Hi
I made a EA and define all my indicator and variable base on 1 year back test ( i made a optilimazion and chose to best result )
1. when i run it for 2019-2020 ( 1 Year ) my EA was work perfect 150 trades with 20% Relative drawdown and very good profit
but when i try to run my EA for 2 years back test to picure was differnet
2. when i run it for 2018-2020 ( 2 year ) my EA the made 300 trades but Relative drawdown went up to 80% and the profit was went down by far
( for 2018-2019 the EA loss 80% and from 2019-2020 the EA recover and finish with profit )
i know that the market change but how can i know what is the reliable period to test my EA ?
if i have very good result for 1 year its enough ? despite when i run it on 2 years its not work good ?
or 2 years its the best period to run back test ?
