From $10,000 to $2,000,000 in 16 months using low-quality 1M backtester. Damn backtest!

Looks effective Scorp, but we all know how tricky MQ backtests can be, live forward testing only we can trust, that is a pitty though.

scorpion, you forgot about "Modelling quality = 26.57%". And take a look to "Lots" graph - standard holy grail by using too aggressive reinvesting.

Try to collect more M1 data and get 90% quality.

Hey

You didn't notice "low-quality 1M backtester" in my post. Yup i've seen the model quality is low. I actual have 1M back to 2004 but i forgot to check "Recalculate" before backtest. Now i've got 90% quality, and the result is quite different. But still 500% net profit a year (10% compound).

What currency pairs did you test this on? I'm interested in the thinking behind the strategy more than the results right now

Yup i'm a real trader using oanda trading platform. It's ideal for use in news trading since spread is only 1 to 2 pips (before news break of course).
