I never proved anything

i do it with text files... in my init() i open the file and read them back into my array. cheers edit) rangebound hit the nail on the head.

Is it possible to save array info?

if you found something that seems to work, good for you! 1) i didn't "react." i responded. my reply had nothing to do with "how smart i am." 2) if you ask 100 REAL currency traders if EURUSD is more volatile than GBPUSD, 99 would laugh ...

My own small "revelations" about volatility

hmmmm.... 75% in the 2006 backtest was the worst over the previous 8 years... .... the end of year return was 1000% (in other words, the account made a 4000% return after the drawdown) but... my philosophy is different than most..... i do not try to ...

that's great. i wonder how you'd be feeling if the trades went against you? would you still have this gung ho attitude? everyone's risk tolerance is different. if i had a 25K account, i'd trade it a hell of a lot differently than a 10K account. ...
