Well I tested another EA every which way for 3-4 months, back many years, all looked so good, for 6 months I made money then in a few weeks it completely died and it did not matter how little risk you traded, no one would trade that low of a risk to be safe. All the testing made me so confident. So now I am looking forward and expecting losses to occur the way they have in the past. If they don't the pattern of the EA performance is broken and I have to expect something unknown. At that point I will be very cautious, even if there are 10 wins in a row. So my strength becomes the manual system and my ability to use a few other indicators to trade accurately or to stay out of trouble.
Market conditions change over the years. What works now may not next year or even next week. If you have a good few weapons in your armoury that have an edge, then over the long term you should be ok.
