Re: Daily GBPUSD

I suggest that you use a lot more bars than in your test and that you do a walk forward on several periods.

My 'secret' goal is to push EA Studio until I can net 3000 pips per day....

Re: Daily GBPUSD

His strategy was tested with 645 bars you tested with nearly 10 times more.

A good strategy should be resillient enough to work with any amount of data.
