Why post in commercial section when you are just looking to exchange?

I moved.
Because who knows: exchanging, not exchanging ... he will receive many PMs and emails anyway from the people who have nothing to exchange ...

Besides as I see it is backtesting results so ... according my opinion - nothing can be evaluated seriously based on backtesting results as many people can do similar backtesting easy: I did it with public EAs for example and posted many statements in Traders Joking thread so can I exchange?

I moved his thread to this section and sent PM to him about new location.

Thats interesting, could post links to your creations? Actually we are all looking to copy a system, even if we are just copying the big boys, but I'm sure you mean it in a different way.

Link is on my previous post.
There are many ways to code EAs with very good backtesting results (but nothing with reality of course). Coders know about it.
So, who knows: exchanging, or just getting new one, or just getting next same one ...

Because proposals about
"i have good EA"
and
"look at my backtesting results"
are not connected between each other at all.

If EA is good backtesting so it means nothing in most of cases. More good - more nothing. Because of backtesting

Sorry, do not want to "kill" this idea about exchanging and it is only reason why I did not move this thread to Traders Joking thread.

Just for example: it is the trading system. Just follow the rules posted as 1, 2, 3 ,4 and 5 and everything will be fine (someone bought this system and was so angry for himself so posted it in some russian forum). It is whole system with all the particularities and rules are here.

Same with backtesting

Sorry, do not want to spam this thread.

Agree with you ND , backtesting is different than forwardtesting , to prove it just do forwardtesting for couple of month , then backtesting it , and compare both of it , forwardtesting = backtesting means good ea but it doesn't mean profitable ea

I agree with this statement. The back tester is only good to be used as a tool, to see if you have coded your EA right. That's ALL!

Well it is not always like that. When ea is based on indicator(s) it can be that way. But when ea is based on price-action, backward en foreward testing will almost always be very close to each other.

I totally disagree with this. Depends of the historical datas you have in your terminal.

Keep in mind that brokers continuously updates the historical datas ... for example to modify their bad ticks sent in real feed (stop hunting mode!!!).
