Back Testing the first half of April 2008

While we wait on the programming code to be built for our auto trader, I have begun the work of hand backtesting the first half of April using our upgraded trading rules. This will give us some added data to work with as we write the code. I anticipate the 400+ trades for the first half of April will take me about 25 hours to complete and so I hope to have the test completed by this weekend. I will post the results just as soon as I have them.

Risk Disclosure

No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed.

Risk Warning! Trading foreign exchange includes the use of margin and carries with it a high Initial level of risk which may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.
