@onur… yes, i know that this 10 year backtesting needs to be done.. but this is really taking hours and hours and hours just to backtest one currency pair… slow and steady i guess. btw.. what is CCYs? So I guess it is safe to test it out since 2005 to 2009 no?

@Patricia.. thanks for visiting…

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

You have to backtest at least on last two years of data.

On this TF the worst trend movements happened ever on most CCYs caused by the crisis.Try it out, especially on EUR/CHF

To be on the safe side u have to run the full 10 year backtest, no matter what.

Euro pairs backtest u can start on 1st of Jan. 2002, the date of introducing the Euro.
Before it was ECU, a basket currency. These converted datas are not trustworthy in my opinion.
