Odd EA works on testing

[JohnCrawdford]

Hello,

This is a very strange EA someone sent me, I tested it with the demo account and it works , but only for the EUR/USD

and only if using small amounts of money (small amounts as a percentage of the account balance), it only works when there is good volatility, but not too fast.

Use the strategy tester

Use the strategy tester, use last week as a time-frame, and remember that this EA causes the Equity to keep jumping up and down (negative to positive ... ) obviously the EA should only be stopped when the Equity is positive (but the strategy tester disregard that fact ), use the exitMode=True; to avoid getting to the end of the execution of the strategy tester with a negative equity value, but remember that exitMode will cause the EA to Stop after reaching the profit target by the first time. Don't panic just because the Equity falls a little bit, it always recovers... it might take time.
