    I don’t even recognise that Import screen you are using.

    Also are you sure you are not trying to import an Auto-System as an Indicator/

    Have you ever imported an Auto-System successfully? Does the way you do it ever work??

    Are you doing it as attached via the Indicators and Trading Systems Window having clicked on the right hand side – Backtesting and Trading Systems??

    The latest version has not executed any orders this week – is that correct?

    Yes correct for V6-1  @Gubben

    I’ve not got V6-2 running yet.

    Just trying to get my head around the code and I noticed one odd thing. The section of code that sets the value of CD:

    for i=0 to 6 do
    if coeff[i]=100 then
    CD=1
    break
    else
    CD=0
    endif
    next

    is quite late in the code and yet the condition CD is used in the first set of buy conditions. Surely this CD calculating code would be better placed before that possible first buy order otherwise you have to wait for one bar before those conditions can be met. Not a big thing on a five minute chart and maybe it is intentional?

    @ Grahal

    yes, this way, as usual 🙂

    When i create a new code, it works, just the import does not work…. I ran the apple catalina update; Maybe a reason?

    Before finding a solution, could you be kind enough to post the entire code of the lastest fifi version (code and indicator)? Many thanks 🙂

    Solved! I called Prt services; It was due to the Catalina update and security parameters….

    Having now sat down and looked through the Vectorial Dax (fifi743’s version) code what concerns me about this strategy is that there are hundreds of very different sets of exit conditions – I think I counted 96 for closing trades and then there are all the position reversal sets of conditions which I have not counted yet but probably about the same number. That makes me think that a set of exit conditions has been created specifically for every possible entry in the history tested – otherwise known as curve fitting! This would explain why the robustness test equity charts all looked very similar. If every trade can find its own pre-selected exit or reversal condition amongst the hundreds on offer then it will close or reverse as perfectly every time a test is run.

    I might be wrong but I think an awful lot of work has been put into creating the ultimate curve fit where every trade has its own almost perfect exit condition from amongst the hundreds available. Forward testing will let us know!

    Hi Vonasi,

    I understand your concern, in deed at first I thought like you. But, in 2 years the strategy did more than 760 operations and October is out of sample and its numbers are amazing. Lucky? Maybe but I consider very difficult to adapt more dan 90 rules for 760 operations during two years where 2018 was a year for shorts and 2019 a year for longs.

    I’m pretty sure that in future the results will be more weak than backtest but right now, October is been amazing and we need more time to know if this strategy is very solid or not.

    Sorry, I mean in 3 years, not 2.

    This is the entry that was not executed yesterday in demo. The one that is marked in red. Does anyone know why he did not run?

    Hello
    what is missing for it to work properly:
    holidays
    confirmation of orders to ensure that orders are well passed.
    I do not see how to do in one line stop, well it’s not my job.
    trading is like the weather, it’s never the same conditions

    Wacko thanked this post

    I am going to modify the line said by vonasi.
    we lack history.
    but the problem is that in the story it is missing candles

    Does anyone know why he did not run?

    You could check using Cursor Details on the 5 Min Chart if  Price was close, but not close enough to be triggered allowing for spread being different in real than you / we have set in Backtesting?

    Let us know what you find out please?

    Let us know what you find out please?

    From what I can see / determine … the Long Trade in backtest triggered at 12917.3, but in Real Live the Price for a 10 second bar at 08:40 (UTC + 0:00) did not get above 12917 as a high (see attached).

    Why a Trade did not trigger on a subsequent candle I do not know. The Long trade at 08:40 in backtest was a reversal from a Short so maybe the Trade had to be  a reversal or nothing??

    (I did above without thinking / very quick (out of curiosity) so it would stand a closer look (by anybody) if we think it is important enough??  Any comments on the method welcome?  We may all learn something?? 🙂 )
