Hi,

I have tested this EA and it seems to be working great. I tested 2010-Jan to Dec on daily timeframe. It was profitable. But then I tested on hourly and it was extremely profitable. I have following question:
1. I want to test it further. Where can I get quality historical data for MT4. I tried Alpari history center download. Somehow it does not seem to work and EA stops in the middle.
2. Currently the settings in code are Lots=0.1 and TP=255. I am assuming these are good for a $10K account. However since I am just starting new, I opened a mini account with $700. This is just for testing. If the EA is profitable then I plan to upgrade the account. Can I run this EA with Lots=0.01 and TP=25 (one tenth of the original settings)?
