Wow - are you aware that it took almost 170 trades to get to +20k ???
Then from trade #170->#200, it tripled that and won +60k ?
What characterized the period 170->200 and 469->present ?
High volatility ? Lots of wide swings ?
I believe it is important to understand the characterization of the trading
period to determine if the system should even be traded at all under those
conditions.....
BTW: did you try this with smaller bars....say 20 minutes ?
