ES,

In the past I have given more then often proof here on this forum and in my trading room that I manage a 1.2Milj fund true a mananged account.
So the answer to your question is yes.

If you would have managed a fund in a serious way you would know that 30%over a year doesn't mean a thing.
For all the same someone says he made 20% profit on a 10:1 lev. account an other person says he made 30% on a 200:1lev account. Witch one makes made the most profit ?...The one on the 10:1lev account made 20x times!! more pips.

As said in my previous post, one can make 30% profit but had a 50% MaxDD. An other makes "only" 20% profit but had a MaxDD of only 5%. Witch one is more profitable?...By far the last one...
etc...etc...

But forget my sujestions and posting.
To put it with a saying that we have in my country:

PS. You say you want to HELP people to IMPROVE their EA but you also say you don't want or don't need the code.
How are you going to help them to improve the EA if you don't know the rules and mecanics of a system . By saying the results are not to my satisfaction or the results are very nice ?....that is not much of a help isn't it.
I don't think that the author of an EA is waiting for this kind of help because he can do that on his own. He can see for himself if the results are good or bad without anyone else confirming this. And this way does not need to GIVE anyhting away FO FREE where normally someone should be compensated for his work.
You make it sound that it is a lot of work to run an EA and that you should have some compensation for that....
You give me an idea... I need a new TV. I gonna go to the shop and ask the salesman if I can take a TV with me without paying. I tell him I gonna look to it for a couple of months and if it works properly I gonna ask him a serious compensation or reduction because I helped him testing his TV.
