why would you only want H1 data when you are testing the M5 timeframe? you need M1 or tic data for accurate tests.

i bet your modeling quality is only 25% (hence the backtester is fooled and gives an unrealistic graph)

my M1 Alpari backtest (1/1/01-7/8/08, M5 timeframe, EURUSD):

that was sortof my thinking too. i have 1 min data and getting negative results. if anyone knows let me know. i want to help out if i can

Hi,

1- Why M5 ? : Because we check for each new bar. If you run on H1 you will only run the EA each hour and it will not work. Thats sure.

2- We run this EA on live accounts after we have good result backtesting on different MT4. ( Maybe the backtesting is wrong) But we have good result on these accounts.

So I do not understand why you have bad result.
Which spread do you have ?

Hi,

I do not understand why it is not working for you....
Try to run a optimize with

Hedge from 1-30 and gain from 1-30 and check if you get anything good. ( Advice from the coder)

If it only works with specific settings then clearly the EA needs some work. You aren't the first person to toss out an EA concept because of poor performance over time.

Hi,

We are not changing any settings. But as the market change we are able to change some settings.

We have try with 3 different MT4 backtesting and it works well.
So I do not understand why it is so bad for you.

How many have bad results ?

Can you backtest from 10-june-2008 and see which result you have ?

Why 10 june. Because I can show you a live statement that have good result from this date.

ill try it. i have been trading it on demo only since yesterday. and it is getting a few pips. im keeping it going!! hope it works out good. ill try to optomize and see what happens. so far made about 10 trades and all but 1 are positive!! so hope it keeps that up. just trying to figure out backtest. i know backtest doesn't mean all that much but want to see. thanks again for your ea and hard work!!

still not having any luck with backtest but not sure what paramenters go where in inputs. from june 10 it looks pretty good though. here is the chart i got

my main problem is this is the average gain is 8.66 and the average loss is 83.82 is you have very many losing trades in a row you could be in trouble. i so see that it only had 1 cosecutive loss. but the most consecutive wins was 33 for + 135.66 but the most consecutive losses was 1 for - 141.99 see the problem there? let me know if im doing something wrong. i like this ea i just want to help make it better. lets keep it up!!

Hi,

The version you test you do not need to change anything. Just run it

I have test during today with different MT4 can not recreate a bad result.

I think it is strange.....

The system will hedge out the your trades.
So normaly if it works normal the system will cleanup trades.

If you have a trade like -140 and (10 * 15) trades it will close all 11 trades.

So you should see this in your statement.

Can you send me all the statement ? So I can check if it works correctly

here it is in word format

Let me ask you this... why don't you use a risk value? this way you would compound your profits. You are just using .1 lots on each trade correct? If you would trade say 2% on each trade you should come up with greater profits. you can make this an input value so you can change your risk as you see fit. or will the hedge not work this way???

Hi,

I have a the feature to trade 2% of the account but not in this EA.
Maximun gain is not the goal but good result with "correct" risk.

Henrik E.

Steady Gain then.. lol how do my results compare with yours?

I sent the statement to the developper. He will check it
I will let you know.

We do not understand because we do not get same result....
Backtesting is not "perfect" ....

who knows
