So,
finally, you have a system,
and it backtested on EURUSD, for since 1999 till today,
-Make consistent profits
-Maintain a healthy balance between risk and reward
-Produces at least 5 trades per week (The higher the trading frequency the smaller the chance of having a losing month.)
-Fully automated
-Have a high percentage of winning trades
-Few variables, and There is no sharp drop in performance due to small changes in the values of system variables
-Few rules:The more rules you have, the more likely you "curve-fitted" your trading system to the past, and such an over-optimized system is very unlikely to produce profits in real markets.
-SL/TP is set by volatility
you are happy :-)
but the ea will not work same in live!
past performance does not predict future performance !
because with all the optimizations,
it may have "curve-fitted" to the past!!!
in order to solve curve fitting problem,
you have to test it on other symbols and equities as well,
so it perform good results as well.
my question.
on which symbols you must test your ea
before running it live?
majors, crosses, gold, sp500, oil?
please vote!
