gotten around to put the new version on yet but will be within the week. The limited version can trade live but only with .01/.02 lots. That is how I started with this. The free version does the same as the paid version, live or demo, just limited risk. It is not a scalper. It does well in trending markets and during consolidation and during the month of Dec. it is advised to trade cautiously. I think I am going to put mine in my Oanda MT4 acct. Above all Ming and Steadywinner is worth the $28 they are asking it. It payed for itself within the first couple of days of trading and Ming has always been prompt and professional with support.

     

    Update: I have one demo on Alpari US that is doing quite well with around 15 positive trades and 4 negative trades. Even when some were taken to SL it made positive pips. Live Oanda MT4 is in same positive overall trading. SteadyWinners. Nothing to dramatic like the hype of many unworthy bots, just smaill and steady gains.

     

    I hope that helps. Speaking for myself, after reading the posts and listening to the people that have time invested with SteadyWinner are, for the majority, trading with this still and would advise someone that the small fee of $28 is a rare bargain for an EA like this. Just my humble opinion.=D>=D>

  9. Also, that is an older version, which had some bugs that needed to be fixed. Particularly the news update, and some compatibility with ECN brokers. The newer version fixes all that. :|

     

    "In Demo Account in works fine"

     

    Ahem, sure...

     

    1. The mq4 is not even compiling (full of errors)

    2. Still has the dll function calls inside

    3. But the dll is missing from the rar archive

    4. The website you linked can accept comments. I have wrote there that this version is not working. Guess what? My comment was moderated out.

    5. Therefore I think that download is just for pumping up the traffic of that site (Google Ads?).

    6. I rather won't guess who is the owner of that site or link. We would not be surprised.... :)
