Hello codersguru,

In terms of backtest these results looks quite good, especially for the long period of testing (4 and half year).
I like simple ideas like this that can generate profit.

It is promissing but the drawdown is too high I think 29.7%!!
The profit factor is respectable 2.07.
There is something that is bothering me, that trade for example:

3938 2004.01.15 20:58 close 1845 1.00 1.2574 0.0000 1.1516 -9580.00 57700.00

You are losing -958 pips on 1 position ?
You have actually no stop loss in all the position, but only a trailing stop ?


I would have a further look when I get home today

Cheers
