Added visual aspect to see how big the Channel-Size is in pips.
added additional external parameter to specify the FridayCloseOrders.
But I cannot reproduce the equitygraph.

Could you post a RAR file of your test report.I will do the same .
Which broker are u using for testing?
Are you allowing for time differences between brokers?
I use alpari data and test on alpari russia platform
Please post your equity curve chart
The profits shown are realistic based on performance of other breakout strategies during the same period.
This strategy used 4 lots and profited by 4500 pips per year, ie only 1125 pips per year per lot .That is not UNREALISTIC performance.
I have monitored this strategy for last year and drawdown seems realistic ie 1600 pips for two lots

Here are some of the problems with DST on testing
The fact that I actually got better results before I fixed the 'DST bug' made me shift the timeframe one hour earlier, so we measure the range 8:00-9:00 CET.
Things are ugly down the left hand side of the equity chart. My latest, DST alterations seem to have made things even worse. Calculations are based on US DST. Hopefully in this case any DS differences are minor.
If you are out by 2 hours it makes a lot of difference

Some very intelligent people have spent time on this strategy testing and so have I.I really do not want to spend anymore time on this.
I have other EAS and projects to complete.
I am attaching the report of other testing

Like you said it, it all depends on the DST Settings I think.
Because we are now in DST till end of october somewhere.
When in Summer (DaylightSavingTime)
I Just shifted TF1 from 9-10 to 8-9
I Just shifted TF2 from 9-11 to 8-10. which gave me far better results.
than the original settings.
By that way the equityCurve could Increase even more when You have the correct settings for each period. But It all depends on the Broker.
If The BrokerServerTimedifference Stays the same According GMT
In summer and winter you will have to do the shift.
in summer TF parameters -1.
If The BrokerServerTimedifference Stays the same in winter and summer.
-->You will not have to Change TimeFrames.
Just A remark.
Elcid, You can Just explain for the other people what these TimeBoxes resembles, has to do something with frankfurt opening, london opening.
So people can set them up accordingly.

So people can set them up accordingly.I look at london time .9 am and 10 a m london are the two opening times for trades .
The first box looks at 9 am to 10 cet ( 8 am to 9 am london time) and first trade is 9 am london time
second trade is opened at 10 am london time.
These are the most profitable periods for trading cable
