• Hard stop loss and take profit for every trade
• Stable results since 1999 with 99.9% quality quotes
• Not sensitive to broker conditions
• Easy to install and use
• FTMO and Prop firm ready
• Complies with FIFO rules (Need to disable Hedging in EA settings)

• Walk-Forward Optimization: Divide historical data into segments, optimizing on one part and testing on the next to avoid over-fitting.
• Robustness Checks: Test parameter variations and apply random noise to ensure the strategy’s consistency across different scenarios.
• Minimum Profit Factor / Performance Metrics: Set thresholds for key performance metrics to avoid selecting overly-optimized parameters.
• Parameter Stability: Ensure that optimized parameters remain stable across different market conditions.
• Data-Snooping Bias Control: Randomize test periods and use multiple data sets to avoid cherry-picking favorable results.
• Cross-Market Testing: Test the strategy on various instruments to ensure its robustness across different market conditions.
• Limit on Optimization Cycles: Restrict the number of optimization runs to prevent excessive curve fitting.
• Add Random Noise to Data: Introduce random noise to historical data during optimization to avoid memorizing specific price movements.
• Avoid Hard-Coded Data: Use dynamic variables instead of static historical data to ensure flexibility in real-time trading.
• Genetic Algorithm Optimization: Use genetic algorithms to prioritize promising parameter sets without testing every combination, reducing the risk of over-optimization.
