EA Evaluation
hello there
i've finished my EA development and i've started to test it on history data and i want to get an idea of what consider a good EA from history result prespective.
two years backward is enough for testing?
what is a good profit factor should be?
what is the min deals per mounth worth using that EA?
total net profit per 1 lot?
how to find if my EA is stable apart to look for zigzag graph?
There are many correct answers to this question.
IMO you should test on as many years as you can get good data for, and then you should test on as many pairs as you can get good data for.
The number of trades per month does not matter on it's own, for example, if your win rate was 100% you could risk a large percentage of your account, margin allowing, and get a good return each month even from just one trade per month. If you have a low win rate then you need more trades to achieve the same return as some of your trades will be losers.
