- The rules of this test are very specific and do not allow for any manual intervention. To understand what I am testing, please read that post carefully.
- I will edit this post until the test is finished with updated results.
- Test started 00:00 GMT Aug 20 2008.
- The results shown are the gains/losses at for each account at 17:00 GMT each day, which is the latest time all postions are closed and EA is restarted for the next day's trading period.
- I will not be modifying the rules until this test is over. Any changes will be noted here.
Results Week #1:
Date Acct#1 Acct#2 Acct#3
Aug 20: -$9.75 -$34.99 -$51.74
Aug 21: -$82.54 -$433.23 -$25.74
Aug 22: -600.21 -271.11 -$512.32
All rules have been followed properly each day.

Note: No matter what the end result is, this test will not show that this is a good system, bad system, or that you can or cannot profit from it...
... because the time when the positions are entered/exited is important to the profitability to this system, IMHO.
If you do things differently, you could have dramatically different results.
Determining when and how to do that effectively would seem to be the key to this system. That's what I am trying to learn.
This test is simply to try to determine whether this one specific method of opening/closing all trades at these specific times without manual intervention is going to be profitable or not.
However, this will be exact, specific data that can be used to make an informed decision without guesswork. If we can learn to use this system more effectively it will be worth it.
I hope nanningbob is not offended by me posting my results here.
