07/22/2018 at 1:21 PM #76455Little confused as to how your best trade is >1000 when TP is 50p which at 10 times is 500 . What am i missing ?Thanx @Brisvagas for your good suggestions. I wil definitely try to implicate them
about the big winner, i’ve notices the same
but it doesn’t show at my latest backtest.
since the strategy can go overnight could it be positive slippage???
OK thats a possibility and potentially an issue that needs addressing for as we know that slippage works both ways and whilst im guessing here id suggest the tail to the downside is larger than the upside . Actually thats something worth quantifying for future reference .

And here is a couple account killing tails in last 2 years fwiw . The tails are the worst case scenarios , dont get caught by them

You mean like with a lot size of 10!? 🙂
I always use lot size = 1 … easier to make comparisons. Also I’d rather have 10 Systems running in Live with lot size = 1 than 1 System in Live with Lot size = 10.
With lot size = 1 the tails would not be as stressful or account killing and often soon recover back to where they were?
Also a low TF of 1 Min (as we are using here) may have you out and then maybe take advantage of the tail even?? 🙂

As far as i know the only solution against slippage is to go flat before close and with a lot size of 10 on an account of 10.000 that is the safest way to go!

07/22/2018 at 8:04 PM #7648607/22/2018 at 8:10 PM #76488Ah so no even trades then … well weird!
So what version Demo are you guys showing under Help, About??
Maybe the even trades are just a UK thing??
07/22/2018 at 8:13 PM #7648907/22/2018 at 8:36 PM #76492You can see my version in the attached pic…
Oh yeah sorry! 🙂
Same version as mine, it gets even weirder!!?? 🙂
07/23/2018 at 8:00 AM #7649707/23/2018 at 4:00 PM #76527The problem with some systems such as this are no entries in strong uptrends where retraces are shallow . On the other side you get a lot of entries on downtrends due to opposite , maybe a trend and momentum filter will help . Will have a shot at this over the next day or so . Finding areas where an algo doesnt perform is the key to improving . The equity curve to trend relationship reveals a lot . There is probably room to run 2 algos at once to solve some of the problems preseneted by this system .
Maybe take the standard entry in shallow trends and possibly relax the entry standards in a high momentum uptrend . Turn of system in steep downtrends . Im guessing you will get less trades at a higher WR making for a way smoother curve and potential for slightly larger trade size . A smoother curve makes way for a dynamic position sizing to get that more J curve thing going . Just a couple ideas fwiw
Hi Bris,
Are we not leaving ourselves open to overfitting by filtering the signal efficacy vs equity curve?
Thanks.
07/24/2018 at 9:46 AM #7657907/24/2018 at 10:20 AM #76585Mmm yes I can see what you mean, 2 trades in Demo Backtest (since 22 Jul 18) but none in Demo Fwd Test.
I thought Multi-TF is available for Fwd Test also surely?? If it wasn’t then I would expect the System to be rejected due to code that could not be read etc??
Anybody any thoughts / knowledge??
I’ll ask on the Platform Forum.
07/27/2018 at 2:09 PM #76890why every comment of brisvegas got reported? 😀
