Optimization

CodersGuru:

Someone posted on the forex factory forum a link to two of your .pdf's on backtesting/modeling quality. In the last sentence of .pdf #2, you wrote:

"In the coming part of this article we will start our testing and you will the maximum of MST after the long path of settings we have walked."

Will you post the file(s) with instructions on how to do optimization?

Hey Guys,

All I want to do is take these 2 indicators & make an EA out of them. It cant be that hard, can it?

You'd be surprised. This indicator can't possibly give you a reliable signal because it is using high/low. I suggest you forget about the zigzag indicator.

Hi bigbear3391,

As I know the coders are coding for free if:

- it is interesting for them personally;

or

- it is interesting for many members of the forum.

Why?

If coder is coding something for free just for you only so this coder will have 'good job, thanks' message just from you only. If the coder is coding for free to the public for many members (if it is interesting for many members) so the coder will have this 'good job, thanks' message from many members.

Your possible EA based on 2 zigzag indicators are not simple case to do. It is not for one day coding and it is necessary to test it, improve it ater testing, may be - forward test. So, it is the project for separated thread.

Because no one wants to create bad EA. What do I mean? I mean that if coder will code this EA for you and post on the forum, and if this EA is having bad performance so people will speak about bad coder. They will not speak about bad idea. They will say: "this coder is bad because he coded EA with bad performance". And no one coder wants to be a bad coder.

If your system is not very simple to code so it is the better to create separate thread about it, post the images with indicators, made some few trades just to let the members know that your system is good. If many members will visit your thread so you will definitely have 1 or 2 coders who will be happy to code iit for free.

Sorry, I am not a coder.
