1. The EA's aren't free. 2. How is someone supposed to recreate a backtest in a live market without taking 5-10 years to accomplish this? 3. I actually found one broker that says scalping is allowed.

Why are backtests garbage? And why would they shut me down if you also say that brokers don't work against me.

It is a scalping algorithm, but I didn't create it. I'm just going by best backtesting results of EA's I can find online.

ECN = Electronic Communications Network. I am finding that none of the brokers in the USA use this. And that this allows the broker to trade against it's own customers. Is this the case? I also need a broker that doesn't have high Stops Level (preferably 0), and that has an MT4 platform.

True enough. Then I should rephrase to say that the Stops Level shouldn't be greater than the normal bid/ask spread. I actually did find a broker with a 0 stops level. But now I'm running into a different problem... I am finding out that brokers in the USA don't use the ECN and therefore trade...

So you're saying I shouldn't worry about a sudden drop of about $0.12 as the contract approaches expiration?

I have never seen my contract RBM21 as low as the front 5 months. Does that tell you anything?

No sh1t

I own RBM21 (June 2021) currently at $1.2785. Should I expect the price to automatically decline as it approaches expiration? Similar to time decay in options? Here is a list of prices for RB contracts... RBX20 (November 2020) = 1.1334 RBZ20 (December 2020) = 1.1218 RBF21 (January 2021) =...

Hello, I'm having trouble finding a Fx broker that is registered in the USA that has a Stops Level of 0. "Stops Level" is the minimum distance from the order price to the level of the Take Profit or Stop Loss. This is getting in the way of nearly every Expert Adviser that I try to use. Does...

Like with MetaTrader4?

I have one for Forex only.

Got it. Thanks.

One time I was shopping for a new house. I showed up to the house before the realtor got there to let me in. I saw a big black spot on the front wall that was about 3 feet wide and 5 feet tall. I didn't know what it was and didn't pay much attention. A minute later, the neighbor came out and...

I'm trying to determine if my broker (IG) has higher than normal bid/ask spreads. And if so, is there another broker I can use (as a citizen of the USA) that might have lower spraeds? My broker currently has a spread of 0.6pip for EUR/USD. Is this higher than average? I read an article that I...

What's the results in % return?

I've been purchasing them on Fiverr.com. Backtest as far back as possible.

For Forex pairs, how much do bid/ask spreads change according to the time of day for major pairs? How do I know if my broker is giving me good rates? Has anyone ever used IG and lives in the USA? Can you say if it's good or not? Is 0.8pip a good spread for EUR/USD?

Have you ever tried running a fully automated EA before? Did you code it yourself, or buy it premade? How were the results?

I just have one laptop running an EA trading robot on MT4. Still paper trading probably for the next few months.
