IT Network Administrator Engineer at Private Network
Hello dear fellow Traders, Greetings from Mexico.
Thanks for visiting my page and I hope that you are doing very well at any wherever in the world that you are.
mql4.com profile: https://www.mql5.com/en/users/fxmechanic?utm_campaign=MQL4.community mql5.com profile: https://www.mql5.com/en/users/fxmechanic
I'm a computer network engineer, I do some low level programming, and I'm learning the mql4 code. I will deal with the mql5 later.
Despite of my career, I am leading my self to become full time Forex Trader and Expert Advisor user for Auto Trading.
I decided to establish this page on the factor that I have seen many traders using Expert Advisors to take care of their financial investments.
Now, there are so many options available to choose from the newest and most advanced systems, proven to work well on the Forex Markets.
I Have set my goals to run up to 300 or more EAs and Signal Systems with several Forex Brokers and with initial live balances from $200 USD.
Also, I’m going to check Free and Paid Expert's Signals for about 2 or 3 months on demo accounts before placing them on live accounts.
I will try to keep you guys informed about my results and recommendations regarding the performances.
Also, I will try to write my own Expert Advisor based on my criteria of the maket and place the Signals for share when available.
Thanks and I Hope the best for you. Sincerely,

FX Mechanic
====================================================================================
A TRUE FACTOR ABOUT THE SIGNALS,
After so much struggling, I finally realized how to solve the problems of the signals. I found the hard way that it is VERY IMPORTANT to establish my accounts as the same as the signal providers in regards to:

SAME BROKER, SAME SERVER, SAME ACCOUNT TYPE, and SAME LEVERAGE, for it to work properly.

NOTE: Sometimes the SERVER may be different, exemple signal providers using LIVE, you using DEMO, or vice versa
Without regards of the Account BALANCE or SIZE of the orders because I can always control that from my terminal, including the risk level.
I HOPE the METAQUOTES comes soon with the TOKEN technology as promised, that will solve alot of signals pitfalls.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A BED THING of some Signal Providers is that they don't place STOPS in the orders, it is insane and mql5.com should not allow this.

SHAME ON YOU mql5.com Last night there was no conection to signal providers and my accounts still had open trades, SHAME ON YOU !!!
This morning (5/16/2013) I had to restatrt all of my platforms to get the frikking signals connected, that definetlly makes this entire sysem "UNTRUSTABLE", thank god I was only runnning demos, I can not imagine what happened to those using live accounts.
My last impression is, to make the autotrading connection 100% reliable we most run the Esperts directly in out computers.
Other than that, my opinion about the signals and conectivity is that they are in a "BAG FULL OF BROWN STUFF"
Wait a minute, I checked my other computers for miss connection and they where good, the only ones that whent off are the ones that I have connected with Alpari. Sorry mql5.com, the SHAME goes for Alpari, Am I BED or what?, jejejeje
