I see we are both on eur/usd + your gbp/usd
Should one of us stop on the eur and try somethind else, I am only using 1 pair at the time but could increase that.

Rick,
I have added GBPUSD because it is the one pair that will get progressive EAs into trouble, my thinking being that if FXA0 - Ladderv0.01.mq4 can handle GU it can handle the most difficult pair.
Also with the small account size there is the definite possibility of hitting a margin call, all the better to see what the EA can handle. In other words I am intentionally giving this EA a hard time and if it succeeds it will prove to be a very useful EA and worthy of being used live.
Give it a diet of EURUSD with an account of $10000 using .01 units and you will never know its worth. Sure it will be profitable and never get into trouble but the returns would be minimal and as interesting as watching the grass grow.
I would suggest that you experiment with other pairs, USDJPY might be a good one to test that is another pair that easily gets into trouble.
John
