I ran this short test on 6 pairs at the same time with v1_4. The floating loss is high (keep in mind 6 pairs are running), but it never hit it's SL.
I'm using a lot size of 0.1, Next trade=12, Close by profit = 1.0, no SL (999).
MA period=5, time frame=3, max trades=40.
This is very conservative but the DD is small and profits are consistent.
