  Have you been regularly optimising … at least once per day?

  if you have to optimize a strategy everyday it’s not an automatic strategy… 😉

  Thanks GraHal, your are very persistent in trying! There are a few with nice results though! The idea you had is good with the hourly box. Maybe you could post itf file?

  If you had an hourly strategy and you optimised after 14 years (8,600 1 hour bars) you would not think that was unusual?

  There is 8,400 1 second bars in 24 hours … 1 second strategies are high maintenance, but still loads less time at the screen than manual trading?

  I’ve not a got a problem with optimising every day … if  the Strategy makes me money.

  no need to optimise if using the heuristics engine. Downside is that what you see in the backtest is not the same as the results live because different parameters @ different times, which is an aspect I don’t like. Parameters in a very small range would be preferred I guess. I’ve made a switch so it’s possible to select none, one or two engines. 3 is too much for me. Haven’t run them properly live yet.

  I think my 2 Renko’s that made profit were with Heuristics … I’ll post the .itf’s later.

  The killer is the spread … that is why I stopped them … when spread was huge!

  Back to 4 now I see on DJI, maybe at 14:30 the DJI spread will go to 3 … old spread was 1.6 at 14:30 UK time.

  A few points makes all the difference on scalpers!

  I think machine learning could be the game changer in these kind of strategies. But we have to be focused on not taking too much loss while the heuristic starts his work after the first few trades.

  Hourly didn’t work too good for me either. My demo forward testing has gone ok and I have only optimised once. When I optimise daily I get worse results atm. Have now launched this version in live.

  I would be very interested in trying a heuretics version, will look into that.

  Do you mean Real Live or Demo Live?

  What is your Lot size and Contract size please?

  I am running that same System on Lot size = 1 and $2 contract and my Average Gain is about 1/10 of yours ($2.60 vs your $26).

  PS

  for anybody wanting the .itf … it is No 60 on the Attachment List.

  Did you make any changes to the file on the Attachment List @eckaw?

  Maybe I won’t put it on S10 TF … attached is 100k bars on 10 second TF  … how come mine is losing big style in backtest and yours is winning in ProOrder??

  How is yours doing since very early yesterday?
