I dunno.. I ponied up and bought the $29 version, we'll see if it backtests.

 

Finally got the registered version working, it does backtest, and the backtest results are very good, for whatever that's worth.

 

If you buy the $29 version, once you are registered the "ultimo" version will also work.

Cheers

I registered on customer area and wrote the e-mail on "ultimo" version without success.

I did as you mentioned with "ultimo" version shared before, but it shows:

2010.11.05 18:04:10 forexcashbotultimo_edu EURUSD,H1: expert stopped

2010.11.05 18:04:10 forexcashbotultimo_edu EURUSD,H1: cannot load library 'forexcashbotultimo.dll' (error 126)

Did you run it with any success?

First, to answer other queries, no, I will not post backtests.

Backtests are only useful to demonstrate that the EA is operating correctly, and even they are specific to your broker.

If you don't understand how MT interpolates ("makes up") data then you need to.

How many times have you been fooled by backtests already?

 

Yes, mine works.

 

My first quess would be that you don't have the 'forexcashbotultimo.dll' loaded and/or you don't have dll calls clicked on, but I'm not an expert.

 

 

It's $29 with a 60 day refund. What is the big deal?

Yes,

 

most tests are done with metaquotes historical data, so no matter which broker you are using they will be the same.

 

interpolated 1 minute data can be an issue sometimes, that is why birt's dukascopy data is a fantastic tool to test on.

Well, yes and no.. this assumes you purge all your history files and download quality data, usually from Alpari. I think a lot of folks who backtest don't do this.

If this is not done you'll get a mix of your broker's data and historical data, the source of which is really unknown, which skews the backtest especially in the short term.

 

The opposite holds true when you begin to run a new EA; you need to force the broker's data into each TF chart of the pair you're using so that the EA isn't calculating indicator values from mixed data.

Friday 5th November 2010 I bought EA FCB and was transfer $29, but I have not been able to get the EA ... I've asked the customer support but no response ... .. is it a SCAM?

It took over 24 hours for the vendor to register my copy for use. My emails were ignored.

My forward testing shows bad results, I'm returning it.

My testing has resulted in a very linear negative equity line.

 

I'm going to try reversing the Buy/Sell signals and see what happens.

 

 

Many thanks to Frankie M. for the reverse engineered version.

I'm not sure I would trust the new dll-free version. The trading logic that replaced the dll doesn't make any sense in its coding. A reputable coder would definitely not code the comparisons that way. Why check if the same variable is > 8.xxx and also > 57.xxx and then > 93.xxx? My 2 cents...

Dear Conglo,nothing connected to my request about reverse engineered version in post number 42.

 

???

 

My post #45 is using the file posted in #42.

Maybe there's some confusion about the word "reverse"..

 

The file in post #42 has been reverse engineered to operate as the original only without the DLL. If you look at the file it's quite a piece of work.

I'm taking that one and then reversing the buy and sell signals.

 

Performance of the original version continues to deteriorate. I suspect the results the vendor posted are phony.

You do not download data from Alpari, you download Metaquotes data.
