It is foolish to assume that all users of this EA will keep the standard parameters in place. It is human nature to take something that is proven to work and try to make it better. Some will run it on a 4 hour chart, some on a 1 hour chart, still others on a 30 minute chart. Some will optimize it every month or so and tweak the parameters accordingly. My point is that even if 5000 people ran this EA, it would be with different brokers, the positions would be quite varied (some long, some short) and they will be opened and closed at different times. If you're interested in the obvious, then this is it.
