Ok thought u had some 3rd party REAL ticks cuz the ticks from MT4 are completely simulated.

The two nasty DDs (well one actually account wipe out) I post here were done on the 90% models. So am a bit worried.(v18 and v9.1).

when i first started this thread, i ran the original for 2 weeks without changing versions or interfearing

then i ran in tester the same 2 weeks

the live trades were better than the test, profit was higher and dd was lower in real life

so this assures me wel get better results than in tester

your correct about the simulation
orders are lagged because of this in tester, and creats worse results than real life

control point is 12 points simulated in a bar

so how many ticks are in a m1 bar

60 or so, during active times much more

heres how tester works, it takes the high low open close, and uses 12 points to simulate the ticks

if you do a tick test, it only means were starting on the least tf that has data

if you only test back 2 months, m1 is used, m5 goes back 5. something months, and so on

but every tf is using control points, if using ticks, it just means control points in all least timeframes

if you understand what im saying, youl also realize how unreliable the tester is

but its not a complete waste

in fact, its actually very accurate on some systems

those systems include ea's that have longer term trades

if the ea has targets of hundreds of pips
the tester is very accurate

but if its using a trailing stop, or takes small profits of like 10-20 pips
the test is very very inaccurate

a m1 bar can have over 60 ticks in real life, in tester 12
imagine 60 m1 bars in a h1 bar

yes its very inaccurate

when this ea does a hedge, it opens 1 order per tick, all the orders are pretty much in the same place
but in tester the orders stretch out in a few bars, since there strtched out, the target is farther away

and sometimes the target dont get hit, when in real life it did

therefore you get much worse results in tester

but if you understand how tester works, its priceless

we wouldnt be here without it

the rollover looks very complicated to me
i cant make heads or tails of it
when i look at the charts i see no pattern on wednsday

maybe i need team up with a coder from that thread lol
looks like theres some very smart ones there

these ideas are new as of today
so i dont know if il make it

if any1 is interested to learn the rollover n give me simple rules
id appreciate it

but its alot for my brain to digest

kinda like relearning a operating system
im just not willing

that explains why i wont move on to vista lol

hell i just now mastered xp

im the type that realy dreads learning something new
like a browser or anything

iv put so much into learning what i use now
i dont wanna change

i feel the urge to correct my self

when i said 12 points

i belive tester also does 12 points in between each of the 12 points when running tick

my main point wasnt to disect how tester works

but to show why its inaccurate

anyway, i believe i explained it enough trhat u get the ideah

I would like deploy some of your EAs live on a nano accounts each funded with lets say a 100$.

But when am backtesting it v18,19,22,25,9.1 am gettin:
Journal:
2008.03.22 15:28:55 2008.01.30 18:48 trendchaser_super_ea_v25 GBPJPY,M5: OrderSend error 131

from error codes:
ERR_INVALID_TRADE_VOLUME 131 Invalid trade volume.

I do set manually Balance param to 100 and change Lots param to .001 (if left unchanged it just wipes the acc in a while).

How to adjust it to NANO?

thx

remember spock on star trek
well im raising my brow like he does

you got me there
i didnt know you could bet under 0.01 lots

the 131 error means invalid lots

these tests that show wipe outs, whats the broker?
ibfx mini is nano

i dont know of any other broker thats nano

ibfx calls it mini like all the other brokers, but thats wrong, 0.01 to me is 1 cent
other so called mini accounts its realy 10 cents, which is 10 times more

thats why this ea is made for ibfx mini only

this ea is made for ibfx mini account
thats the only account iv ever had, and the only type of account i realy know

so please use ibfx mini to test, then test on your broker, and adjust the setting to try n get simular results

settings to adjust is, lots, mm_calculation

ok theres forum rules, i think
that say i cant be talking bout brokers
'
i dont understand these rules?
i think only 1kt members can talk about brokers

just so happens i have over 5000 live trades under my belt
so im a 5kt

i cant compare brokers
alot of you want this ea to work on diferent brokers
its not my fault they calculate diferently

yeah u take 5 brokers in comparison
they all 5 say mini

you place a 0.01 lot trade on each
compare the margin it takes for that trade
compare the profit for pip

so there all diferent
one is 1 cent, another is 5 cents, another is 10 cents, another is a dollar

i dont know what a mini is
and i dont think theres a rule for it

im not putting down any broker
the shit is over my head

maybe its dif leverage?
i dont know

only thing i know is iv been with ibfx for 2 yrs and thats the only broker i know

iv worked out all the math on ibfx and i com[pletely understand it

from my experience, the demo sucks
it freezes, its just unreliable
especially at news

id wrather bet 0.01 lots on a real account than use there demo
it sucks ass that bad

but i assure you there real account is ok

spreads widen on holidays, sometimes double
but most of the time the spread stays 9 pips

even during news, right before n shortly after, its 9 pips

during the news when spread does widen, prioce is moving to fast to do anything anyway

well theres my opinion

like i said, ibfx is all iv ever had
so i have nothing to compare to

Talking about tester : I also have the error 131 each time the balance is over 11000 (starting balance at 10000)
Definitely I should open a IBFX ....

Yes but what is surprising is that it performs verry well from 10.000 to 11.000 (need 1 week on all the periods I tested to catch 1000 bucks...) but then when the balance is over 11000 I have this error 131, that i don't understand cause lot size doesn't change upon balance...
  • #1,180
  • Mar 22, 2008 5:34pm Mar 22, 2008 5:34pm
it is changing to a invalid size

ok lets say its starting at 0.1, then it advances to 0.11
but ur broker dont allow that, u need 0.2
