Squid. Long does not mean profitable.

Greetings, dear visitors to the expert testing thread. As previously promised, a mini test of the Kalmar expert was conducted. I would like to remind you that the expert is a medium-term expert and his algorithm uses martingale and all sorts of risky methods of capital management.

You can download the settings themselves and the set file from the settings in the advisors section, where, in principle, a complete analysis of the expert with its demo tests was carried out.

The expert's author warns in his instructions that the advisor can mark time for a long time and sometimes go into the red. Despite the warnings from the expert's author, we conducted a real-time test on a demo account.

To ensure the reliability of the test, a demo account was opened with a deposit of $10,000 or, like most, $100 in a cent account. Since the server was taken down for this testing, the expert was in the market around the clock and physically could not miss trading signals.

The test began on the euro/dollar currency pair on the hourly time frame from 05/27/2015 to 06/22/2015. In fact, the advisor was in the market for 25 days, but during this time only three positions were opened. You can see the test result in the picture below:

 If you analyze the report for the test period, you can find that out of three transactions, two closed in positive territory. However, the stop order of the losing position is so large that it more than closed two profitable positions at once. In general, during this test period the expert lost 1.8 percent of the deposit, which would not have hurt the trader too much.

In general, I can say that the test period turned out to be very short for this expert. However, to my deep regret, I noticed a bad trend: the real stop is much higher than the profit, and this, in turn, is fraught with consequences for the deposit. In general, during the test there was only a residue left, so I do not recommend betting the Expert Advisor on a real account. Thanks for your attention, good luck!
