if you backtested it, I have to tell you by shifting it by 9 you're screwing yourself over. By shifting it by 9 it means you wont get a cross until 9 candles after it would actually happen. Think about it when if you are on a 1H chart, at 10:00 your EA will only be up to 1:00
Your chart might look wonderful on backtesting but its just tricking you
oops , thank you gazuz, yes you are right on the chart was great .
