Neal nice work on the ea. How about 5 days. That seems to be a good starting point. Not to long and not to short.
DislikedHmm.... I hate it when I have these off the wall ideas to solve problems.
PROBLEM: Backtesting to produce average parameters over a period of time (i.e. 6mo or 1yr) to use as current settings for a forward operating EA.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: How about a "self-optimizing" EA that daily reviews say the past 3 days data to recalculate the optimum settings to use. This gives fresh settings based on recent activity to hopefully closer anticipate future patterns.
Just food for thought - in my gut I feel I can code it, but we'll see
FEED BACK REQUEST: Do you think 3 days is enough, or should it be 7 days, 1 month? What are your feelings. Keep in mind if you go too far back you lose the "freshness" of what's happening in today's market.Ignored
