Several times I have mentioned that I run Euro-Blaster (or any expert advisor for that matter) on a VPS. Today someone emailed me asking what a VPS was. I answered him, but I will give a brief description here in case any other readers have the same question.
VPS is short for “virtual private server”. When [...]

What is a VPS, and why use one?
Oh trades, where art thou?
Well, I’m not exactly sure why, but this week I have had only one Euro-Blaster trade thus far on my FXDD demo account. I’m a bit perplexed by this, but it may have something to do with my running multiple copies of MT4 concurrently. That’s just a guess, though. Up until a few minutes ago, [...]

Basically, they will award $89 (the price of the robot) to whomever can show the greatest one-month percentage gain using the expert advisor. The account can be either [...]

If you are [...]
First week’s results nothing to sneeze at!
Well, I just completed my first week of forward demo testing with the Euro-Blaster EA. I must say I am quite impressed thus far with this expert advisor. The current demo is at FXDD using the “aggressive” preset that comes with the Euro-Blaster package. This preset has the risk set to 10% and the stoploss [...]
One of the lucky ones
If you read my previous entry, you saw where I recently lost a rather large bundle of money by manually trading the Forex market (well, at least it was a large bundle to me!). This drove me to resume in earnest my search for a profitable expert advisor that could handle my trading for me. [...]
Why use expert advisors?
Euro-Blaster is an expert advisor (otherwise known as an EA or robot). Some folks frown upon the use of expert advisors for trading the Forex market. They reason that only a human is able to make the necessary judgment calls during a typical trading session. And there is some truth in this. Most EAs are [...]
