Disliked{quote} This is so true everything changes all the time the only real thing that back testing will tell you for sure is how good or badly your system would have done in the past (if only we could find a broker that will pay on beck test results. I have never yet managed to make money trading off of the right hand edge of my charts) IMHO it's more important how trades are managed and your exit once entered into. We all know that this EA will get us into a trade now to learn how to teach it to manage that trade and come out the other end with a profit....Ignored
so true.
also, you can jump in anywhere, but MM is 90% of your trade. that's very true as well.
i don't want to jump too much into theory but, backtesting DOES, as you said, only show how good or badly your system would have done in the past
