    Did you now program the EA to chose the pairs or they are hand picked? And if yes which pairs will be traded in the future?
    Regards the backtest issue with multipair systems, nevertheless I would like to see some quality backtest for the single pairs to get an idea of the success rate and DD.
    Thanks.

      Completely automated, no manual intervention, yes, someone gave a program link which will make the multicurrency back testing possible, need sometime to get the results, i do not know how to use it yet.

      the EA trades all the 28 pairs, majors and crosses, no exotics. At a time only two are traded.

        Perfect! Waiting for the BT.. Since I don't see any SL most of the time on your mfb account I guess the trades get closed by a max % of loss setting. Is that right? Your max % loss will than always be 20%? I'm asking bc I trade on bigger account size but with your lot size. It would mean I can reduce my max DD tolerance level dramatically :-)

          No, the SL is hidden, as in the EA knows whats the SL is, just that its not shown because if its exposed most of the times people will stop hunt, when the bid goes below the SL on a buy trade, all the trades on the currency pair will be closed. And this will amount to 10% loss for a currency pair, so its all precalculate. One thing to note, as the master account has only 100+ $, the strict MM of 20% is assured only if subs take 0.5% risk, please check my 3rd post in this thread for more details.

            OK thx. To be clear, I trade on 2800 bucks account with risk set to 0.1%, means I'll trade the same 0.01 lot size as you regards the calculator has shown. That means I can drop my max DD tolerance level to 5- 6% and I will be on the safe side

                till the original balance goes above 200$ we are advised to use risk 0.5 to match the risk of the original strategy

                  The formulaw is simple, you want to use 700 for this strategy out of your 1700 capital. i.e 41% of your capital,

                  so 41% of 0.5 is your risk, i.e. 0.2x.

                    Done.. now it updates at every 5 minutes
                    it is not updating every 5 mins

                      Hi Nick,

                      I'm interested in subscribing to this signal. Nick can you please tell me how to do?
                      Wanted to subscribe to SS but unfortunately it's not possible anymore.

                          Hi Nick and all!

                          This is my first post here, so let me say, first, I'm very glad to be part now of this great community of forex traders!

                          Well, I was looking at the closing price (1.62402) of the three EURNZD Long trades yesterday, on Vijay's Scalper System: well, I don't understand how these trades get closed, because I cannot find such price on 23.00 1h candle (max was @ 1.62003), neither on HotForex EURNZD chart, nor with any other broker, also considering the high spread of this pair.

                          Someone (SmartTrader first, of course) could enlighten me about this?

                          Many thanks and regards,

                          Fabio

                            I have just observed this in other broker, FXCM, i did not see the last bar high touching 62402, however in hot forex the last bar high is 62736.

                              weird, maybe it is time to change broker before publishing the signal, 40 pips is very high difference imho , could this be due to insanely high spread at that time ?
                              here is my chart on FXOpen (first image)
                              and Forex.com ( second image)
                              both are real accounts

                                I dont think its bec of the spread, and i never seen such things earlier too. could this be bec of there were no liquidity at that time but only hotforex subs had ask n bid at those levels and they got fulfilled? wil this work like this? am not sure.
