Well, your suggestions are helpful, here is my result:
Test on EU most ranging market condition
TF H4 D1
2009-3-25 to 4-30 -40% +10%
2009-6-8 to 9-7 -50% -5%
Trading in higher TF can greatly reduce the loss but in trending market it only make half or even less profit than trade in lower TF.....
i use martingale just so i can make good returns
10% a month on daily isnt bad, but useless to a poor soul like me lol
u can still use small tf to
i use m30 h4 d1
d1 is my trend, its all i need to look at if i trade manually
h4 is my entry n exit, ea needs it
since h4 candles are so long, i use open price from m30, on the h4 indy
basically, im using a small ema on h4 to trade the daily large ema

Trading in higher TF can greatly reduce the loss but in trending market it only make half or even less profit than trade in lower TF.....my ea doesnt make much sometimes, i tested one of ur time periods, it made 16%
why not test yrs instead of months, ur excluding the big moves
i find it better to catch big moves than many small trades
I can't believe that your EA can still profitable in the most ranging period! If so, it's amazing!
.
Becasue from 2009-12.04 -present, everyone can make 200%-500% on EU by using any trend following EAs! But before this most of them continue losing money for almost half year!
My EA define trend by H4 and find entry on H1. If I change to H4 and D1 TF, it will become less profitable.
Maybe I should modify the exit policy, I have a good position on H1 but the H4 reversed at that time, my EA will close the opposite position at once! Sometimes it turns out to be a very profitable position.
I am all in to automated trading never gonna go back to manual so for me this is a good thread . ( EA's, Bots , Automated is like music to my ears )
Oh....it works
looks pretty good
simular to the way mine looks
try running that right outa the box, n use the account management
and only invest a fraction, if it works like its supposed to
youl never need a large investment
your new job is to withdraw money lol
what the account management does, is pay you, plus it gives u more chances
if you get a margin call, simply move 1/3 from the backup, into the trading account, and start over
dont continue from the previouse martingale
so even after a margin call, the amount u trade with next isnt much less than the amount u were trading with, maybe a 3rd less
the odds are in your favor that youl be back in profit before u lose again
since ur strategy made it so long without losing
you keep doing this repeatedly, youl see that instead of 7eral consecutive losses whiping you out, itl take many many more
over all my yrs learning, all i see ppl say is dont trade without sl, never ever
and never ever use martingale
and use money management
i think those ppl just didnt try long enough
probably all them ppl ever needed was account management, which to me is true money management, most ppl's ideah of money management isnt right
so those ppl are really not using money managent
placing a trade using say 2% risk
thats not money management
money management and account management are the same
i say account management so that u dont confuse that with a trade size
or a risk/reward, them things are just part of a strategy
it looking like this could be a valuable thread
Oh....it works
also, im not saying u shouldnt improve your strategy, you do have some long runs of breakeven, no1 wants to run a ea 6 months at breakeven
very stressfull
but hey, its something to start with, im not saying dont use it
watching ur strategy in action day after day, your gonna have new ideas all the time
also sit back n watch the test in visual, get you some pop corn
you need to make sure the test isnt just some tester fluke
every few days i do that, its mostly so i dont forget what im doing
i love watching my ea go
i cannot stand manual trading my self, i feel ya

For me I will withdraw again and again 
I think it takes me two years to wacth this strategy, for I only watch it for two month. I will keep improving later.
BTW, some key method in this stategy is from a thread in this forum.He's name is radatats.
This place is great, I think most number here are too busy to making money.
Thank you for giving me so many advice.
