Hi

If you look closely, almost every Account Crasher EA is "crashing" the account after a long series of orders. Statistically, random trading will lose the spread multiplied with the number of trades => after a large number of trades, you will lose all your money.

Let's say that we have the AccountCrasher EA (AC) and the Reversed EA (R).

Day1: AC is losing 50 pips -> R is winning 48 pips. (50-2p spread)

Day2: AC is losing another 100 pips and crashes the account-> R is winning 98 pips. AC has lost everything and R has gained 146 pips. If you stop now, it is ok! But how do you know when to stop??????

Day 3: AC would have win150 pips (if it had any margin) and R will lose 152 pips. So you will lose either way!

Do you see my point?
