personally i only trust 2013,2014 and 2015 backtests.
Those backtest that start from 1999 , accumulate profits over the earlier years...only to hide losses post 2008..
do not look at 1999-2009 backtests.. they are not realistic.

Trading is fun! I treat it as a business venture, never a hobby.
You start from one small store(account). 1st store doubles it's balance sheet ... then you open a 2nd store(account). Now you have 2 ... then you go on from there.
You don't operate your 1st store(account) without doubling your demo store 1st, to make sure your operations would work out in the real world.

by the way Jeremy... the EA is NOT a tick scalper.. :) clever use of MM and grid techniques.
Osiris
Dakota EA ... good thing it scalps 10pips.. this makes it broker friendly ...and also has a longer average holding time..

Grid EAs scare me... At least you don't have martingale, but "no martingale" prolongs the grid lifespan.
Osiris
i hate such results .. 1month backtest.. $5 000 to $1.1m in 1 month -- 1min chart GBPUSD last month... anyways... Grid+Martingale EA .... seems to make lots of money on breakouts... good thing it uses SLs and TPs.. i dnt know whether to believe this even though its a rough backtest...this is not good...

yes Ralf.. using it. :-) I use control points during coding as it is a bit faster and gives me a quick picture... before doing Tick Test
