ea automatic, anyone running it live not demo

[deepnorth]

keep seeing ea automatic ads. the backtest looks insane obviously. but does ANYONE have a real live myfxbook running for more than a few months. backtest means nothing to me anymore

[dreamchaser]

ran it 4 months live on a small acc. first 2 months smooth small gains, then a trending move blew through its grid logic and gave back everything plus more in one week. its a grid/recovery bot under the hood, looks great until it doesnt. classic equity curve that goes up like stairs and down like an elevator

every EA backtest is insane thats the point of a backtest lol

whats a grid bot, why is that bad

[justin_98]

grid = it opens more positions as price moves against it, averaging down, so it 'recovers' losers. works in ranges, dies in a strong trend cause it just keeps adding to a loser until margin call. the smooth backtest hides the one trend that wipes it

lost 600 to a grid ea last year looked amazing for 6 weeks then gone in 2 days. never touching grid again

skipping it, thanks for the live info
