Hi,
Just started fooling around with my first mt4 demo I opened with Alpari, before I move on to program the EAs I have in mind for myself. Anyway, don't know if this is maybe dumb really... but just took their basic MACD expert adviser and fooled around with it based on my live experience with this indi. I'm not even sure yet how it's supposed to trade - the mechanics of the settings I mean. Anyway results are below - backtesting from the beginning of 2007 on 1H charts, other tfs don't work really but I suppose 1H results should be quite reliable - though I'm not sure how much the 89.99% accuracy mentioned affects things... got some stuff to learn to sum it up and happy to. Anyway was just thinking maybe some would want to see this, seems to offer hope that if something basic like this can in theory work then smarter stuff should really rock.
I adjusted the trade size so as to get a max drawdown of 20%. Notice though that the first about 300 trades hardly make profit.
Cheers
