I think the more important question is what happens if the up-tick rule is reinstated? Will that affect the performance of the 20DMF / Robots going forward?
I'd guess people are interested in going back further in time in order to determine if the system works well in either environment.
If the up-tick rule is reinstated, then i'll also go back in time to check, but I will not do that work beforehand.
We will have time to adjust.
Is it possible to provide the trades of the robots with stop loss level of the testing period that you posted on the Robots page? i.e.
