Yes, my best result was 33% with 90% tick model. Check-out the link somewhere in this thread that guides you to another thread which shows how to backtest correctly.

Hmmmmm....I sense grave danger ahead....
Ausome, Thanks Orange. I spent almost 11 months on FOREX.com with a demo account trying to learn anything but it was a waste of time. I learnet nothing and at the end I had to close my live account ( Inever got to use but lost more than CAD200 because of currency conversion )
Being on this forum for the past 4 days has taught me much more that what I learnet on my ownin the past 11 months.
I tried the back test and it looks ok, but the EA itself, I dont see it triggered! I download the one done by skyline, but It is still not opening nor closing any positions for me. Thanks for the input

...Personally, I think Mr. Spock sleeps too much hence the squash ear.
Hey you might be onto something there Orange. There might be an additional reason for the ear-close-to-cranium? Maybe it's in part due to the magetic pull from that Vulcan Mind Meld thingy?

---Hey i'm glad to hear you use the 1hr chart also. Sometimes i come across as a rebel on threads as i like to look at the idea of a big picture from smaller timeframe charts, but i'm really a nice guy (at least my wonderful wife of the past 24 years thinks so. grin) Also, i've gone back to the beggining of spring 2005 on the GbpUsd pair and am forward testing manually looking at the 15m chart just to see the finner retracements and such at the break of the daily H/L to figure out some MM details for myself.

spock was abuse as a child. His father wont settle for Grade B. He pull spock's ears almost 9times a day. When asked, why his father did that to him, He said,"Its only logical". poor guy!

Anyway, i also use the 15mins chart (ta da... another suprise!) to see my renko and 3way line break chart. This way, im in no hurry to leave a trade even the fibo touches the line already.

Yoda must be a vegetarian and the seth is a meat eater. Its obvious, isn't it?

What kind of files are these?

Are they supposed to be viewable?

I just ripped some pips off the eurusd on the 1.2775 cross to the downside!
Its for the chart history, so that when backtesting, the platform can draw candles of the past and systems can be tested as viable or not.

I did a backtest using SRDC method, GBP/USD daily from 1st Sept till 29th Sept. Backtest are done using MT4 Strategy Tester, visual mode, tick by tick. so it's accurate as in real time mode.

All open trades are closed at the end of the day (EOD) regardless of the value, unless of course it reached the TP or SL. The trades which doesn't reached the SL or TP are marked with REVERSE.

The spreadsheet are done with no automatic equations as i'm too lazy LOL so just feel free to modified it if you want to.

You can also used this data as to see whether the EA is working just like doing the trades manually.

sorry if what i post above confuse you guys. It's not the EA. I'm backtesting SRDC method in Sept 2006.

It's easy to manually backtest the method (not EA). just Open te Strategy Tester, and tick the Visual Mode, Model should be Every Tick, use Daily timeframe, and just use any EA (select 0 Lot so that no trades be open), and just click start. Adjust the speed to slow down the movement of price, and pause it to draw lines/indicators. Once again, I'm not testing an EA, but am backtesting SRDC method. sorry if my post is confusing. I was refering that if the EA is working properly, then it should get a result nearly the same with my manually open trade. If it's not getting the same result, but the settings are all the same, then there's something wrong with the EA.

Example of backtesting on 1st Sept 2006 in pics below.

Nice work!

I compared your results to those of my EA, and they placed the exact same trades. The only difference was on some 'critical' days, where the profit target gets reached for only 1-2 ticks and price then retraces, the trades sometimes don't get closed. Seems to be Strategy Testers built in 'realism factor'.

Everything else equal, a quick optimisation showed best results with TP=78 and SL=32.
So what about splitting the order to reach different profit targets? Could this increase overall performance?

Excellent findings. 80% of profit should be taken as T1 and T2 the remaining 20%. Should the trade goes against us, 20% of 32SL wont be so bad. Have options for entering the percentage and the T1 & T2 values. AND no need to include cTp0. LOL

Yes, they designed it with 1hr candles. You can use daily but changed the parameters.

kewl.

for the manual backtest, i use Daily, 21 trades.

If EA daily, then only 14 max (don't know about the others). and if using EA 1hr, then i got 21 trades.

Gonna manually backtest all 3 pairs for Aug, Sep, and Oct. If profitable, then gonna use it next week in my live account.

Good Morning Orange

Thanks a lot for sharing your system. It's simple yet effective. You just hit the nail rigth on the head

I would like to know if there's any particular session that you would prefer to trade(London, New York, Asian)?

Regards
Peace
