Re: why dosen't work in my demo account

Have you connected with Forex Strategy Trader..?

Did you use the correct identifier with the FST EA.?

My 'secret' goal is to push EA Studio until I can net 3000 pips per day....

Re: why dosen't work in my demo account

Connected with FST is ok. Demo strategy working ok.
The correct identifier with the FST EA - I don't now. How to check?
Thanks
Robert

Re: why dosen't work in my demo account

When you are connecting to MT4, you have to use the ea and in the ea you have to enter the same number as you have entered in FST....


Does that help....?

Re: why dosen't work in my demo account

"enter the same number as you have entered in FST", I not enter a number to the FST.
When I enter my ID number in the ea FST, the MT connection is disconnected.

Re: why dosen't work in my demo account

Demo strategy on MT is working good, example: Demo 01 Entry and Exit points,  Test Trade and other.
But i don't know how long i have to wait for open this strategy.I had it open yesterday and FTS did not do anything (no operation).
That's why i don't know if my FTS works.
Now i have open this strategy :
(i took this strategy from this forum)

Re: why dosen't work in my demo account

Timeframe, but I saw it already.

How long have you been running this strat? If you test the strat in FSB, how many trades per day? Other than that everything seems to be in order.

Re: why dosen't work in my demo account

This strategy which i was talking about is open since few hours. This strategy in FTB is making about 4 trades per day.
Can you sent me some strategy ( NOT DEMO because they close all my trades with minus) please? I would like to try it today and tomorrow.

Re: why dosen't work in my demo account

So, it does few trades per day and you have been running it only few hours, how can you establish that FST is not working? To make sure FST is not working, let it run on M1, bar opening -> indi of your choice with period 1 -> bar closing. If and only if it then fails to trade, there might be a problem.

Can you sent me some strategy ( NOT DEMO because they close all my trades with minus) please?

If you find a reliable strat which closes all trades in profit, let me know as well, I'm very interested in that too! big_smile
