Hi all,

(being a newbie in java & trading, I have lot to learn.)

After a few days experimenting, i found it pretty easy to come up with mostly winning algorithm.

Mostly because when they lose, they lose too much, so i'm working on this (& this optimization process is far far far less easy !).

I'm not going to ask you for that algorithm you've been working on for month or years & that do the trick but i thought we could share on which pair/period offering extreme conditions we are backtesting our algorithm for loss control ?

Me been using EUR/AUD in July 2013, as, I thought (but I could be wrong or far from forex realities considering mt newbieness) it combines some nice predictable market patterns with huge (?again no experience to really appreciate) whipsaw invariably (in my case so far) leading to loss.
