Hi Dave! I tried M15 timeframe, MACD and RSI optimalization and I got this error message. What do you think is the problem? Thank you! {image} {file}
The problem is your data format. You are not using the data from Post #1. Preview that data in a text editor to see the correct format. If you look closely at your time frame string, you have 06:-01. It should be 06:01

I'm trying EurUsd lot 0.1 short ema 5 long ema 50 time frame 60 sl 30 tp 80 and following take profit results are nice... Thanks for sharing Dave this is a wonderful gift file.set Strategy tester.gif {file} {image}
Thank you for posting your results. Could you kindly upload in zip format as windows can read that format natively but rar needs external programs such as WinRAR or 7zip.

I urge you to review the money management enhancements such as StopLossMultiple, TakeProfitMultiple, SetStopLossToBreakEven and MinPipGain as you will have vastly improved results. In particular read Post #527.

Dear Dave,

Thank you very much!

karolis is correct. Strategies such as the one you describe will not stand the test of time. Whenever you get a promising strategy, you need to carry out OOS (Out of sample) back testing and also some forward testing as a verification.

I am not aware of any problems at this stage. You need to be much more specific. It is not possible to get the same result with both a single and combined filter. You need to sent me your set file at the very least so that I can check your settings. It is most probable that you did not enable one of your strategies. It is not helpful to anybody when you make such a general post and do not provide any information.

Please be really careful when you post. I have repeatedly updated the quick start help guide to reflect what is currently enabled. None of those items are currently enabled.

I have just updated Strategy Optimizer. The download link is here.

The changes are summarized below.

Easy Mode option has now been added to simplify input. Strategies can be selected from a single TAB. All options within that strategy will be selected so be careful that you don't create too many options for optimization.

Smart file names are enabled when saving set files.

At this stage only the first 16 tabs (up to and including Pivots) in the Strategies and Filters are operational however any of those can be combined.

A beta version of Strategy Optimizer is now available for download from here. Please use the 2015 data file download from the middle of Post #1 which I updated this morning. A PDF Quick Start file is included in the zip. One more screen enclosed. PM me if you have problems. Post if you have feedback. {image}

Don' waste your time.. Your settings ant this EA will loose money. Here is better and longer (2014.01.01-2015.04.13) back test with your attached set file. I think your set file is optimized just for this year (2015.01.01-2015.04.13). If you want to make it work, find settings that will worked before 5 years and until now.. Even it here is settings for this year, they are bad..
