Strategy Myth-Busting #8 - TrendSurfers+TrendOsc - [MYN]

29 wrz 2022

This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.

Our 8th one is an automated version of the "653% Gain Magical 1 Minute Scalping Strategy Tested 100 Times | Become Consistently Huge Profit" strategy from "Fxaccurate US" who claims to have achieved 653% profit scalping GOLD on the 5 minute timeframe. As you can see from the backtest results below, I was unable to substantiate anything close to that that claim on any timeframe or symbol. Myth 10000% busted.

If you know of or have a strategy you want to see myth-busted or just have an idea for one, please feel free to message me.
