    A system backtest with 9 or 14 trades will not tell you much about the robustness of the system. I do not run systems with less than 300 or 500 trades in the backtest.

    Hi Rich

    Add your Strategy code on here and we’ll have a look at it. Use the Insert PRT Code button so the code is formatted.

    We’re all here to help each other get rich! 🙂

    Looks great, however I can only strongly suggest that you post the code here, and use the strength of the forum to determine the resilience of your strategy. For eksample- how many units are you back testing with? did you include spreads?

    cheers Kasper

    Change the unit to 100000- left of the TF pull down menu. it will give the largest timeframe span. 1 H should at least backtest to around nov 2012
