Geoff, I tested v8 and got 2 s/l in April with t/p 24 and t/p2 47. So i changed the setting back to t/p 22 and t/p2 50. The nasty s/l in April is gone but the performance in backtesting is still below the one of v7a. Tested this on Alpari uk live. Do you have a hint?
cheers and very good early morning to you!
I have just checked v8 on my Alpari demo account and I get
exactly the same results as v7a, spread < 2.

Hi Roman
I have just checked v8 on my Alpari demo account and I get
exactly the same results as v7a, spread < 2.
I testrun it twice during early Asian trade and before London...same outcome....I tested it on Alpari uk live
Do you have any clue where my mistake could have been? You know, usually we get the same results, this is the first time that we have a difference.....

I can't imagine what could be wrong, maybe you could try closing

Only 70 trades, I get 180 trades!
my Alpari UK backtesting result is flawless...
start from 04 Jan 2010 - today, all by default setting, with spread around 2.
but get only 72 trades, and All win.
It's amazing...

Can the difference be between demo and live?
You know I only test on UK Alpari classic live....but never had that difference
My results are always for 12 months!

and here is my backtest...
What I am trying to point out to Haishang is that on a full 12 month test
that I did there wer 180 trades, his test only had 70 trades which kind of
points to him doing a similar test to yours i.e. 4 months.
Hope this makes sense!

ahhh....ok there we go..solved...so over the last 12 months v8 is superior to v7a but if tested from January onwards v7a got the better results....point taken.....you agree?
expected because there is no difference between the two in the way that
the orders are generated.
