Hello, this is my first post...
I have been optimizing one of my expert advisers and came across an interesting discovery. I discovered predictable situations for placing profitable orders with a maximum of 10 pips, 100% profit accuracy.
Now the bad news: These situations only happen 5-8 times per year tops, sometimes taking 4 months between orders. Traders would have to keep the computer online 24/7, year-round. I've tested this on MetaQuotes data and Alpari data bank. I've went through the data by hand. It all works out the same.
Is this a significant find IYO? Or does the lack of activity in between become so discouraging that one would have a hard time letting it play out? Also, knowing a situation is a certainty, to which level would you take advantage of it? If you knew beyond a doubt that you would earn 10 profitable pips, how much margin would you use?
Looking forward to your input!
