William1713006271 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Re: how much time back baktest shud run Backtest? For commercial EA? I only look at them if they can profit for at least 4 years. It should perform well at 2006 till now. Why? 2006 is the year when the global economy was still "healthy", 2007 was "sneezing", 2008 was "sick", 2009 is now. No less than that. For manual trading? 6 months is enough, because manual trading tends to include the traders psychology and stuffs, so longer testing would be great but kindda waste of time. You could never factor the traders inside the trading system. Well, that's me. It's up to you actually. Regards, Quote Ore no Shinka Hikari yo Hayai.
