REAL Expert Advisor backtesting (99% modeling quality)

(this is from 01/01/2015 to 01/09/2018)

I will soon show you the same test WITHOUT tickdata; without slippage, without var. spread, without commissions (and how misleading it is!!!).

If I have some time on my hands, I may do a video on how to properly backtest a strategy.

Busy atm.

Stay safe,
FF

reteid2222, how do your EAs compare to that?

Thx

Wer ist besser?

;-)

Outstanding! Interesting to see only 2 consecutive wins and 2 consecutive losses..... I had asked many questions over the course of your thread. Unfortunately, those questions are still unanswered. Do you hedge? Do you use SLs, do you move your SLs, do you use TP, do you close all end of day or carry over positions overnight or weekend. if yes, how do you hedge risk exposure with gaps, news, sudden talking head spikes, etc. All these are VERY important aspects of any strategy which remain muddy for your followers imo. And yes, I am now your follower along with many others who I have subscribed to :-)

EDIT: I am not a believer in backtesting but looking forward to your video :-

Hi FF, I just have a small question. How do you personally view Renko Trading? Does it give you some sort of edge? since it eliminates time from the equation? Thank you for any thoughts.

I looked into this years ago.

I do not use it. However, I knew someone once who had a good strategy based on it.

Stay safe.

"Do you hedge?"


Not in my auto trading.

The EA does NOT use:

- martingale
- hedging
- grid
- pyramiding....

"Do you use SLs, do you move your SLs, do you use TP"

Yes, the EA covers all of that.

FF

"do you close all end of day"

No.

FF

"how do you hedge risk exposure with gaps, news, sudden talking head spikes"

all incorporated...

FF

"And yes, I am now your follower along with many others who I have subscribed to :-)"

I think you were very early onwards.

Understand that I SEPARATE my manual trading (causality based) from my auto trading.

Different shoes.

FF

Note:

You can imagine how my knowledge and experience of the market causality (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...2#post11491872) has helped me in developing this.

I don t see what EA you tested...I don t see any TFs any time range...nothing clear....
it s in my opinion NO structure like in your other tests...
If you have needed years to come to this...I know where U r in one year...
Unsubscribed....
And don t ask me:"Wer ist besser"...just look at my coding and U know...bye.,..

".I don t see any TFs any time range...nothing clear.."

All clearly stated........reading helps.........anyways.......goodbye....

FF

Great. That was helpful :-(

"Great. That was helpful"

Regarding weekend gaps,

you can either add a function that the EA closes all positions on a Friday at a defined time.....or you can manually close...

regarding news,

my EA trades over these..............others use a news filter...
