Does it make more sense to run an optimization for 2-3 years and use those settings and hope that it captures 99% of all scenarios? or Run a 1-2 month optimization every month? and use those settings for a month...and then run the optimization again? Thanks, -Ron
Gentlemen, and Gentleladies, I've been developing and backtesting an EA from scratch from some time. It will be trading strictly EURUSD to begin with. From the beginning I designed the EA to only handle one trade at a time. I now realize that I want to allow not only up to two Buy or 2 sell...

What I am trying to do is to 'wake up' the start() function so that it will invoke one of...

In other words, I understand there's no such property as zIndex (as in some other high level programming languages), so how...

Some indicator driven EAs can work quite well, but its well known that these need frequent optimizing to work. So lets say I optimize on last 2-4 weeks...
