Question PeakTrough EA - Only 1% DD!

Good! Share your .set file, please.

 

nice post to you guys

 

SeizeThe Day, attach your ".set" file to this BT results.

 

Still optimizing...

We need to combine this with a good trustable tick scalper.
I'm testing banana pips currently. If two of these comes together nobody can hold us!

 

Think BIGGER !! H4 EU;

pRoFiT fAcToR : 11

 

I tried this set but no open orders. Are you sure that is the same set as the post 183? Post the complete report: StategyTester.html

 

Celooo lower the proposional risk 300-->75
Probably you are using leverage 1:100

Oh sorry it was M15 set file, wrong setfile.

 

using 1:400....

Seize, could you attach the full HTM report please? It will make all simple... the full report shows all importante settings: symbol, period of the test, timeframe, graphic, parameters, ea version...

 

Here you go buddy;

i'm still changing the parameters to find better but this could give you a head start. Better profit factor than before...

 

Thanks.

Now I think I found the "problem"... period of test, modeling quality and spread... i'm testing with 5 year dukascopy database, 99,90% modeling quality... you are testing with 5 months only... in previous periods the results are not so good as shown.

 

Yes but market behavior changed a lot during this 5 years of period.
Even using ECN account user number is dramatically changed. Test must began in 2014 not before i think. Dont get frustrade. We built something good my friend.

 

Almost same period are you testing... same parameters... but look the bars in test, 30k... yours 2k... and look the results.

 

Turn on break even. 3 ; 1.

You are testing with 1.2 pips spread! With 1.2 pip spread you can not use this strategy.
Must use ecn raw spread acc. type. Ic markets, tickmill etc...

 

Spread is 12 points = 1.2 pips

 

Do you use standart acc. type or ecn acc. type?

 

My REAL = ECN... 0.7 spread EU for example. Just use 1.2 in Strategy Tester to compensate the oscillations... I always run BTs with wider spread. For tester I use Tickstory with Dukascopy 99.90% database.

 

0.7 pips average spread for eu is extremly high. May i suggest u to change your broker?

0.7 pip spread+average 0.2 pip slippage+0.7 pips commission = your trade for 1 lot = 1.6 pip extremely high.

It must be something like this: 0.2 spread+0.2 max slip+0.7 pip commission = 1.1 pip - 0.35 pip commission rebate = 0.7 pip.

You can not take spread as 1.2 pip for test in EU. It is not a good idea.

 

very good reason SeizeTheDay
what broker do you use SeizeTheDay ?

 

my total costs for trade are only spread+ slippage... no comission.
