edit : new topic from https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/why-is-backtesting-so-unreliable/ According to IG Status Page … all trading platforms are now sorted!! See attached. This Renko code is the only code I am still getting Rejects / Stoppages on (up to now anyway!?). Only major difference I can see between this System and my others is the use of While, Wend? Maybe While. Wend has recently become a non-approved term anymore?? @Nonetheless would it be easy for you to re-code without While, Wend? I know the code is a DocTrading code so maybe it not easy for you either? If one of our coding wizards might be able to help it would be much appreciated? Below is the code of the System that is showing +£1.8K profit since October (see attached). //------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Main code : Nneless Renko DJI 1M v1 //------------------------------------------------------------------------- //https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/why-is-backtesting-so-unreliable/#post-110889 // Definition of code parameters DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated // The system will cancel all pending orders and close all positions at 0:00.

Good evening,

There are two trailing stops so there must be different variables.

example :

trailingstoptype=1

newsl1

trailingstoptype=2

newsl2

Normally yes, but the idea is that only one trailing stop type is activated and used.

In that case both variables can be the same I think.

It’s game on!

better or worse?

atrtrail=averagetruerange[atrtrailingperiod]((close/1)*pipsize)

1

atrtrail=averagetruerange[atrtrailingperiod]((close/1)*pipsize)

maybe no trailingstop, just a profittarget ?

Yeah … whatever brings the most consistent profits at least drawdown?

As far as a scalper goes (which this is) it is more normal to get in and get out asap?

Also I note a little peak on the equity curve for nearly all the trades … which if some of these MFE’s could be captured as profit so much the better?

@Grahal changed the boxsize to 10 but no position opened in the backtest. On which itf are you working on?

Nothing to do, probably because i’m working on a different itf?

Sorry i don’t want to bore you. I can test in on 200k also.
