FPA Introduces EA Performance Testing

Aeron EA

You are right, it is looking horrible on FPA test.
But I am running it very conservatively, on FPA test it has used the default settings, that is 1% of free margin to calculate the initial lots size, but I specified the lots size, that covers only in 0.25% of free margin, so at present my drawdown is only 9.8%, but when all positions will close, sure there will be good profit.

Really? From the FPA test Aeron looks horrible. If it wasn't trading micro lots those open trades would have wiped out the account by now.

In the crash and burn department, Forex Derivative lost over 93% of account equity, and Forex Humanoid lost over 77% of account equity.


The people at Forex Robot World Cup contacted the FPA. It seems that some people were claiming that all the FRWC bots were running in demo accounts. FRWC denies this. They wouldn't let me add the FRWC EAs to the FPA's Performance Testing Program yet, but did give me the investor passwords to 10 of them. I checked and can confirm that the LMD-Multicurrency, HiRIDER, SuperVolcano, VREM2, Nutcracker, Simple, Neg-Correlation-USDCHF, Zoop-EURJPY, AkuKaya, and USFX accounts appear to be on live accounts and were not running on a demo server at the brokerage. I've set up a review page for FRWC here...

Question about performance testing on FPA...

Are the tests done here at FPA done on live accounts? Are some on live and others on a demo account?

Thank you.

 

[Pharaoh]

Each one is marked live or demo. The bulk are demo, but a few are live.

Demo or Real

What difference does it make if it is demo or real?

Does the FPA plan on continuing its testing of the USDBOT when its evident that its programing was all stolen from Forex Factory site, and pretty obvious that the person selling it is neither a trader or a programer, and just anouther internet marketer clipping stuff off the free forums to sell to the Forex market. I'm suprised that the members here are not more upset by this, the way they were when Richard Stevenson stole the programing for his Forex Magic Machine and tried to sell it for $149

What difference does it make if it is demo or real?

On a real account the spread width will vary with the circumstances, you will encounter slippage durring any quick market movement, and often not get orders filled at the price you offer. Consider, you have pending orders to open or close a position on both a demo and live account, and important news is released that causes the market to move 100 pips in less than 1 minute. Your demo will record the exact price you entered as the buy or sell price, while your live account will be off by 80-100 pips, or possibly not fill at all. If the order was a stop loss you will have lost an additional 80-100 pips, ouch. If it was a profit target will will most likely get the price you offered while someone else collects the difference. If it was an entry order you will most likely have not entered due to the slippage control. I have seen all of these happen at one time or anouther.
