Forex brokers vary widely. I use three different brokers, and I find that set files optimized for one rarely work well with the others. It's my view that you need to learn how to test and optimize. Using an existing set file as a starting point can ...

It works for me. I've fixed a few bugs in the original Blessing that I found troubling. Some folks had complained elsewhere that it would attempt to place larger trades than available margin, which can cause big problems with brokers. I noticed that ...

You really need to optimize set files for YOUR broker. Every broker is different. Their data is different. I have three brokers and that set file only works on the one I optimized it for. It doesn't even come close on the others. When I use that set ...

I've written ten or fifteen different EAs over the past year. None of them are as cool, powerful or profitable as Blessing. I keep finding reasons not to use Blessing, yet I keep coming back to it. There are an amazing number of bad reports over the ...

I don't have a lot of experience watching currencies. Never traded them manually. From my experience Blessing does a pretty good job of following the trend. If you're watching the news and have a good understanding of what is likely to happen next ...

By the way ... For those that are put off by the 50% draw-down thing. It's not a requirement. It's adjustable. 50% is easy and it works well and makes sense if you're not using stops. Grid traders seem to work better without stops. Many EAs work ...
