--- some comments on all sets ---
LF and HF were created for v1.0 set. They trade (besides other pairs) EURAUD and AUDUSD, which even though recently show an ok drawdown, before 2010 are showing a much bigger drawdown. Because of these pairs the set cannot be backtested earlier than 2006.
HF2 was created for v1.1. The pairs it uses show a similar drawdown since 2004 till now, unlike sets LF and HF which would have a bigger drawdown in the past.
HF3, MF, MF2 and "v1.2 default" were created for v1.2. They all use the same pairs as HF2, so the drawdown is mostly similar since 2004
v1.1 was supporting pretty the sets from v1.0.
v1.2 however shows a similar drawdown but a much lower profit for the sets from the previous versions (1.1 and 1.0). This is so because v1.2 had the most fundamental changes, the main being:
1. indicators are using the previous bar (in v1.2) instead of the current bar (in v1.0 and v1.1)
2. a second spread filter which deletes the pending orders when the spread is bigger than 100 points (this can be changed though)
3. a "minimum profit" parameter which filters out the trades with a TP too small.
