In the past few years, I've used "FoxGrail/Currency Meter spreadsheet" for my trading and quite successful. In my live trading, I don't use small SL, I used SL far away from the current price. Since I am entering the trade at opposite end of the strength on 2 currencies, I found it more profitable if I don't set SL. But, trading without no SL is not a good idea, so I put something like 100 pips. If trading doesn't produce 20 pip+ targets that I set out initially, then, I have a plenty of time of close the trade without letting it hit my high SL settings.

I know backtesting is not same as forward testing, but here is just couple of my backtesting on EUR/USD. (1 with Fixed lot and the other with money Management lot.)

FerruFx, is there way to make your latest multi currency version to back testable EA? The reason is, if I can backtest, I can find the most optimal settings for EA currencies. As you all know, EUR moves differently then AUD, etc..

Thanks for making this EA.
I can't wait until the market opens.

Edit: FerruFx point out that I am missing some data on my backtesting.
The end of 2006 till April 2007 is missing from the test. Checked my historical data and all data is there, but when I run backtest, somehow, it is skipping. Just FYI..
Please post foxGrail spreadsheet and instructions. Thanks!
