So I started up a new test account with HSA on 3 new pairs, and some new modified settings.
I've modified the EA settings making them a bit safer in case a pair gets stuck in a trend so this should help to reduce exposure and DD while still managing to make average +10% pm.
My criteria for selecting pairs was to first look for the currencies with the lowest volatility/ADR and pair them up. Excluding CHF & NZD pairs (which I don't trade) they were CAD, JPY & USD, which paired up is CADJPY, USDCAD & USDJPY, 2 X each.
My ideology behind this is that with this kind of EA we want to avoid strong trending currency pairs and these 3 currencies have the lowest volatility/ADR. I will review all the currencies each month and re access their numbers and maybe switch up individual pairs as time progresses so the trading pairs won't be set in stone.
I think we need to adapt to the current market and see what each currency is doing to get the most out of HSA using a safe low risk approach.
Lets' see how this goes. You welcome to follow along.

Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.
