My computer is pretty slow so when I run a back test on MT4 it takes a while. I’ve tried finding periods of 30-100 bars that contain a trend, some ranging, and maybe a whipsaw to test some things out. Do any of you have a perfect period of time that you use for test purposes before you do a full blown back test that takes much longer? If so, share the currency pair and the time period.
Criteria:
- trend up 10+bars
- trend down 10+ bars
- significant ranging for 20+ bars
- whipsaw
