Looks like you have something. Drawdown is good. One thing is that it is only about 8% ROI/year, not that much for a risky investment. You did say this was a conservative test. What do you have for a moderate risk?
Thanks for your reply.
For moderate risk i'm developing another 3 days ago. Here are some provisory results.
MM is the same method, lots and everything.
What do you think about the red numbers??

That seems like a nice curve. Drawdown not too bad. Run a test of the months where the curves dip (where the drawdown is most). I'm curious how the MM will handle that and recover the account, let's say if you started live and started with a losing curve. Also, I'm not sure your MM strategy, but try a variation of fixed lots up to a certain amount than double the lots (ex: 1000-2000 = 0.02, 2000-3000 = 0.04), or something along those lines.
jmca, i will try your suggestions and reply very soon. I made a run risking only 1% of the initial deposit (before was 5%). this is, if i lose by my predefined SL (300) it means i lose 1% of 10000 USD. So lots here are 0.3, 0.6 or 0.9.
follow the results.

That's pretty dam good. The drawdown on all scenarios are consistently decent, even on entering the dips. ROI is good on all these, minus the dip of course. You might have a decent system here. Just curious, since it's on a 5 min timeframe, how many orders are you placing per bar? Some brokers have a cap of orders per bar to deter extreme scalping. You should stick this on a demo soon and forward test for a quarter or 2.
Hi, this is the Strategy Report of my Fenix EA.
I used a very simple MM - 3 degrees of risk/reward instead of exponential formulas. This give me a better look of is performance.

Appreciate please.
The first results are very good. The miximum drawdown is small (I like to see below 10%), the profit factor is high (anything above 2 is good), the % of winning trades is close to 90, the maximum and average loss trades are close to profit trades. What strategy do you use? And how do you weed out bad trades? I use stochastics for that purpose. RSI may work too, but not as good.

Hi gpwr, i only use sthocastics and rsi to open and close positions. I also use an angle indicator to determine the overal trend and open only in that direction. This last indicator multiplies my minimum defined lot. Proportional SL, TP and TS to the Timeframe used do the rest.
The only problem i see is that only open 1 or 2 positions in 5 days, because the open sthocastics dont reach easely the level to trigger the signal in a strong trend move.
