In 10 days of trading this Combo account it has averaged $110 per day profit with very little in the way of risky situations.

I do not back test neither do I trust in backtesting results so you must forgive me if I still believe that this combination actually works.

Closed profit $1282.42 Floating loss $7.60

I just thought I'd take my comparison a little further. I ran another backtest - to mirror the period you've just posted. Looking at your statement, I think you made $896 on Mod1e.

My backtest only made it as far as 21 Feb before it completely washed out.

What the hell is going on here? I'm seriously confused.

The Account was started on the 19th Feb and had a balance of $1870 with a starting unit of .1 aimed at finding a suitable set up to trade with a small account. Divide by 10 and you will see that it could have been run on $187 using .01 starting unit.

This detailed statement consists of all the trading since the account was started and is seperated by comments so that each EA can be assessed for it's contribution to the overall result. $714 Closed Profit and $2 Floating Profit has been obtained in the 7 trading days.

GoblinFibo settings:-
