Hi
I've been burning the candle at both ends attempting to put together a simple trading system/method, and thus far I am encouraged.
However, the method I speak of is a UJ 15 minute system, and this means I have only been able to backtest over a period of around 12 months or so. MT4 does not seem to carry more data than this for the 15m timeframe.
During the mega volatility of the latter part of last year, my method obviously performed exceptionally well. During the last few months, not quite as well but still profitably by a comfortable margin.
My question is this; Do the last 12 months represent a decent sampling period, or have the last 12 months as a whole been pretty exceptional throughout?
Thanks for any advice.
