Note: this forward test is running v6 and it was started due to the very large differences between v5 and v6 (the latter uses several new strategies and trades 24/7). The older forward test (started when I posted the Forex Real Profit EA review, early 2011) is still running v5 and will continue to do so for as long as v5 is supported by the vendor.

Hey Birt:
Perhaps you can shed light. I’m puzzled. Since my download about 2 weeks ago my FRPEA demo had perhaps only 25-27% of the total trades that both your account and the official account shows.
I’m using Finfx ( and have used them for many other ea’s too which typically are 99% accurate when compared to the official sites and your sites). I have checked and rechecked all my setting and for the life of me don’t understand such a large discrepancy in the trades taken.
Do you have some suggestions?
Many thanks
Eldad-

25%? That’s weird… Sure, most EAs will show trading differences between brokers, but trading only 1 in 4 times is not really common. I suggest checking your experts log, perhaps you can find some more info in there (errors etc.). Failing that, you could perhaps start a new demo account and see if that one is ok. You could also try emailing support, perhaps they can figure it out. I suppose you started it on all pairs (10 or 11 or whatever their number was), right?

Thanks for your input Birt.
No seeming errors in the expert log.
I am not running the USDGBP , but even if I added that back into the mix, my trades would still be 33-35% of the total trades that I see were executed on your site.
I shall [per your suggestion) start a new demo and hopefully that will take care of the problem.
many thanks again
Eldad

Hi Birt,
further to my comment about MT4 build500 I recently got this email from my VPS provider. It may clear things up:’\
“- METATRADER 4 v500 PROBLEM CONNECTING TO BROKER AFTER UPDATE Please be advised we are tracking an emerging issue at our helpdesk related to the new MT4 v500 update. We are receiving a small but consistent stream of new support tickets reporting trouble connecting to the broker after applying the (forced) MT4 v500 update. The problem appears to be rooted between the new MT4 client terminal and broker server update. The only solution to date has been to change the IP address of the VM. We are sending you this alert out of an abundance of caution so you can login to your VM and confirm your terminals are indeed connecting to the broker. Please contact our help desk for assistance if you are experiencing any trouble. In most cases, a change of IP address will not require a VM reboot.
