DislikedYes, yes I am.
I guess I should share my results so far. I was hoping to wait until I get more in, but here's what I have so far...
Using one lot with a fixed S/L and T/P, the optimal values I got for EURUSD are:
From 05-May-05 to 18-Apr-06: S/L=95 and T/P=240, good for 1560 pips
From 16-May-06 to 26-Jul-07: S/L=95 and T/P=195, good for 1900 pips
Using 2 lots, with a fixed S/L and 2 fixed T/P, one for each lot and moving the second lot's stop to breakeven once the first lot reaches its profit:
From 05-May-05 to 18-Apr-06: S/L=95, T/P1=80 and T/P2=240, good for 1250 pips (actually lower than the 1 lot test for this time period)
From 16-May-06 to 26-Jul-07: S/L=95, T/P1=110 and T/P2=155, good for 2280 pips
Of course, this is using what I consider to be valid crosses, as mentionned in the other thread. One thing I have noticed is that the winning trades ratio is always a little lower than 50% for the more optimal results with this pair...Ignored
Lesson for all: backtest a strategy, follow the rules of a 'proven' method no matter what happens and earn money!
We'll enjoy learning more from you, as time permits.
