What are Blackbox settings?

.

Blackbox settings are packaged settings that you can merely select from the EA settings menu and all the settings below will automatically traded. You merely need to make sure your account sizing is in proportion to account sizing used in the Black Box Results

The settings are not necessarily the very best setting obtained in testing but they have been selected on their chance of repeating in the future.

Please note that the previous settings for the GBPJPY, GBPUSD and the EURJPY have been replaced by the settings below

 GBPJPY  BLACKBOX: RSI OB/OS Setting

Account sizing

These settings were obtained using a $ 800 account and using $300 as the allocated amount. For safety it might be more appropriate to assume that a $1 000 account was used. So a micro account of $500 allocating $150 (30%) would be in an acceptable proportion.

The settings for the results are available below. Note the 99.9% testing accuracy

Test result disclaimer

The above test results were generated using third party software and data. We used the MT4 Strategy Tester and DukasCopy data imported through TickStory. We use EveryTick basis of testing every final test and cross check results using up to 3 independent computers. We do NOT use the Genetic Algorithm and test every combination. In most cases we also use independent parties to verify the reasonableness of you test results. Although we take as much care as we can there are inherent limitations to the Strategy Tester with huge differences being experienced from test to tester testing the same item.

These test results are provided as a guide to help you get the best out of your Happy Envelope EA. They are not provided for marketing purposes or provided to try to impress or deceive anybody – there is nothing to be gained by that. So please use them for what they are. If you can not duplicate our results in your own testing do not be concerned – that is normal as there are too many variables that have to be identical for that to happen.  This further points towards the limitations of testing results. So please do not try to discredit us if you don’t – we are truly taking as much care as we can to produce these results. We will also not spend any effort at trying to reconcile results you get in your testing with ours. If you do not like our results and feel more confident with your please use your results.

Also be aware that there are many limitations to using test data. Fixed spreads are used when testing whereas spreads can vary considerably in reality. Slippage could occur in reality.

Therefore Expert4x and its employees and owners can not be held responsible for any losses suffered as results as the guidance provided by these test results and the use of the Happy Envelope EA. 

Please use these test results with the knowledge of these shortcomings.
