Of course, my "trading window too wide" theory is confirmed by my own backtests

Until Oct 2008, the wider window performed well, but since Oct 2008 really lot of trades after 1:15-1:25 suck for this pair. If you look at graphs, you can see that the market just gets from the small-ranging phase into trending phase sooner for many days. IMHO
FAPT developers backtested-optimized trade range bounds somewhere in October last time, so they don't confirm anymore to current market conditions.
