I also think this is an excellent idea. If you need any help, let me know.
DislikedHi all and thanks for the great thread...
I recently found this and decided to try and help with some demo testing. My setup is as follows:
11 IBFX demo accounts with the appropriate EA
Running on all 19 currency pairs offered by IBFX and 1 hour charts
50k demo accounts trading 1 fixed mini lot
Since times have come up a bit I decided to make 11 accounts to try different start times and look back hours as follows:
- Demo #01) Start 22EST / Look back 17
- Original strategy
- Demo #02) Start 00GMT / Look back 23
- Tokyo open back 23hrs (almost a full day)
- Demo #03) Start 08GMT / Look back 23
- London open back 23hrs (almost a full day)
- Demo #04) Start 13GMT / Look back 23
- New York open back 23hrs (almost a full day)
- Demo #05) Start 22GMT / Look back 23
- Sydney open back 23hrs (almost a full day)
- Demo #06) Start 00GMT / Look back 02
- Tokyo open back to Sydney open
- Demo #07) Start 08GMT / Look back 08
- London open back to Tokyo open (00GMT)
- Demo #08) Start 13GMT / Look back 05
- New York open back to London open
- Demo #09) Start 22GMT / Look back 09
- Sydney open back to New York open
- Demo #10) Start 13GMT / Look back 13
- New York open back to Tokyo open (00GMT)
- Demo #11) Start 22GMT / Look back 22
- Sydney open back to Tokyo open (00GMT)
The idea would be to run the demos and try to take out pairs that never do well and maybe find out how pairs do during different start times and based off of different look back hours. Any thoughts?
