While it is not a secret that backtesting is a real pain for me… nevertheless it needs to be done. It took a long time to really test Best Forex Sniper’s EA. Doing one currency pair over the period of 8 months took me like 12 hours… and I was really contemplating on whether I should continue with backtesting other currency pair.
Well, I had to do it. I needed to satisfy my curiosity… leaving no stone unturned. I wanted to me sure that my initial ‘blink’ on the chart was correct.
In my previous posts Martingale Mania V ~ Currency Pair, I manage to get 4 out of 5 correct, with a glance of the chart to see that my theory that any pair with a 330 pips movement one way without retracing would not be suitable for this EA.
With that before diving into these 4 currency to backtest it further… I had to satisfy my curiosity if other pairs could have potential for this EA… I did not trust my eyes.
So… here are the results on the currency pair that I have backtested
EURGBP, GBPCHF, AUDJPY, EURUSD, GBPUSD, NZDJPY, USDCHF, USDJPY

EURGBP
Well… well… I seem to have missed out two currency pair which could have potential… USDCHF and AUDJPY. Step two??
Maybe a little while more… I found a few more exotic pair which could prove interesting… Stay tune…
