Sexy Olude_Olumide Samson found your humble beginning. That's a joke for Mr xClus1ve...AKA NoobShow...
Any How, fellow traders. MT4 does kinda suck in Strategy Tester and getting good data is a pain. I got the strategy Quaint Subscription so I could get Tick Data from Duckass or Tick mill, you know the known sources. SQ Data Subscription seemed to be one of the better ways to get data if you got a lifetime subscription. I just went to the site and seems they updated. I paid like 60 bucks at the time.
Anyhow, I found there's more to it then just the Strategy Tester is limited. I know it has a lot to do with your EA and such. I Know one thing I always hear is testers/coders and such always talking about these long ass back tests for years to see if you have a profitable system. Then we also contradict these statements by talking about price action trading and ranging markets and market reports and scalping trade-oligy along with other stuff.
So, actually unless my strategy is fully some algorithm that can adapt with the Market over that whole period of time taking in ALL the Variables, to me that would mean I need to be current with the market change and opted for that situation. The last 3 months or less.
Most EA's you coded I believe depends on the quality of code and if you have the elements built into the EA to be profitable at all..Basically trading with the trend; with opens that aren't opened in ranging markets or trading into S/R points and a few other factors. Some said slippage don't matter. Spread does! Arbitration EA slippage matters a lot. So I think once again we are looking the wrong way at it.
Point is; clean code and knowing your EA logic and what one filter vs another filter does (the point of back-testing) to your EA performance is the Key to back-tests.
Also, as I was getting at... I trade a .set file from the past for the future. You all know in Forex a currency pair will range then go to a new hi or low and range again based off of market sentiment (the easy definition).
So, my logic is to find the optimal settings that actually affect my EA. The ones that define the Logic of the Open (order). Not the take profit. the stops, the breakeven's and such. That's the second test after you annualize if you are getting in on the turn and just took 30 pips, but Dang that baby went another 60. Now I get greedy and fine tune those secondary settings. Leave secondary settings wide open to find the turns and get in with enough room for your profit according to your strategy.
As I develop I'm constantly testing a new filter (something added to the strategy like Currency Strength) I'm seeing how that affects what I previously had for profit meaning getting in at the right time. Did it reduce losses? DD went down SWEET!
But, as I was getting to:0...I will have it narrowed down to only settings I need to optimize. Especially in MT4 because of the engine. Settings like TP, Stop and BE for the most part are figured out according to the time frame and pairs. Say 20 pips so you close before the big DD.
So trading forward, now I'm concerned about next week. The ranging and benching are roughly 3 weeks on lower time frames. Longer for higher according to your strategy. We'll I like 15min and H1 for a lot of my EA's. Why test back 90 years now its current market I care about.
I will test back 90 days for a good overall settings for things I mentioned and a few other type filters to get the range of the market. Then I got my opt settings even further defined. I'm down to the only settings to make my EA profitable that are not "NOW" considered Static Settings. I NOW have Settings that opt in 15-30 minutes if possible. Most my stuff I have no issues with OpenPrice Opts.
Now to trade live I set my opts up to cover the last two weeks basically. 8-10 day opts. Mass Time Saved on my weekend. I got the best set file for the current market for next week. I should be catching the new range or bench or up and down trend. It all depends on your EA Logic. If the D trend is up and you only allow buys how's that affect your EA outcome. Make since?
So, I opt back 10 days if on the 15M and rely on that .set for the next week trade. Sometimes I opt every Wed and Sat to catch those moves on the mid week to adjust for next week. It's a learning lesson of your EA.
The part that sucks is doing this for 19 pairs for 5 EA's to forward test every week. But, If I do this I find my live trades are more relevant with the current market. Plus I think the MT4 Strategy Tester is more relevant in helping me succeed than not. More pips and less losers. That's the point of the 10,000 calculations of combinations_is it not?
I think we all just get tired of waiting for the test to end and check the results, then test and adjust and so forth. Takes a lot of time. IT Feeds us valuable information though, if you have a clue in the first place.
My experience of all this made me produce a program to (not reinvent the wheel) (MT4 Strategy Tester.) But, utilize my time better and also have the most current .set files in my EA's for live trading.
This is why I invented and created the GFS Mega Optimizer. Basically it interfaces with MT4 Strategy Tester, you can set up schedules for all 28 pairs. It will auto run the test according to your settings same as MT4 Strategy Tester. It will pick the top set file just like you do (for the most part we pick the one at the top) and the coolest greatest thing is it applies the new .set into your live trading account. ON THE FLY. I'm not interacting all weekend with the minute details anymore. I made a schedule for 28 pairs and monitor the results in forward testing next week. Tweaking when I see a problem.
It can test and send from live or demo accounts. Same MT4 if you wish. I personally set up on non expiring demos and shoot to live and demo accounts. You can test and trade on same account. If you have a looser and or notice a huge price fluctuation creating another bench area it has a manual mode to re-opt just that one pair before your next Scheduled Opt time. Encase you don't want to wait.
Of course theirs a lot more features not explained here. Manual Mode was designed for whats above, but also to pick your steps. Try opting a few features to see if they apply to your EA's logic and actually affect its outcome. You do this for that breakdown period I was talking about to get final Optimal Opt Settings.
Well I hope this helps. It's just my philosophy from many hours of testing. Here's some pics of my new best friend. My Profile has website. 
I got more pics if anyone wants a look.
