Megadroid has a good program, but it is just a program. Dont count on it for too much. When the volitility is high it simply increases the stop, and your risk. If this trade went all the way to the stop it would have been a huge loss... And the fact that it didnt was mostly luck.

Also at some point the test with MM does not make sense, because I just cannot imagine the brokers letting us playing with 50 or more lots... You can quite easily scalp with 1 lot, but 50+ lots may not be so easy to handle. |
Any trading with those lot sizes, particularly short term scalping, would be like a giant bulls eye for every market manipulator in the business. Longer term would be more realistic, but you would need a rather large account to do it.
If you look at 08 the first half of the year was a loser. It made all of its money after the summer was over, and it made incredible money. So far this year doesnt seem that bad, but I'll have to do the math to know for sure.
