We are pleased about so many people visiting our website and joining our services.
This 2012 has been a great year for us because of your recognition and permanent encouraging.
Trading activity is what we most like to do, but it is very hard and lonely activity almost impossible to develop without your friendly companion.
Again this year we gained lot of experience and learned many new tricks about markets and related to our trading systems behavior.
Forex trading is fantastic; there is always something else to learn. Every day you are confront new market situations and need to be aware for taking not only trade results from market but also for learning what happened during this trading session. Developing forex trading systems is like living inside a lab where you are testing once and once again new different alternatives for improving your trading ideas.
The only that always keeps constant when trading is that everything moves and varies permanently. On this varying environment you need to confirm every time and moment that trading rules you are applying when managing your forex trading system continue being applicable under the new environment.
A very tight compromise between adjusting to market environment and curve fitting your forex trading system should exist and if not being aware you may get good results for short periods of time while extreme conditions for which you optimized your trading system exist. After a few trading sessions when market goes to a new and different situation tight parameters or trading rules will run out of shape and performance parameters begin failing.
Forex trading system developers same as forex account management companies must stay very concerned with these concepts maintaining trading systems lax enough to adjust to varying trading environments’ while maintaining their high and outstanding performance.
Forex System survival through extended time periods showing stable performance parameters relay on this compromise, same as on their proper definition for reflecting a market environment from which the system will get its trading signals which will reflect its accuracy at the performance.
Do not trade or observe forex trading systems during short periods of time and this should relate to system time frame. I would say that valuating hourly time frame trading systems should consider some period between 2 to 10 trading years. Also during the valuation period system must show enough number of trades for giving consistency to your observations.
