Hi all,
I'm testing some EAs, could anyone help with the questions below:
1. I;m using IBFX, but the oldest data I could get for 1H chart is June2008, is there anyway to test beyond that date ? If yes, how ? (I contact IBFX, they say they can;t do anything
)
2. When testing for EA, how do u all define this is a good EA? meaning how to test the EA ? I know backtest result might not mean much, but if it can;t pass the basic backtest, then it's no point forward test ....
3. For normal EA, what is the return should i expect ? 10% monthly ?
4. I heard many experts mentioned that EA can;t last long, so usually how long is the life cycle of EA ?
Thanks a lot guy, really appreacite your feedback/inputs.
