Forex Megadroid Version 1.30 released
Hi everyone,
Just in case you missed it, I thought I’d let you know I received this email from the Forex Megadroid developer a few days ago:
“This is a maintenance update so it is important that you upgrade your installation at the first opportunity.
The main changes in this version are:
1) a small fix to the AutoGMTOffset feature
2) improvements to the strategy
3) improved DLL access speed
4) a small fix to the Journal tab messages
Beginning next week, older versions of Megadroid will display warning messages regarding the update and shortly, older versions will cease to function so ensure that you have the latest version running at all times”
So make sure you install the new version, otherwise you might miss some trades when the old version gets deactivated.
It’s going to be hard to know if this new version performs better or not without being able to compare against the old version.
I’ve updated all my live trading accounts with version 1.30. There doesn’t seem to be any new parameters.
I’ve been using MegaDroid for a while on FXDD live account, from a home PC. However, my results are not as good as yours. This makes me wonder why? Are using a VPS for MD trading? With the new MD v1.30, I hope to improve the performance.
Hi Michael,
I’m just using a home PC as well. I have used a VPS in the past but not this year.
One thing to note with FXDD, is they have different MT4 servers, and that may explain different results. The server I use is “FXDD-MT4 Live Server”. Is that the server your account uses?
If you look at my Monthly results, my FXDD results aren’t that good. Last month for example, I only got 5 trades at FXDD compared to 10 at some other brokers. How many trades did you get at FXDD in July?
Hi Richard,
Yes, I think my accounts have used “FXDD-MT4 Live Server”. I just logged in again to make sure that they use the particular server.
In fact, I’ve been using MD v1.21 on two FXDD live accounts, and MDPro (supposedely the same as MD on EURUSD) on two other FXDD live accounts so far. I really don’t know why I am using MD on four accounts with a single broker, but not with anyone else. It has happened that way.
Anyway, I got 3 & 4 trades with MD accounts, and 1 & 3 trades with MDPro accounts in July. None whatsoever in August!
The reason why a MDPro account made only 1 trade was due to insufficient margin, I believe ( I use a bunch of other EAs on the account). The three other accounts registered exactly the same 3 trades though one account saw an additional trade on 07/20. On that account, 2 positions were opened only a minute apart on 07/20. Interesting, isn’t it?
Michael
Seems to be a bit of variability there.
I’m actually posting the open and close times of each trade in the Daily results. If you don’t get a trade that I get, you might be able to work out why by looking through your log files using my trade times as a reference.
Yes, I will use your trade details as reference from now on. Very informative, indeed!
By the way, do you use other EAs on the same MT4 that you trade MegaDroid, please?
No, I just trade Megadroid on each account.
