DislikedI've been working on a eurusd 5min technical system for nearly 3 years now. I finally got it to backtest for last 15 months on 5min chart with great results. Too good to be true. I am finding it hard to trust a backtest though. It seems like backtesting finds conditions optimised for that partiular set of data and doesn't predict the future.
Everytime I trade it, I find a better way to optimise it. This cycle keeps going and going. Any of you had similar experience?Ignored
