what start hour do the pros use?

no. it will behoove you to concede that luck plays a part of your success or failure, if you can't explain WHY THE TRADES WORK. This is a very simple example.... that there are millions of TA systems that will look just like this graph.... if you ...

My money management (advanced)

i don't perform at all.... my EA trades for me! and as i said earlier in the thread, i don't mind blowing my account! how's that for psychology? "if you can't afford to lose it, don't trade it." sounds like people aren't embracing that ...

Request for a (maybe) simple script!

It does. BUT I do not know if it changes the swaps to historical swap values as it backtests. For example if EURUSD swap was $0.10 in 2007 (in the "real" world) and $-0.10 in 2008, it is probably only applying $-0.10 to both 2007 and 2008 in the ...
