How far Should one backtest
eight10:
Depends on your time frame. Is your strat trading minute to minute moves, hour
to hour moves, month to month moves?
How far should one backtest a EA to determine potential profitability. 1 year? 2-5? more?
I understand the overall nature of the market changes from year to year, so an EA that works now might not work in the future, or might not work in the past.
