  1. Hi Rio, thanks for the EA...

     

    I copied the file into the expert folders, open up the chart, when I drag the EA to the chart, nothing happens!?

     

    So, I open the file up and compiled it, it shows 0 error and 0 warning...

     

    But, checking the folder cannot find the compiled .ex4 file??

     

    Your help is very much appreciated, thanks!

     

    Your problem is your MT4 rebuild 500. Try to use the old MT4 version.

  2. The worst I have seen this EA perform is on extended trend drops with no immediate pullback. From the 14th of Jan to the end of the month, the EA was placed under stress of a rather punishing trend on the GBPUSD. It used up next to all it's floor stops and the account was in 38% drawdown. However, price eventually DID come back into profit because it was the end of the month, and eventually the drawdown vanished on a slight pull back, and the account was back to profit at 0% drawdown.

     

    So there you go. That's as bad as it can get. On the tiniest $1500 account, this would have almost killed it, but it still would have survived. On an account with more cash, it may have given you cause to panic, but even still, price came back, and you still made a sizable profit at the end.

     

    In fact, the EA trades much like how the real market makers trade. It gives out money at every price point until equity is thin on the ground, and then does a pullback to put the equity back into profit.

    That's how the big banks trade, and they never really lose.

     

    I estimate that to safely run two pairs on the lowest lot step (0.01) you will need a lot of equity. A LOT more than $1500. Probably $6000 would be a good starting point.

     

    Hi Rio,

     

    Are you still running this EA live? I put this EA in demo on 2 pairs (EU & GU) and so far so good. Very low DD.

    Is it safe to run 1 pair on $1K account?

     

    Tks,
