Optimizing a 'Loser' EA!

Here is the result of 7 days Backtesting for EURJPY H1. (Jan 1- Jan 7, 2014)

Just wondering if it could be 'Optimized' in 'Reverse' way and get the 'Opposite' result.
If anyone interested in doing that, please respond.
Thanks

You're losing approx 1 dollar per trade and this is possibly due to spread
It is doubtful that reversing will work

What does this have to do with Platform Tech?

Reverse a losing strategy will NEVER make it profitable. That was proved many times here on FF since the last few years.

Don't waste your time with this kind of research !

You are probably Right. Just opposing the conditions doesn't fetch the opposite result.
There are many things which need to be Optimized too.

You can optimize everything you want on the reversed one, the end result will be the same : it will be a loser too.

Guys, if you have to Poke 'FUN' then please you can do it Somewhere else.
I'd Expect Good and Thoughtful 'Suggestions' regarding my query. And already I got my answer.
If this Thread is in 'Wrong' section, I request to Admin to transfer it to the proper section.

There is even such person here who doesn't get a little bit of time while asked for a little Help but has plenty of time
for having such Fun. :/

Hi My Friend,

My Post not for joke, that post represented the 'visual' explanation as result when you try to 'reverse' some EAs with bad result that according to our experiences only bring us to more worse result.

I do it myself for years ago, and spend hard and sleepless weeks to find out the way to reverse, and just ended with more bad result every time.

I create so many EAs, but truly i don't believe EAs, back testing not prove anything at all. You can get great result when you 'back test' EA with let say 5 years data, but when you change just different starting day, the result could be so different.

you will get really different result, when you 'test' EA the whole year, or the whole month, or 'test' your EA week by week, and the most reliable 'test' is if your EA can pass week by week test, with consistent result..

And I believe you already knows that even to optimizing one parameter will consume a lot of time, so, any EAs without 'proven' good manual trading strategy as its base, will only waste our time.

Best regard.
MTH
