Does it give any message in the journal or expert tab of the terminal from mt4 that could give a hint at the cause of your problem?

Hey thanks for the replies guys,

 

I am trying to automate the managing part with excel, so far that part went well. The performance however did not.
I export my trades with an ea I made and import it to excel. then I can calculate profit factor on different timeframes (weekly, or monthly or total).
Then i export a list with the magic numbers I would like to be traded to my mock/live account.
Biggest problem I think I have is that the ea will perform well and gets on my list. But then it trades badly, and drops off my list. So I mostly got the bad trades, while I was trying to filter the cherries. Also I noticed I was just dropping alot of ea in the demo account, maybe it is too much and I should aim for quality over quantity.

 

I tried updating my excel every 5 minutes/hourly/daily and weekly, but most times it gets in negative once it goes live.

So maybe I will try if I can see if an ea is “trending” like you are trying, but I think I have to go back to the drawing board for that.
Also I will focus more on the course ea’s I think.

Hello all,

 

I need some advise on managing the live EAs

Do you guys just keep running your live ea until it is below 1.2 pf and then remove it from your live account, until its profitable again?

Do you look for the performance over the last couple days/weeks?Do you look for the profit factor over the period over the past week/month or over all the data?
Do you just keep EAs running on your demo for a long time to see when its profitable again? or do you use the validator for that?
Any input is much appreciated

 

Kind Regards,

 

Paul

Hello Petko and Sam,

 

I just started using EA studio and this is certainly helpful.

Looking forward to your next videos.
