    I thought it didn’t work because when you start a new algo you have to fill in risk management “Max position size” and there you can not fill in 0.5 contract.

    Good day All

    Thanks everyone for the contributions.. I want to know which version should i use? I am not good at the coding part so its a bit confusing? I am trying to back test it but

    it doesnt want to work. Can anyone help me with an updated code?

    Thank you

    See Paul’s version 5 posted on page 12 (post #103373). Double-check your time zone

    Thanks Juan

    I want to test it but keeps telling me Backtest exceeds limit of repetitions. I change it to 5 but still it just changes back to 6. If i change it to 4 I get bad results. Can you please explain to me how to change it to test it properly please.

     

    Thank you

    Open the Variable Optimization window (top left of code window). Select walk forward test, change the repetitions to 5 and then select Inactive again to disable walk-forward. You can then rather use the standard optimization if you are looking to optimize for best backtest results. But be warned this will result in curve fitting

    Paul

    Thought of one thing.

    Is it possible to get the algo a little more active by letting it try to take a new position after a position is closed?

    In that way, maybe it can take 2-3 positions a day?

    Or maybe it already does?

    #105078

    @Stefanb, it does that already. Just look at the closed positions list.

    It is depended on the reset counter and the values you use for position criteria and how sharp/lose you set your exit criteria.

    Ok, thanks Paul 🙂

    I am also getting “Your ProBackTest exceeds the limit of repetitions for walk forward optimization”. It works if i put 4 instead of 6. If I put 5 it just changes back to 6 and error again.

    Does it effect the trading system in any way having 4 instead of 6? In a negative way?

    Hello

     

    Here are the results from vectorial DAXM5 and US500 M5 mixed together

    The results are pretty good and it s my real trading account.

    A question: When should we stop with an automated strategy that is winning well and then begins to loose in the future?

    At which moment? When the dradwown exceeds the backtested drawndown?? When the win percentage goes below the backtested win percentage?

     

    Thanks in advance

    1st week :

    no trades  last week

    @vince_laur No action indeed. It’s curve-fitted with the trading times. Have a test if you set usetimecriteria to 0 and perhaps adjust the starttime.

    No … for trading / Live Forward Testing .
    Yes … for Walk Forward Backtesting (but not necessarily in a negative way).

    Leave it set at 4 until you find out more about Walk Forward Backtesting and want to use it.

    thx Paul, but ratio W/L is better with usetimecriteria set to 1  :

    3,79 vs 2.32

    (based upon 200k backtest)

    so, i prefer not to modify usetimecriteria.

     

    thx anyway
