thanks for the inputs! i observe a period of 8 years and pick the worst performing year to fine tune the strategy (not using the mt4 optimizing option). I also learn to accept trades that is lose in the beginning and tried to use other controlling methods or TS to reduce the losing pips (=pips saved).
once the EA passes 8 years (historical data), i will use 3 years prior to that 8 years or after that to test on data which is never used to observed. (is this walk forward test?) Since the EA isnt scalper based hence i think 99.9% isnt needed?
I would like to learn some advance theory of methods to enter/filter trades and hope seniors here and share some directions? any tips on making a scalper EA that makes +/- 5%?
many thanks Sirs!
