Not sure if anyone has run any backtests on tick data in this thread yet (at least I haven't noticed if so).
So figured i'd run the latest on my dukascopy tick data for you guys.
Since there was question about the fast ma, I ran both for all 3 set files.
Do with what you wish, but I do notice the curve is nowhere near as nice as the one shown on post 1
Please share any robust set files you come up with.

So far geoff has done a pretty good job optimizing the tp's, ts and sl for the 12 month period.
Still playing with it and will share what I come up with, as it's not quite as straight line up with accurate tick data as it is in his backtest. Will see if I can't make it a little better

so, here it is an alternative version of the Geoff's "The Great" ea
things which was kept from the original version:
-- 2 orders, first closes by tp, second goes to b/e
-- open positions based on SMA10, SMA 197, M15 and M5 fractals, also possible to setup a different bar number for a fractal to be considered "locked"
additions:
-- ea opens a third order, if market goes in opposite direction. for ex, if we went LONG, if difference between open orders price and Bid/Ask is more then SupportLevel1, ea opens BUY STOP order and places...
can you please make it ECN compliance EA?
i have this error :2010.06.22 18:48:49 GEOFFs TOKYO Breakout v2 GBPUSD,H1: Alert: Long order for GBPUSD failed, error : 130
it is very much appreciated. i am doing demo now. thanks

It's too cute!!
VPS hosting
I have looked on this forum and others to find the most reliable vps.
Anyone have any first hand recomendations.
I didnt want to change the subject here
, but i was reading about others talking about vps hosting on earlier pages of this magnificant EA.
I am going live with the EA now so i better have a reliable server.
Yoou dont want your computer to go down or lose a connection when Geoff superb EA is running.

Anyone got trades on Alpari? Mine did not trade this night, but I found open trades on FXpro! Weird.

At the specified starting time, the EA determines whether to have trade or not for the day. If EA says Yes, then it will look for agreement in Fractals (an indicator that can shown from your MT4 under Indicators) in M5 and M15 for entry. So, it is not necessary that the EA will start from the specified starting time. It is just waiting for the right entry point, as thought by the EA. Well, we cannot say the EA is right or wrong, it's just the beahaviour of the EA. I think that's the basic rights of the EA. Don't you think?
Cheers.
P.S. Geoff,...

I didn't like how the trades were going and closed them with a small profit. Better safe than sorry.
