After we have an optimized result in the new Agility Trader in what time distance has been tested? I like to run the test result of Agility Trader on my Mt4 tester, but I need to know the from-to time data. Where could I see this date?
From Dave's post:

"The automatic data (tick data) sourced will be updated monthly and will always revert to the previous 3 months from the end of the last month.

For all users to note, and this needs to be emphasized, all stop loss loss calculations occur before take profit calculations so trying to line up with MT4 is not possible as no guessing is made, and you have the most pessimistic calculation."

EDIT Sorry Dave crossed post

I am in the process of uploading all 2016 data so processing of trades will take place in the current scenario from the 1st of April and any lookback period will revert to the previous month(s). Custom date selection with online data will then revert back to Jan 1st 2016.

Hi Dave,

that is an astonishing approach you have presented here.

Read,Write are custom options? How can I become a customer?
Custom optimization is grayed out. Is it alsob a paid version only option?

Best, Thomas

If you upgrade the current version (at Post #1) by clicking on the "Enable Read/Write" on the Read/Write inputs tab of the companion program, the custom options will be made available on the new version (including the new beta).

The new Version2 link will also be on the download page.

Enclosed is another video on Agility Trader 2 where I discuss creating, backtesting and optimizing Strategies.

Don't forget the pause and rewind buttons. The latest beta version of the exe file is enclosed. Refer to Post #812 if you are a first time downloader.
(Upgraders of the Agility Trader1 companion will need to download from the link advised by email yesterday or your original download page).

Hi Dave

Just to be sure l did ok...took the new AT2 exe...pasted it into my previous AT2 folder in my document...replaced the old one...
When l clicked on it...New AT2's program was intalled...when done... window came with API soft and text file checked...kept txt file checked (and read it) and uncheck API soft because l had it already...So far it seems to work...presume l am right....Just want to be 100% sure...

One question: when we change currency into companion we do not need to change it on MT4 l think...If l am right we need only 1 currency with Api on it openned on MT4 ? Doesn't matter the currency...am l right?
Is AT original will continue to work as l use it for demo testing until l get better with AT2?
Feel like christmas time when l was kid Same as l do not understand yet all possibilities in using it...
Thanks

Hello Ben

Please download again. I had to make a small change for new users due to a problem with the registration code. The unzipped file is the complete installation and it would have overwritten the beta version.

It does not interfere with Version1 and the ex4 is AgilityTrader2.ex4. The significant changes are the 5 User indicator slots and allowance for decimal inputs on all parameters.

The exe file is the installation file. Just let it run, but you do not need to install the msi file again.

I just discovered that the sample RSI set file was corrupted (download at Post #1 is now corrected) so I have included an updated set file below (along with 2 WMA sample set files).

I've just placed an update at Post #1 to correct reversal of SL and TP on chart trading.

The affected exe file is enclosed below in zip format. It needs to be placed into \Program Files (x86)\AgilityTrader2\ for 64 bit systems or \Program Files\AgilityTrader2\ for 32 bit systems.

With the new version, just a reminder that existing set files using User Indicators will need to be reconstructed. The changes are related to removal of unnecessary inputs in the indicator file. An example of the changes is included in your User Indicators sub directory and a sample set file is in your Set Files sub directory. Also refer to the section at the end of the PDF help file on user indicators.

For those of you who are using Non Lag Dot calculations, I would encourage you to look at WMA as the differences are very minor. I have included a chart with both indicators plotted. WMA 9 is almost identical NLD 20.

WMA can be backtested and optimized in the companion whereas set files containing User Indicators will need to be backtested and optimized within MT4

I have also included an update to correct an error in calculation of shifted values and the saving of set files in the upgrade.

Just a reminder for users of the upgrade, data is available from the beginning of the year.

Just click on Custom Data in the Backtesting/Optimization Tab, cancel the Local data file selection, and change the start date to 1st Jan 2016. All backtesting and optimizations will now be from 1st Jan rather than just the last 3 months.
