Hi,

Over the last year, I have developed a couple of EAs that have proven to be profitable over a longer period of time on demo accounts (couple of months) and backtests over 10 years. I have held off any live trading because I have had previous experiences with the FX market...this time I don't want to take any unnecessary risks.

Now, it's time for me to move a couple of profitable EAs over to live trading. I wish to start out with smaller accounts (300-500€) to again spread the risks. I have spent some evenings doing research (on Internet) about potential brokers... however there is so much contradiction all over the place so I hope that some of the more experienced EA trading forum members can help me out here.

Requirements:

-No dealing desk (will not trade against me)

-HONEST!

-Servers located in EU

-MT4 platform

-Allow hedging

-Regulated

-Active for 3 years or more

-1:100, 5 digits, min account of 500€ or lower

Wish list:

-little or no slippage

-little or few re-quotes

-small spread on majors

-allows scalping

-easy to withdraw money

Please, only experienced EA traders answer and I am no interested in advertising from broker affiliates etc.

backtested free version

I did some BTs on the free EA here:

http://gridmeupfx.is-leet.com/download.html

(Gridmeupfx 2.0 Basic)

I couldn't make it work for a longer period of time, especially not before 2009. Perhaps that's why the BTs on the developers page only shows from 2009 and on? Has anybody succeeded in backtesting this EA for a longer time period? If so please post your set file.

I don't like grid EAs, this seems to be another one for the bin.

i downloaded the zip file from post no1 in this thread. how are these EAs educated? ex4 files and DLLs intact. An educated EA is NO DLL file and mq4 format. Interesting bots though if someone could take the time to unpack and decompile the DLLs it would be interesting to see what we can do with them.

I did a backtest of OddBod 1.3 (from xxl205) from 2006.01.01 to 2011.12.01 on EURUSD15 and it was pretty choppy. It did survive and was in profit all the way, started at 1000 and was >40k at one time and ended at 7k. drawdown was > 59%. Modeling quality 90%. Could anyone do a test with higher modeling quality same timeframe?

cheers
