ZuluTrade

ZuluTrade is a newer version or competitor to FXDD Auto. Please check them out…I’m just getting my Forex legs again and may start posting more findings.

PayPal Donation is available :) I need the money because I lost my life savings with the Steinitz EA :)

Minnelli — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 19:49:50 +0000

Rick had a great idea when he asked if I take PayPal donations, because from his standpoint I probably saved him a $1000, by not investing in the Steinitz EA.

I do okay for myself with my day job, but according to Steinitz my net worth is only $750 and I’m bitc*ing over losing $850 of a $1000 investment in the Steinitz EA. This just came out of right field as I was offering to test 2.4 when it was ready. So I’m begging everyone to give me money since I can’t afford to feed my family or pay the mortgage now

Actually I do keep my forex money segregated, so sure if you or anyone wants to throw a few bucks at me I will reinvest it back into Forex – which in turn will keep my site running strong as I try new providers and strategies.

I also promise my contributors I will not use real money on the Steinitz EA 2.4 until the stop losses have been proven to work and the hedging strategies get worked out. I will keep you all posted with my LIVE statement updates once that starts…

Thanks in advance…if folks actually start contributing I will move the money back into to play.

ForexRobotTrader by Steinitz (Metatrader Expert Advisor) | HAS MTF EA v2.2 – Tuesday, August 14 was MARGIN CALL DAY – It all started on July 2 with a $1000 and ended today (last night) with only $153.04 (I held on for a 89% Drawdown). That’s a $846.96 loss in a matter of 6 weeks. Again, we must point out this was a very conservative money management strategy I used. The death blow was obviously the JPY crosses, but other pairs did us in as well. Here are the margin call trades – trade by trade. The EA’s lead developer stated that a margin call could happen, they have no way of testing several pairs at once. It’s true one position can bounce back but several like in many of our cases just flat out kill the account. I will continue to work with the new version of the EA, that will institute stop losses. However, I’m afraid they are picking those levels by backtesting – so the inherent flaw will be backtested stops will not necessarily work in the future. I think this EA will be a long time in development and may not ever make it primetime – only time will tell. I will do my best to test out and track the new EA when it is released to give you all a solid base to compare against. I have sacrificed $900 for this EA so far not included the VPS costs — my lose will be your knowledge gain. Good luck…

ForexRobotTrader by Steinitz (Metatrader Expert Advisor) | HAS MTF EA v2.2 – Friday, August 10 I had to close positions because I was getting close to a margin call. I close 3 loosing positions – USDJPY for $99.98, GBPJPY for $217.84 and NZDUSD for $132.40. I wanted to stay true to the EA but I needed to pull the trigger and kill some trades, at the time my equity was down around $200 (about 85% DD). By closing the positions I hope to live another day and keep testing the EA with it’s new and upcoming features. No, I’m not happy about this but it had to be done. While closing my trades I turned off the EA for the following pairs: GBPJPY | GBPCHF| USDJPY and plan to turn off some more if the equity comes back a little. After such a shattering day our equity did climb, okay crawled back to $362

ForexRobotTrader by Steinitz (Metatrader Expert Advisor) | HAS MTF EA v2.2 – Monday, August 6 we started the week with no closed trades but another trade did open. We gained a little equity but nothing to write home about. AT least it was better than a dream I had which I actually saw a margin call and only 2 small trades were left open —aaahhhhh, so I got up went to the bathroom thought about checking the computer but said forget it. My sleep is too important.
