Thanks Giapek for the update here. Looks great but i suspect we are carrying a large float currently.

What we are looking for here is which currencies to trade and which ones not to. The the float issue should not be as bad an issue as we will not be opening trades on several currencies that are tending to keep the trades open far too long. Also we have to consider that the markets took a severe plunge this month, some 1k in pips on some currencies and they are recovering, however slowly.

Personally the current market conditions has and the recent plunge has proven to take Excalibur to task and we will see how it does under these conditions.

All the demo accounts I have running currently are in the black with a minor drawdown.

My personal "live" account is in the same position and recovering slowly as well as gaining on the swap rates as well.

I expect to see a few demo accounts killed here, and learn from the information supplied with these tests here.

Currently I have used all the data for the EUR/USD and programmed Excalibur V3 to work more than well so far on this currency.

When done my hope is to have it trade on at least four majors and leave it at that.

Until then we need to look at the different chart times and adjust until we find the best . Currently all information points towards the 30 chart.

We should also see a proper stop loss in the final version.
