So I've been optimizing (still am), this one robot and back-testing with the most precise methods and correct commissions (45), I got results from 1.1.2015-4.12.2015: +100k€ and max. DD -250€, quite straight and 70k trades. Seems good? I don't trust "seems good" anymore in this area of business anymore...
I started forward-test now, I hope to get good results, but am not very trusting, as these systems and forex business in general have lots of unforeseen pitfalls. Actually just 2 days ago when I had been running optimization for 3 days and forward testing, windows installed some updates at night-time and restarted PC! (I thought I had them disabled, but was wrong). This bot-business and ofc. re-optimizing is much smarter than mirror trading, for example. I tried that. Did a lot of work. It always seemed it should have worked, but in the end it did not. I recommend you to stay away from mirror trading.

It was actually a strange glitch. Even though the balance-line was straight for 3 years and 70k trades, 98% of those trades were made on june-july 2015. Can't understand why that is, and why that performance isn't transferable to time outside that period. Oh well.
