Reply To: Description of Midnight EA

Hi Dominik, as you suggested I have been using the strategy tester this weekend to look at the latest version v2.3b. I must admit I am a little bit disappointed with the results. The main problem with the original version – lots of small profits being wiped out by a few huge losses – still seems to be present.

For example, below are the results of last week with USDCHF, and as you can see, it closed two trades with small profits, and two with large losses. I am interested to know if anyone on the board traded USDCHF last week and what the actual live results were? Because I really don’t know if I can trust backtesting or not.

Thanks in advance.
