Not necessarily. I'm getting terrific results also. On several pairs for the year.
Am going on my live micro with it tomorrow. Sometimes it trades 2 or 3 times in a day and sometimes it will go 2 weeks no trade. Very picky choosy!!
No one robot can the job by itself. This is an ea anyone would be proud to use.
However it is early in the game and market conditions change drastically from time to time. Ya never know. What works today may not work tomorrow. Oh well. We do the best we can to prepare.
Live tomorrow...
Waiting for your download...

just a word or warning.. 67.85% modelling quality is not really high enough for accurate backtesting

micro is a good way to go. If you are a little new to trading please be very careful about margin.
either that or demo.
I use backtesting not so much for results of profit/loss. But more to study how the trades are being opened and closed. If the ea is performing consistently on the data it is receiving, whether or not that data is historically correct or not doesn't really matter all that much in that case. Just if the robot is working properly.....
This robot is expert... The forward demo and live testing will show which pairs are best. So far (at least with the backtesting) the old favorite of traders, because of its wide swings is GBPUSD. EURUSD comes in second, and USDCAD brings up the rear.

interesting setting GBPUSD to 1 hour before Frankfurt open (5 instead of 6)
at least in the tester there is twice as much gain..

If window had been set for 1 hour before Frankfurt open ea would have gone long and would still be in play. Let's see if ea can catch a down move. Has 5 candles from (including) the 1st red dss.

It has been pointed out to me that I have missed some details here (what else is new) a trade would not have been opened even with lookback to stoch event before window, the criteria for a candle to close above 8 ema was not met, a candle closed above ema but it was the 6th candle after the stoch event, it needed to be no more than the 5th candle.)
The ea will not catch every trade, but it catches enough of them.

so you do not wait for a stoch cross after session open? i thought you have to wait for it and ONLY AFTER calculate candles and do all the stuff

for me it sounds like a new rule you never told before ... so here, in this example, you would open a trade at the very first candle because it closed below 8 ema?

Now you know why I want a robot. I am terrible with details!!!
I always overlook something.
Get a robot set and let it deal with all the details...

we are setting the rules now. To see which are most advantageous. Perhaps it is most advantageous to consider a stoch event before window for trading. Like in this case. Sometimes the market heats up before it opens as the investors and traders are anticipating something.

results are way more improved extending the trading window, at least for EURUSD for the year in back test. settings for window were stop loss 100, shift 0, begin 5 end 15...http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5061/515.png

so in this case we have 2 set of rules:
1) if stoch crossed before session opens (like any number of bars???) ->
-- if close above/below 8 ema, entry point is expected, but with the same valid entry bars quantity or not?
2) if stoch crossed after session open -> and if close above/below , with in 3 or more bars we enter

is this correct?

you see, it's too early to upload

i think the best idea to set this regime on by external variable, but how you would know before is it gonna be profitable or not

what i really need is to know is the rule of valid number bars for entry is still in play if session opened and stochastic crossed a long before it as of today ->

if ea knows "not to open a trade outside of trading window" then even if it finds a stoch event at another time it will not open a trade, so that should not be a problem? Just let it look for events, maybe it needs the practice, so it won't get bored waiting, you know give it something to do

4 candles after the event "5 if we include the candle that closed to mark the event. So if other criteria has not been met before the 5th candle closes, no trade.
