- Backtest have good performance on 30,278 trades(14 years)
- It can work well at any currency pairs if you apply same parameters.
- It can work well if you change parameter back and forth.
- 1 year forward test was same as backtest.
[Features]
This EA is not used kind of martingale, averaging and grid.
Weekend risk and minus swap are not effected because all positions will be closed before NY time.
My recommended setting as below use 50 charts with 10 currency pairs x 5 parameters. This purpose is diversification.
For further diversification, it has two positions on each chart, one takes profit with fixed pips, the other one extend profit with Trailing Stop.
