You've made some interesting points for me to think about. I guess I want to avoid tweaking parameters too much to avoid curve fitting. But if the tweaks make sense and if successful over a similar sample size then the tweaks may well be valid.
You may have missed it on my original post but I did try adjusting after 24 hours depending on whether trade in profit or not but it made no noticeable difference.
Out of curiosity do you trade a successful trend following strategy yourself?
If so what is your expectancy cy per tade do you have in terms of R? And over whstvsampke size?
Sorry I missed the bit about adjusting it after 24 hours. I trade price action setups with the stacked ema condition as a filter. It’s profitable but rather different from what you’re doing. I’m happy to share more details in private if you like.
