azmel has plenty of room for improvement and no doubt is working long hours doing so...... he will eventually get it hammered out, give him time.....


until then, you can write ea's to hedge his orders..... this reduces the enivitable drawdowns.....

or better still, run his ea on risk 1, no mm and lots 0.01...... this reduces the true risk an absolute minimum.... then write an ea that trades off his signals.... this gives you greater control over which signals to be acted on and which to pass...... consider also having your ea take control of his orders even to the point of changing/replacing the order .......

it's a given the drawdowns will be neverending, count on it.... and use it to your advantage......h
