    Hi there,

    One question on the performance statistics of the various systems: could you define the "risk adjust" statistic?

    Moreover, I believe potential subscribers would greatly benefit from having two crucial statistics:
    1. Sharpe ratio (annualized performance over volatility)
    2. APD ratio ("average profit to drawdown" measures riskiness by measuring how much profit is made for every dollar of drawdown suffered while a trade is open)

    Finally, are you thinking of adding more brokers? When you look at the customer reviews at
    http://www.forexbastards.com/public/forex_broker_reviews/RoundedRating,ReviewCount/desc
    you will notice that FXDD does not come out very well.
    Have you thought about www.dukascopy.com? This a Swiss based broker with rave reviews and able to accept auto-trading signals.

    Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

    Regards,
    Manuel

    Hi Zordan,

    Risk Adjusted is a measure of Profit V loss, similar to APD except for closed trades not open. E.g System A has made 1000pips but suffered a 1000pip Drawdown, whilst System B made 1000pips but only a 250pip drawdown, risk adusted for A is 1, for system B is 4.
    In real terms system B is 4 times more profitable per $ risk to your capital. You could have used 4 X more leverage in System B over A , and been only exposed to same risk. However, your profit would have 4 X higher.

    We are adding more substantial analytical data, sharpe ratio will be high on the list.
    We do not rate forexbastards as a premier source of Forex broker reviews. Dukascopy may be a fine broker but we do not have plans to add them in the near future.

    For those of you who are wondering, FX auto sucks. It appears to be a bucket shop and the software is full of bugs.
    Problems:
    My wire transfer came in to my account and they didn't credit my account for 3 days. Had they credited it just a few hours earlier, I would have made $1000 on trades that would have been executed.
    Technical support does not understand the software or the interface- they can't even tell the difference between an auto trade and a manual trade.
    Bugs:
    Have sent the same manual trade several times and it still does not register on my account.
    In short, the idea is great, but the reality is far, far away from what they would have you believe.
    Caveat emptor!
