Disliked{quote} There is a reason why the disclaimer "past performance does not guarantee future results" exists. Back testing is just another waste of time to give traders the illusion of security. How many robots out there back test beautifully? The real truth behind back testing is that the trader usually fools themselves by curve fitting data.Ignored
Trend following systems do not need curve fitting, they're flexible.. also all systems can be automated, therefore backtested. Some ppl may argue that backtesting with fixed spreads is not the best way to backtest.. I say BS anyways who cares ! to me it's safer to backtest using wider spreads.
How many ? I found none to download really, take the largest EA's repository, downloaded them all.. howeer I stopped searching years ago, so maybe you can find some scalping EA's which give a nice curve IDK.
I don't care about scalping.
pst perfomance.. yeah predictions are hard but certainly possible according to backtests, which actually REMOVE any illusion. It's about "trying to predict " not predicting with certain.
