Not a bad start. Both the original version and my later version both opened two trades so far and both were closed in a short space of time for the full 25 pips profit with no overnight fees. So now we can afford a loser without too much panic.
I think the starting date was lucky as a backtest starting much earlier would have exchanged the first winner for a 64 pip loser which reminds me that I read somewhere once that you should always try to start your strategy during favourable conditions to try to get a good bit of credit at the beginning. Markets have been climbing but with all the trade war talks this week it is a good time to start a shorting strategy I guess. These little things can make a little difference and a lot of little things together makes a lot!
Fingers crossed the forward test continues this well and I look forward to any further development ideas from Balmora74 or anyone else who is thinks of a new filter or improvement.
