Hi Guys,
I have tested a strategy from 2001-2012. The problem is, it has poor performance from 2001-2002. But from 2004 onwards it's pretty good. Now, I wanted to know whether this sort of thing is OK or not because for those 2 years, the strategy loses money on many pairs. Maybe loses on all that I tested on. Does anyone know what the reason could be, why those 2 years were bad? Was the forex market too choppy back then? Can I expect that kind of thing again? And most importantly, would you still trade the strategy knowing it tested well on 9 out of 12 years?
Thanks!
