Lou and GirlFlyer,
I apologize for my dumb question. I am simply trying to recreate this EAs great results as a way to learn the Strategy Tester. I have already read all 250+ messages in this and the earlier thread.

Even after importing the historical data and running EUR/USD on M1 and every tick, I get results far different than those postedin the Word doc.

I know it must be something in my settings, I'm just trying to pinpoint what that is. It sounds from other postings that I'm not the only one who has had trouble with this.

Here is some output from the report testing 1.05 Version A:

Same problem here, and it's not from lack of data. I have 1 min data from Alpari going back to June 2004. I can't figure out why the modeling quality is so low.

Hi,
I am very new with MetaTrader. I have came accross many strategies in this forum but cant figure out how to include the indicator to the chart system.
Can anybody let me know or give me a link on how to do this.
It would be of great help not only for testing Flyer EA ! but the others too.
Thanks

... snip ... I'm still reanalyzing everything, but after resolving the problem, the accuracy of the EA appears to have dropped down to about 65-70% with the drawdowns being much larger. ... snip ...

GirlFlyer,

Though you had found a mistake, the EA is still very impressive in forward testing compared to many of the other EAs I have come across in this and other forums. I can say that at least you are on the right track for even a better EA, and have mproved upon a manual system.....

With a combination of 60%-70% accuracy and good money management you can be laughing all the way to the bank. Don't let that disappoint you ... that is very impressive and more then enough of an accuracy to actually make money!!!

Thanks for the support. I know what you mean.

And just to back it all up... GBP/USD up +85 pips on a sell from earlier today. Not bad at all...

i dont know what've gone wrong,

running flyer v100b for 10 days, i've only got 1 gbpusd position open. that's right, 1 trade in 10days.

recent result quite dissapointing. i hope there's someone who can post his/her forward test result.

i have noticed quite a few times now that the EA will get into a trade then the pair will reverse, profit will be negative then the pair makes a nice run the opposite way..

but the neg trade NOT closing out and reversing due to waiting till hits SL instead of closing out on an opposite signal...

hope that made sense.


would it be better to just close out positions when the opposite signal is reached... no matter what profit is (pos or neg) ?

To prevent whipsaws during sideways moves overnight... have each pair have different times to trade.

so only OPEN a NEW trade during better trading hours for pair.

this idea may add some more smaller -10 to -20 pip losses here and there but it will get the 100 pip gains that i missed the other day !!!

thoughts?

Hi Girlflyer

Really impressed with the EA so far, many thanks for sharing. On my forward testing (results as previous post), is it advisable/ feasible to change the SL for individual trades when I have decided the I'm happy with the profits and want to lock in at that point? (eg at 85 pips etc). Will this effect future trades by the EA?.

Also, with the kind of results it is capable of producing, maybe a feature could be that you can set your total profit target for the day (or week, to coincide with the actual open and close of markets) (say 100 pips, day/ 500 pips week) and then all positions would be closed once that target had been reached, and the restart at the following day's/ week's open?

Many thanks again
