EA - the trash division

[iwjw]

Hi traders,

in the course of time I'm flooded with EAs and lost track of which to keep and which to trash. They are beginning to waste my time.

My suggestion is to make up a list of EAs that are absolutly not worth to even look at them...could become a very long list.

Maybe you could post'em here with a short description what type of EA and what your experiences with this EA are. I would enter them into a list here in the first post.

We could categorize them in Martingale, Scalper, Grid, Trendfollower or whatever

A 100% trash criterion for me is blowing the account anytime during the last 5-10 years

A 80% trash criterion could be DD > 50%

 

What do you think?

see problem is..you would need to go back look at each ea, test it and then decide its not worth looking at..again *>)

A website called cash master blog have a list of failed systems.

They are on the left hand side of the page and they have been forward tested so they are reliable results.

Exactly that is what I wanted to avoid for me now and for others in future...some kind of reciprocal altruism
