I just ran a quick backtest of this EA. I know backtesting isn't very accurate in MT4, but I just wanted to see what this thing could generate. I was following the development of this EA on the Yahoo MT group for a while, but forgot about the idea.
Results are very impressive with a 56.49% modeling quality. The results went back to the beginning of this year. The only thing I find strange is that in the last couple thousand trades, account equity has not grown. The balance has been around $750k since the middle of June. You could see the equity curve continue to grow at a steady pace for almost the entire year and then just go flat.
Obviously, an EA like this would require some special money management. The best idea I have heard so far is to pull equity out of the account after it grows a certain percent. For example, once you triple an account, you pull out your original investment. If I turn $5k into $15k, I pull out $5k. I then have $10k in the account. When I turn that $10k into $30k, I pull out $10k. I then have $20k in the account. This would prevent you from losing all of your money.
