I think it's because my FXDD trading platform is slow, running on an underpowered machine with flakey networking and short on memory. It seemed to miss the trades that take EB into drawdown... but now it has caught one and has been up to 150 pips in drawdown for the past few days (fortunately only one trade is open, so even hitting the huge stoploss at this point won't wipe me out. It looks like it is retracing itself into profit anyway, so I am not worried)

Personally, the only GOOD things I can say about FXDD is that their news feed, commentaries, etc are incredibly useful and timely if you are manually trading with them. Plus they are a very reputable and stable forex broker.

If you're running EAs, however then I'd avoid them, PERIOD. Spreads are too high, and execution is sluggish.

I'd still say Euroblaster is worth it if you have $1000 to gamble on a tiny account.

I have to say I have never seen such fine support on any product as Patrick gives on EB. That alone is worth the purchase, just to restore faith in product support across the board.
Wish me luck please.

It's been 3 days now and still no trades. Should I get thoughtful?

Hello,

do you regard, that Alpari is a 5-digit broker?
At the beginning I'd the same problems, then I set MM to false!!
My last trading with EB was 2 days ago

Does the EA run on ECN too, i.e. Gotrader AUS?

Thanks j_l. He finally picked up a trade this morning. I will try that with MM.

Yes It Does Run On ECN.
I Use Go Markets To,
No Problems At All.

thx for the info. do u run euroblaster on live acc with gomarkets?

Yes I Do,
But As With All EA's,
You Have To Keep An Eye On It,
& Have A Exit Strategy In Place, To Take Out A Trade If You Need To.
I Had To Take Out A Trade Which Reversed A Bit.
Then After That It Had 2 Wins Yesterday.
Its OK,
But Megadroid Is Much More Consistent,
& In My View The Best Scalper Out There,
It Must Have A Timing Script,
Where It Takes Out A Trade If It Donsen't Take Profit,
In A Certain Time Frame.
I've Been Running That Since April On Demo & Live,
It Has'nt Hit A Stoploss In That Time.
One EA tHAT Lives Up To The Hype.

agree on that, megadroid seems ahead of others regards his trade strategy
