Re: ARM 1.0 Strategy

There is a problem with this strategy with regard to adding lots. You have the following settings:-

Maximum open lots: 0.10
Entry lots: 0.10
Adding lots: 1.00
Reducing lots: 1.00

A same direction signal - Adds to a winning position
     An opposite direction signal - Reduces the position

Since your Maximum open lots is 0.1 and this is also your initial Entry Lot size you will never add lots to a winning position and an opposite direction signal will only open 0.1 lot in the opposite direction and ignore all other signals.

Re: ARM 1.0 Strategy

The results are promising
on the other hand it is hard to fwd test nor rely on results.
Why? because it made only 300 trades for last 4.5 years...
