here are 2 backtests of this ea with 1.0pip or 2.0pip spread risk is the same.
Testing periode; dec 2013 to jan 2014 EUR/USD

So my first question for the experienced EA trader is there a known faktor of the usuall slippage to be expected?
I will use 1% initial Risk in the first month as i cannot predict the spread behavior.


The 2pip spread finishes with a loss BUT it still build higher lows and higher highs in the balance during each tested period until now.

Would you give that EA a chance to PROFIT in real envirnoment?

here is another brainfood:

for the scalpers
same EA same parametres, just adusted higher risk with different spread

Live and backtesting result are not the same due to some factors below.
1. Variable or fixed spread
2. Broker speed/latency price execution - Open or close position with slightly delay
3. Broker unique function - Some broker will find the current best price to entry
4. Backtest model - 90% modeling quality is not better than 99%, since former is using 1M bar and latter is using tick bar.
5. Swap, commission/ overnight charge - Which can minus your profit.

So in my opinion, backtest cannot prove if this EA works in long term wise, so backtest and LIVE result cannot be 100% similar. If assume that both have minor difference value or highly similar result, which will eventually contribute to massive different amount in future. However, forward test is another saying.

Just my 2cents. Thanks

agree, EA stopped on the real account for improvements...

Is your EA a scalping system ? I believe it is according to your LIVE account here. If does, then backtesting and Live result are totally cannot be same. If this is long term trading, then backtesting result can be trusted. Scalping required high precision price, and concern many minor factors as mentioned in earlier post. Long term trading doesn't involve more on these, it capture big enough range/distant/TP, which can assume that these factors nearly no influences/zero.

If your EA can generate net profit in one week in Live account, for market movement ranging, trending and whatever pattern, then i can say your EA is good and have consistent return. If the EA take more week to generate profit, then it is something wrong, because it totally cannot capture the price movement precisely. What i am saying is scalping EA.

Long term trading EA is another saying. This takes more week, maybe 3 month LIVE account enough to prove it works. Because market need trending movement, and which i believe most system does work, and it depend on trade management system.

I am personally looking for a scalping system as mentioned in second sentence above. I have tried, forward test and backtest many systems, but it is hard to have high accurate winning rate of entry-exit system or RR is too bad. I do have my own trade management system which could generate 100% earning in long term case, but it cannot be applied in short term TP.

Well. Maybe the day will come to me.
Thanks.

it is a "scalping" but i only use Candlerange and Trailing stop, last weeks result wasn´t good i desided to stop the robot.

now i´m actually coding my own robot, but i´m still a beginner in coding....

NO Grid!

3.0 pip spread one year, high risk.

It is my first EA, i try this one on my Real account next week but with reduced lot size to 0.05 or 0.01.

was coding over the weekend...

new bot has a Spread restriction, no position is taken above the maximum spread. It cannot prevent slippage or reqoutes but it should
optimize entries and prevent entries during news events.

TF is 1min internal indicator works MTF, restriction for entries is very tight but winning rate is high. Will losen the entryrules a bit in the next days.

DD demends on Risk...

unfortunately modeling quality is very low, try to reload the history i was an 90% a few days ago?!?

Hi! I can help you backtest with tick data, 99% modelling. Anyway, backtest with the setting of LIVE broker (Leverage,pip per cost and etc are based on LIVE value) and 99% modelling is the highly trust result.
Please let me know.

Here is one of my sample backtest.

Thank you very much, have deleted and reloaded my history now back at 90%, it is enough for the moment.
But no difference in outcome...

Now testing the xxxxxxVersion of my Bot and i think the actual one is THE ONE for me, based on 15min TF to catch bigger swings.

nearly done!
have to make a few adjustments to mm, slightly reduction of risk in correlation with the growing balance to reduce the DD a bit.

Backtest was done with 0.5% initial risk per trade max. of 5 trades allowed.

i need some alcohol now *ggggrrrr*

Ok thodie, I will bye a round........hope you do not mind, I brought some friends over too.....

hi pipa,
you are always welcome, and of course your friends too

how are you, everything fine?

^^
pipa i have a headache...

nevertheless life testing activated, as i think testing on demo isn´t real enough, Backtests on each EA are promising, compounding shortterm and longterm EAs
should give a limited DD but we´ll see.

Made a few adjustments:

+ MM, the position size is now calculated on account equity, not balance.
+ loosen the entry conditions a bit, the robot trades ~30% more.

Hey....buddy.....whats up?
