Back tests are pretty un-reliable. But some combinations show promise. Check this one out. There is always some kind of a drop off in profit at the end, because the EA is usually in the middle of a cycle trying to make your profit, and then the tester closes all when you hit your ending date.

yep i have to agree that the back tests are next to useless but they are ok for setups i run all my test from 01/01/1999 to the current date. I am running the same test as i did before but with the figures above.

Cheers
