Ronald Raygun replied Dec 16, 2009Almost 1.5 years. Profitable. Get as many bars on the chart as possible. More bars => Finer data. What did TradingStyle and TradeTrigger say?

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 16, 2009Internal backtest goes for as many bars back as you tell it to. The win/lose values are based off of the bar itself. There is no guarantee that the EA is 100% correct when it tells you the number of trades won/lost. You can multiply the trades won * ...
