The second testing cycle is done. Our enemies in backtesting are curve-fitting and over-optimization. Another sign of robustness are setups, that work across multiple pairs. I found a setup, that shows good results across 9 pairs (the 8 pairs listed as #1 in post 116 + EURCHF), with each pair adding quite equally to the total result. The picture shows the results of the setup. The CAD is dominating the portfolio, but with 6 currencies involved, the dependency of one currency is not too strong. The monthly gain of the setup is about 8.3% in the test,...

Yes, I know this thread, but I usually don't trade EA's that I haven't created or adapted myself.

Oh, I didn't mean to use it for trading, I had the impression it was a tool to plug in various indicators and then run test similar to, but way better than MT4

I could be wrong

Hi everyone.

I've been asked by a few members to give an update.

Things are still going very well!

My account total is now showing just under $35k.

Total profit made since May 22nd isnow $5268.28

I'm also trading for a personal friend as well. His account is much larger than mine at $98,657. This week so far I've made him 1.17% which is ($1,139) in profit. When trading larger accounts like this it's important to make sure DD is controlled. Right now, max DD is under just 2%. Please don't ask me to trade your account as I will decline. Sorry.

You can see my friends account here...By the way, the dips in balance were trades he made that didn't work out. lol

The trades you marked were manual trades. The EG had gone up so much in the past 2 months without much of a retracement or pullback. It was bound for one so I took a few manual trades. I will do that from time to time when I see big opportunity. I believe it will continue to fall to the 0.86 level. It may take some time though. My 25 years of testing on the EG show that this fall to the 0.86 level is likely to happen.

... this is not a signal according to his rules - for a short trade, it must be a red inside candle after a green one.

Ryans system also has some sort of price momentum filter as well, that could have kept him out of that huge drop. I dont think he said what it is specifically ,but I would like to know. Is anyone willing to share there Inside candle RMI EA ?

What huge drop you referring to that Ryan should be saved off?
As I see currently he got 3 open trades for total -47 pips or approx -1.5% drawdown!! Hard to consider huge!

Even for worst drawdown there is only a -12% one, that seem to be just part from the order his basket trade was closed ( closing losing before winning, in a total break even situation will do that), if looking at the curve probably the case...
there is always, always another trade!!
