I try to understand the optimization process ... I optimize for las week and will post results from demo account.
That I understand is when I optimize it for 1 week data it loose last 6 mounts. I will try that you suggested - to use wide range of data, but I am afraid that I do not have a real data more then a mount.
I try to understand how that EA works. It looks the past and learn the pasterns so it hopes that in next week that pattern will repeat. Right?
This morning I put 6 mount data and start optimization ..... 10 hours for first .set file. There must be a better way! I will tell you if I find a way.
Im Residing in India and i use IBfx for trading My GMT is +5.30 And what should i have to give for GMT Settings.....? Should i have to load the set files for complete working of EA or its just for Back Test results. Waiting for your reply

If it backtest fine then use it as your settings for EA.
I'm working on the new Optimization which looks like it might be more profitable. However I started late and might not have it until after the market opens.

GeorgeL did you try with 1 mount of data. 6 mount are very time consuming
I have buy on euroD at 1.3943 - which is close to yours.
Many thanks George
********************
Do you just run a demo for months so it collects all tick data?
Please elaborate on data collectionCorrect. I have a Demo account collecting data continiously.
The correct entry was at 1.3943. I think the EA will not open a Trade if you have Pending orders.
As soon as I deleted my pending order it Opened the Trade at 1.3951.
EA Testing Learnings
For those learning to test EA's, as I am, here is a useful thread over at MQL4.com community that explains some of the intricacies of the MT4 tester.
This link takes you to the beginning of a series of articles (scroll to bottom of each article to get the link to the next):

So I closed the trade the EA set 2 minutes before IBFX close @ 189 pips of profit.
I am currently working on a new Optimization. It looks promising however not as good as the 5-16-2009 Optimization.
I think this EA works best with 6 months MAX worth of data
Which is why 11-18-2008 until Opti 5-16-2009 is the most profitable.
To anyone who has been Optimizing this EA please leave some feedback, It's greatly appreciated.

Hello!!
Try to backtest with the 5-16-2009 Optimizationg.
If it backtest fine then use it as your settings for EA.
I'm working on the new Optimization which looks like it might be more profitable. However I started late and might not have it until after the market opens.
