Hi Kelly running control points on same period is completely different this you could call growth.
Maybe you should try and mimic its behaviour.
hi, Ruptor
i believe your report and my report in the same broker shall be the same ~~
have u download 5 minutes data, everytime when u close the chart, or close mt4, it will save the bar data to .hst ~ ~
And u can judge the hst file's integrity after the test by the Mismatched charts errors
how many Mismatched charts errors do your testing have?
attached sth, i don't know whether it is useful for u

I remember i test on IBFX before, and the result of Alpari (RU) is better than IBFX
but please reember to set the broker_GMT to be 0 when testing IBFX

My results seem ok on IBFX and I have set GMT=0. Here is report on Alpari using control points.
Here is Alpari every tick run. You need to make it run like control points to be a good EA.
Hi, Ruptor

do u know when backtesting, mt4 haven't record the historical ask price?
the ask price only is the recorded bid + live trading spread which in the time you are testing
u may run on live at a demo also
Thanks for provide opinion
Hi Kelly
All the Alpari tests are on a live account back test. For some reason the I messed up the posting of the html report and they are on a different computer at another location but I will post them to the gifs this afternoon. Here are more Alpari tests of control points and every tick respectively with reports hopefully.
You can see the graphs are of a similar shape but on every tick it does more trades and loses more so it would be a good idea to improve the entry condition.
Won't take report files so I zipped them up. A bit strange that an MT4 site won't let you attach MT4 reports.
Hey Kelly
What's your take on my results then or have you gone back to the drawing board?

hi, Ruptor
yes, i have say
" if u want to have quicker backtest speed, please select "Control points" for the Model, as it is not big difference with using EveryTick Mode, but the Speed improve a lot"
at previous post~
maybe i will test it on the weekend, and tell u how differnet between Control Point and Every tick
The name of my EA "Steady Growth" just express it's target, but no the result !

the actual result on live account
Oh! I see perhaps you mean steady growth of debt.
by the way, i don't know why i can't edit the post which in page 1 now, i also want to change the backtest result in my attachment of first post, which using your backtest report !
maybe it reach the maximum time of editing
Yes that's what a thread is all about the latest information is at the end not the start.
also i have send a message to u, and i don't know why I have 640 mismatched chart error of it ~ ~
No message received here. I did tests on a live Alpari account so the history data is better quality hence only mismatches occur at start.
Hey Kelly
What's your take on my results then or have you gone back to the drawing board?
your result just run for (2009.06.01 - 2009.07.16)
the period is too short to test a EA performance, please test it for longer period ~ ~
by the way, do u know how to remove the mismatched charts error?
better use quotes of Alpari-RU = Alpari-RU, they provide their own quotes at history Centre(press F2 in MT4)
MetaQuotes price not follow tight with market/ alpari.
for price not follow tight, e.g. when alpari move 8pips, it move 4pips only ~ ~
