Hello. I try to create a robot for long-term trading. Developed a robot and progressively refined it. Now there is a test on a demo account for the development of optimal parameters and to introduce new features to the work of the robot.
I am guided to yield 25-75% a year with max dd 20%. Now the robot is trading 3 currency pairs with an average risk 2% per trade. But I think the risk is high. Probably, I will lower the risk of the deal to 1% or even 0.5%.
There is a back tests with these parameters where each pair bring 250-400% over 4 years.
By December 2014 or January of the new year I plan to complete all the work and start a real account. Of course if everything is good-)
Good luck to me -)
and sorry for bad english.
