Two different market types will yield best results so you know it will work in both types of markets. Also how it trades during news, concentrate on days where the market was going crazy because of the news.
Just my small input to help you receive better results

The reason for the longer period is that market conditions vary a lot and the condition in FX is quite different form the market that occurred in the summer. Programs that worked in the summer are not wsorking quite as well now. A good compromise would be a month during the summer and september throught to October.
