edit: with 87% winning on tests you'll know real fast if its working on real. If it takes more losses than what the test show the max loss is then disable it and cut losses. Worth a try.

Those are good questions. I don't know why the differences occur that seem to plague testing environments.
Interestingly enough, the results got which are so good come from the time range of about Jan-Feb 2006 to the present. Prior to that going back to 2004.06.16 using alpari data the performance is very pathetic. If all I tested on was 2004-2005 I would have not given this EA a second glance, it's terrible. Then around first quarter 2006 some magic fairy waves a magic wand and this thing just catches hold of something...whamo..it goes into millions from nothing...It can start with less than $100 and still do it. I don't know what is different about the market or whatever that it doesn't perform until this year and then it goes stellar. I havn't as yet calculated the total win/loss ratio over the full three year peiord, so I just put forth the best of the best using only this years results.
I am wondering what I could do to make it still better. While I am considering going live with a mini account on it my wife made this statement, "If it really is giving this kind of growth then you have nothing to lose by being patient and allowing the demo forward test to teach you more about it before you risk real money."
