The current balances are from today, however, and include any trades placed last week which closed today. Several robots made large gains with the market gapping in their favor on open.
Also, taking a screen shot of the MetaTrader window now pastes to my local computer paste buffer - it didn't used to do that before. So the charts may be slightly more cropped than before.
Inside Bar
Last week up $217, this week pulls in another $403. It looks like the stop loss on the AUD could use with some reducing, but then again these are the optimized settings from a back test. Current balance is $5506.
Pending Reversal Candle
Last week made $83. This week it performed impressively, balance was up around $5800, but then it suffered two big losses, and ended up $326 down. Balance is $5033.
Daily Close Breakout
Last week lost $706. Yikes! This week I adjusted the stop loss and added two more currency pairs - USDCAD and GBPJPY.
Lost another $477, balance is $3732.
Weekly Breakout 2
Previous favorite system, has suffered a string of losses. Last week loses a staggering $1089. This week I adjusted the stop loss, added USDCAD, and it closes the week up almost $79. Balance is $4367, because several orders carried over the weekend closed with a $500+ profit.
Open Close Bot H4
Felt so sorry for this robot I attempted to "fix" it using various methods, but none proved fruitful. I can't believe this robot had such a run of good luck at one stage. It really seemed to be "working" at one point.

So that's it. A bad week all around, except for Inside Bar, and perhaps Weekly Breakout 2. The breakout bots may need their settings optimized properly, as setting the stop loss lower isn't necessarily a good fix.
Increasing the breakout box size seems to help a little with some other robots I'm testing, so we'll see what happens this week and I'll consider further alterations to this robots depending on the outcome.
