Did a Drunk Monkey Trade the NFP Profitably?

Just a few reminders before you check the Monkey:

  1. The Wallaby Live Seminar + Webinar is tomorrow. Do not miss it. Register here.
  2. I interviewed Jennifer.bz about her market notes and trading style. She's smart (and successful). Listen here.

Wes and I have been talking about about whether a program that trades randomly can do better than a living person. Because the NFP is such a huge trading day, we thought we'd take our new Drunk Monkey expert advisor for a test run today. 

The results aren't surprising: The Monkey can't trade for crap. But it lost only about $170 of a $4,500 demo account, and took a surprising number of profitable trades. More developments are coming and you can get the full report by clicking here.
