    fx pair went crazy high on spreads

    At what time and to what value?

    Please can you optimise the Brick Size and  trailingstoptype over 200k and post the values on here.

    #122678

    Around 10:45 PM Italian Time, EURUSD went up to 5/6 spread pts.

    And as i said, also others fx pairs went up, but i don’t remember the exact spread.

    In the attachments the optimization you asked for. A1 is the trailingstoptype and A1 is the boxsize.

    Better still if you comment out the Flat before / after … images 3 and 4.

    This was a flawed judgement on my part, apologies!

    Yes the results were better but probably only because I had a fixed spread = 1 in the backtester!

    As pointed out by Francesco, the spread on eurusd went to > 5 at 9:45 ish (UK Time).

    I hadn’t researched overnight spreads as I’ve not used eurusd for quite a while … my enthusiasm blinded me! 🙂

    Little 200k backtest of the previous days where it was not possible to test in demo due to the spreads. (Last Paul’s Version with renko=3 and boxsize=20)

    Positionsize=0.2

    #122827

    @Francesco I haven’t looked yet. on eurusd, but for the dji it seems, although nice, a small stoploss doesn’t work.

    #122829

    I agree Paul, until spread goes back to 2.4 / 1.6 on the DJI the Renko is a dead duck unless we can get average gain per trade well above current spread = 11.6 / 6.6.

    I note though that spreads overall are heading back down … maybe next week we will see less madness and more like normal trading?

    #122853

    @Grahal of course at these actual spreads is a madness work and run on dow 1 sec renko.

    I just did a 200k backtest for information with 2.4 spread since I suppose many of you have not run the strategy on live demo.

    #122858

    I just did a 200k backtest

    Yes it is very useful you doing 200k backtests for us all … thank you.

    Yeah I turned my 1 sec DJI off until better times.

    But with different settings or a tweaked strategy I think the 1 sec could live again … even on DJI?

    I think Paul may be working on a new version?

     

    #122859

    I think it’s not easy to work on these 1 sec strategies, because the backtest frame to work on is very short.

    For example: Paul’s last version in 200k last week made 4 consecutive profts days, while this week 4 consecutive losses.

    Putting myself in the shoes of an expert coder like paul, I wouldn’t know how to optimize the strategy not having a longer frame to observe. How can i know that my version in super profitable last 3 days but maybe 6 days ago was very bad?


    @nonetheless
    said to me that “Renko doesn’t have a time component to it, only price and direction”, but the problem is not that to better optimize the value of a strategy you must always know and work on more data as possible?

    #122864

    this week 4 consecutive losses
    to better optimize the value of a strategy you must always know and work on more data as possible?

    Yeah well my intention was / is to optimise every day! 🙂

    I guess it is a different way of thinking?

    Seconds in a day = 86,400 bars … so this is 86,400 green and red candles and mini up and down trends and flat periods etc?

    Scale that up to hourly bars and 86,400 bars = 14 years worth of trading days?? 🙂

    #122871

    With the results of the last week, one year would be enough 😀

    #122885

    a try to calculate the spread (& custom slippage) based on the open of the market order bar timebased.

     

    #122886

    and again

    Did you tested this “spread finder”? It would be appliable also on fx pairs?

    #122996

    yes i’am testing 10 sec with above & trendtrading.

    a pic of made yesterday and first one made just now.

    the spreadfix can’t be put on forex, even after changing spread values, just like the trailingstop isn’t suitable. It needs some changes.
