Some backtesting on EUR-USD 6/2006 TO 10/2006

[feb2865 10]

I must confess I hate backtesting

 

But here's some for you guys

 

Results are plain vainilla only no trail stops used

 

I use trail stops - but I won't tell you how much I really made as I don't want to awake the greedy-monster in your

 

Fly low....paper trade if you can or go with 1 contract at the time...get used to it.....

 

if you're using a market maker (oanda, fxcm, etc) you must add the cost of spread to the equation, depending on your leverage

 

if you're using futures, the cost of trade.....in reality is so little won't be worth even thinking about it.
