Viseu Open 001 Likely Profitable Expert Advisor

As always, I have been searching for profitable no cost alternatives to commercial expert advisors. Recently, I came across the Viseu Open 001 expert advisor. I found it on an Asian forum and have grown a serious interest on it's trading methodology. The expert advisor makes trading decisions based on several moving averages and the rsi indicator. The system makes high probability, low profit trades, which I think is a good efficient way in which expert advisors can attain profitability.

The best news, is probably the backtesting I performed on the expert advisor using one minute data (90% modeling quality). I tested the expert advisor for almost nine years, from 1999 to 2008; using a 10 pip take profit and a 35 pip stoploss, the expert managed to grow an account from 10,000 to more than 10 million dollars (2% risk on each trade). The expert got a relative draw down of about 25% with an absolute draw down of 8.31%. Viseu was barely profitable from 1999 to 2001 but after that year it was constantly winning. Overall the expert advisor won a high percentage of trades (almost 84%) over the nine years.

I have now started the forward testing of this expert advisor on my vps to know for sure if there is consistency between back testing and real market performance.

I am sorry not to include the complete backtesting file here but it is too big to upload and share on my vps (would consume all my bandwidth if everyone checked it out) so I will include it on the next edition of my ebook (which I will send to the people who have already purchased and will purchase the preliminary version). Below is the back testing chart for this ea.

Free Expert Advisor, the way to go !

This past few months have been eye openers for me. I have learned a lot about automated trading systems and the way they work (and don't work) in the forex trading world. Throughout the last year I have reviewed many expert advisors, both commercial and free and I have concluded that commercial experts are in no way better than the good quality free expert advisors out there. Sure, free expert advisors have several disadvantages. They are most of the time not developed by professionals, they have no implicit support, they have no manuals, no one to shout at when the money is lost, etc. But maybe the biggest disadvantage of free expert advisors is that their overall quality is abysmal. Yes, the worst thing about free expert advisors is that most of them are not worth anything. Most of them are doomed to lose by design and many of them have inherent logical flaws which prevent them from working. Many of them are designed to work in very short time frames, with unreal take profit valu...
