    How to make a perfect FOREX system tradable

    I have found a method with a external program to make very good system code which is NOT optimized. The problem however is that the system is not tradable due the small average trade.

    The system works on 1 M timeframe on the EURUSD for now and is intended to work as a scalper...

    I am offering a system to work with and to improve so we both can benefit.

    Is someone interested?

    You mean the average trade is 1 pip? That is smaller than the bid/ask spread, so, ipso facto, is noise. What are you seeking to improve the system?

      With a good ecn broker this would indeed be the spread. Therefore I wonder if someone knows a technique for example with filters to increase average trade value

        The usual time of day, volatility and higher timeframe filter would come to mind, but with this avg trade you would need to substantially increase it imho. Perhaps moving up a few timeframes would be beneficial?

          What interests me is what stops are used.

          This could be the type of strategy (and almost certainly is) where you have a very long stop, which hardly ever kicks in, especially as there's an impossibly short 'profit target'.

          I'm wondering if this is a case of 'Gambler's Ruin' (google this), a game where a player can make a great number of very small wins, but very rarely has a colossal loss that will wipe him/her out totally.

          I'm prepared to bet that this is an example.

          What stops are in place for this strategy - if there are any...

          I'd love to know...

            That cannot be answered in a vacuum. You will have to disclose more of the high level details of the system, unless you want to hear just generalities like using a larger time frame etc..
