Hello Araza,

Personally I like the look of this portfolio - PF of 2, low max draw down (7.92% isnt so bad... on a 1k account - that a loss of 80 bucks if you start in drawdown). Sharpe ratio of 0.25 - but amazing SQN (>5 is awesome).

But maybe let me put it in another way.. if you have done your homework (i.e using your tools to build strategy) and you wont risk 1k USD - then you aren't serious about trading forex. If you are truly nervous - throw it in Demo, run for 6 months and you can compare the stats.   If the personality of your portfolio seems the same - throw your 1k into an account and hit play

Your a smart guy - if you can't recover from risking 1k, then your doing something wrong.. so... GO FOR IT!

Hi
Thank you for your responses. I am not nervous as at all about investing $1,000..I put this out there as so far all the EAs that I have developed give me worse drawdown than in the backtest. I never do demo account as only do 0.01 lots and my experience shows demo results to e very different from live. I have launched EAs in both demo and live and results were different.

I put this out there so see if the way I am looking at an EA you would look at it the same way. DocZero approach helped me as that is how I look at an EA.

I had already launched the EA in a live account. So far in the last few months I have not had very good experience with Algo trading so have my fingers crossed and am in it for the long haul.

As for recovering lost money..lost my midas touch a few months back..anything I touch these days turns to dust....lol

Regards,
