Is this the right setup fo fx contracts? ...what am i doing wrong as 
anual return is only .05% for nearly every system I try? Once i get 
the settings right I will at least be on the rihgt track.

Settings

Short delay: 0  Cover delay: 0 
Stops

Exit at stop? no  Exit at stop? no 
  
Trailing stop: point

Formula 


// long trades entry and exit rules: 
Buy = EMA(Close,7)>EMA(Close,21); 
Sell = EMA(Close,7)<EMA(Close,21); 
 
// short trades entry and exit rules: 
Short = EMA(Close,7)<EMA(Close,21); 
Cover = EMA(Close,7)>EMA(Close,21);
