Countertrend
I have my doubts about the countertrend technique. There is no logical reason why selling on the rise and buying on the drop should make money. But I'm willing to test the hypothesis. Unfortunately results with 5.7.2 on most pairs are not terribly impressive thus far. I will wait and see.
Here is a chart showing 2 trades entered by Phoenix with default settings on GBPUSD, with ConsecSigs=20. By all appearances, the curve is about to turn up, but Phoenix decided to sell. We shall see what happens in the next 12 hours. Will these be winners or losers?
Phoenix win with the gbp news help...

Bertbin, how's the island life? I'm already looking at property
please PM me with your email-address, i have so many questions...
i had no trades for the swissie either (FXDD account only). and again for the 4th week in a row (since start-up) a winning week for the USDJPY with 36:3 winning ratio.
the picture for my IBFX accounts has changed drasticly. if i was paranoid i could say that the broker is monitoring and manipulating my trades.

AZBOfinStrange... I checked part of the day the logs file and I found nothing... I was a bit disapointed coz I would rather prefer to have made an own mistake (hope you understand my exotic english !!!
) but Phoenix did his job and found nothing on the swissie... And I am a bit happy that you got nothing too...
At last Yen went up... in the results !!!!
But the interesting thing that we got the SAME amount of pips in the 3 cur we have in common : same wins, same losses...
Interesting too that a guy in Venezuela and another one in States have the SAME results for a random EA as our friend CuckooBrainCowBoy said...
And interesting too suchs positive results for an "unaceptable EA".... as somebody said here in this thread...
Well, next week is another week : will see...
And about FXDD I am still waiting your adress to get there my beer !!!!
To day here in Celsius air : 29, water : 24 and wind 22 knots...
See you
NB your statements are great, if you need more things in the macro : tell me

NB your statements are great, if you need more things in the macro : tell me2Yr backtesting (90%) shows that the pref settings lost at least 50% of its initial capital before it starting making gains in 2006 in either modes. What if 2007 is like 2005. 50% capital loss BEFORE showing ANY Gains is "unacceptable" (You can use my name) to me. Thats what I am using to test for now as I am still learning to optimize as I have said.
I'm not like CockBrainCowboy dissin' this EA, Just making a pretty obvious statement. If I'm wrong, please do correct me.

Hi Kreeper.
Peace and love...
Sure you are not like Cockbrain... And was not my intention to put you in the same basket... I apologize if I hurt you...
BTW : backtesting is... backtesting with all we know about...
Past predict future ? I dont think so... It's only my opinion...
Especially in FX one of the craziest things in this world (they are much more and worst)
Forward is more real...
Will see next months if yours toughts are right...
See you
i have to agree with bertbin here.
backtesting is just what it is... backTESTING. there is no way that a 2 year run can give any clear results. 4 to 6 months maybe but certainly not 2 years.
