I have noticed that this pair is trending up from a long time , so I made an expert where I am only taking the long entry " no short" try that approach , it might work
I am not testing the same expert , and I am not saying this is the best approach, but this is a very slow pair and its stuck with an uptrend so use it to your advantage
EURGBP is going through some unprecedented trending movement. It has never happened before, and if you design an EA to take only 1 side of the trade now, I'm sure the market will reverse because it is overly extended at this point. EURGBP is known historically as a ranging pair, just this year, it has really gone bananas. Crazy stuff.
You are correct. You just have to look at the EURGBP chart in 2000 and you'll see that it looks "wrong". I thought I was going to be a millionaire when I was backtesting my scalper. It turned $5000 into a million in 2 years.

In fact, just check out GBPCHF - huge portions of this has 50-100 pips difference between Close/Open of adjacent bars! Hugely profitable on backtests, but completely unrealistic...
