A little contribution to this thread

I ran a lot of tests with this EA. I made some observations:

1. All versions accumulate profits regularly, provided the market does not stay too quiet or make a strong move with low volatility.

2. Some versions accumulate more than others.

3. Expected return may range up to 30% monthly (in live accounts I am using the combined version).

4. Backtests and live results show that there is a real risk of giving back the accumulated profits. You can set the risk extremely low but in this case the expected return may turn extremely low too.

In general, I came to the conclusion that any system (I tried some others) that enters the market blindly (without analysis - randomly or systematically) in essence just pays spread in the long run.

In a small live account I am still running it. I expect to turn it off when the market looks dangerous (too quiet for a long time). This is the contribution of analysis (positive or negative??). High volatility has demonstrated repeatedly to be very profitable.

Hope this helps. This system has been earning real $$ and this is the way I found to contribute to the thread.
