Total NET pips trading 13 pairs = 47,878

Past performance is not indicative of future results especially with such low quality back testing, however, I'm still confident so far with this particular system

This is very similar to my current strategy (Third Screen Strategy) that I use to trade my live accounts and have been generating over $10k a month in profits for close to a year now. Sometimes much much more...

Great results there! Very nice system indeed. Wondering on 1:50 leverage (IBFX in the US) how large a lot size I could reasonably expect to trade with this. It would appear on your tests you were using .1 lots for a $10,000 standard account. I will need to do some math...

Not too sure about the leverage aspect as I use a reputable broker outside the US for most of my live trading and have 100:1 leverage on my account. However, I rarely EVER use any more than 20:1 and that is pushing it.

Would my trade explorer helps as it has current leverage calculated for total open trades? Keep in mind this account is a 100:1 leverage demo account...

No, but thanks very much for the offer. I will just need to figure out how many positions I would reasonably expect to have open at one time and then make sure I have the margin to handle it. I lean toward using the 12-hour order delay, so that should help with regard to the number of positions open simultaneously.

I'm off to bed... TTYL!

Some impressive results there pipper with exception of AUD/USD. I said it earlier you will need a massive account to trade all those at once with large stops if you adding to positions as well. Looking good though. Thanks again for sharing.

Looking at the weekly and monthly charts GBP/USD is in a down trend. I still think GBP/USD is in a "corrective" move towards the upside and has more than likely topped out.

*I would be looking to sell any rallies.

Check out the dollar index on the chart there is the clue.

Thanks Claudia. I've been trading a six figure account since August 2012 so I am basing this system off of a realistic scenario for me at this point in time. One could pick and choose a few pairs to trade, they could reduce max positions to 4 from 8, and / or they can trade micro lots (0.01) with a $10k account.

I'm pretty sure one could trade 5-8 pairs with 8 max positions using micro lots (0.01) with a $5k balance, no problem!

Anyways, I'll keep on forward testing for everybody to see then we can pick and choose the "best" pairs for this system.

I'm sure you are right - anyway I will forward test it on cable on live account. Trade the damn thing every day and have done for too long so know it quite well! Just waiting for a perfect set up as per post 1. Think might be one tomorrow looking at close of Friday on the daily.

Yes I also see GBP/USD (as well as most other majors) getting ready to resume their downward movement against the USD. Looking to sell any and all rallies

thanks you 2,
yea I had the same view before asking, just was unsure (notice a downtrend line on the right as standard resistance)

Alright folks, I mentioned earlier that I was not too familiar with back testing EAs and I just learned that I can download more chart history data in order to back test each pair for a longer period of time.

I was only able to back test each pair from roughly 6-18 months but now it looks as though I may have at least 5-8 years (some pairs go back a lot longer) worth of data for each pair that I am interested in trying this system on. I downloaded Daily and H1 tick data for each pair listed in this thread so I will start testing now.

As for the company "Online Strategy Tester" they are not accepting new clients at this time so if anybody knows of any other company that can do quality back testing I'm willing to pay the money, please keep me posted if you find somebody who can do this for me.

Thanks!
