4000% profit in 6 years but started lossing last year
S
My reading of this EA is that is a trend-following system.
GBPUSD has not had a strong trend going since Oct/Nov 07 - after some years of strong trends...
Guess the EA lost the plot during the last quarter last year?
As a quick if small improvement, I would change the MACD parameters to be extern variables and try some different values from the defaults...
For a better job, it needs some work to stop it opening positions when the trend is too weak or the range too small...
Perhaps look at combination/s of ADX, ATR, StdDev, VHF etc
