1. never run 1 ea on an account with aggressive settings. i use this ea with the patrickb settings except my risk is turned down to 3. no higher I have 3 ea’s on the same account that all help each other and diversify that way the account won’t blow up. i have never blown a live account because of this.

2. never trust a back test. every programmer knows that mt4 tick data in a back test jumps around and therefore gives inaccurate data. all that lets me know is that the EA can enter and exit correctly. i bought it because of the forward statement, not because it could have supposedly made 31,000% in 2008 and back testing ea’s made recently will not do good either because they are built around todays volatility, not 2007 or 2004. this is why the owner talks about updating the ea as the market changes. and it will change eventually again. and so will the EA along with others or they will fail too, blowing up and account.

3 and you know this one different brokers have different results. if you look at my live stats compared to the owners demo stats, i am actually getting more trades and better trades because i don’t use market maker mt4’s. how is it that he gets less signals on a demo than i do in live? mostly because I’m am in MBtrading’s mt4 beta program and that is the purest of ECN’s i can think of for mt4 right now.

but all in all, it is a good ea when used in conjunction with other with the risk turned down

happy trading!
