the only way to make it public is changing the password to the one fx book tells me too, but if i change then FTMO cant track my challenge i have sent ticket to FF to add FTMO to their broker list

All set up, cant make my fx book public as it needs to change password which i can't do, so i'll post snapshots if any wins or losses are made in a day

check your MT4 history, it'll show if you set TP and if it was hit, it will be green

Should get enough data from 1 year but always good to get as much as possible. My 5 min chart went back to March 2020 which isn't far at all? does look good there will be a sweet spot to the strat that will be found. Forward test is a great way to ...

Yea i'm sure i do, pretty much backwards to how i was doing it. i have been testing how i was originally but nothing worth writing home about at the moment, still testing though. oh your's don't go back that far? only thing i can think of is that ...

that's understandable I get the jist of what your idea is now, at first I didn't lol or I didn't read properly. well my broker ADS and Activtrades only go a year or so, unless you download data for metatrader4, but i use my MT4 just to place trades, ...

Started 2014 went full time about 2 or 3 years ago, 10% is achievable. As you say the TP maybe to large and only fits at the moment whilst there is extreme volatility within the market. What was the max draw down? Would the account be ok with that ...

I believe it peeked at minus 18% then went positive into March and April, thin volume start of year i presume? no 150 pip pushes for this strat. I mean 31% for 8 months is great considering you get 1% a year from the bank lol. Ahh not to far then ...

i did back test Jan and Feb, both months were negative months, if you started trading January 2nd you would have only started making a profit by 2nd week of March, i did start thinking if price got halfway to TP put SL at B/E this helped with a few ...

I know i was doing it the wrong way to how you set out, i've back tested up until beginning of March out of 28 trades taken 18 where losses 10 where winners, so again if 1% risk per trade, 18% in losses 60% in wins so roughly 42% gain give or take ? ...
