Firebird EA - page 43

 
webjeff:
I have been trying to do backtesting to see how the results compare to your forward testing and they are WAY off. I know backtesting is unreliable, I understand that, but I would find it hard to believe its off by soo much.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, can someone please double check this and maybe backtest and see if I have the same results?

I am trying the Firebird v65 version, April 1st - April 7th.

Your forward results: 189 pips

My Backtest results: -93 pips (90% accuracy)

Again, I know backtesting isn't very good, but still, this seems like there's something else wrong. Anyone know what I may be doing wrong? I'm loading the Firebird v65 with the m30 settings file and of course running at 30min timeframe.

Thanks

Jeff.

Firebird v65 version was coded on open bar and on high/low of the bar (just mixed it). But you backtested on closed bar (every tick modeling ...). That is why it is different.

 

Firebird v0.65 basics

OK, I'm looking at the performance on the weekly winners and I'm watching Firebird v0.65 racking up the high score quite often.

If I wanted to run Firebird v0.65 myself I have two quick questions:

1) does it have any indicator dependencies that need to be in ~\experts\indicators for it to run?

2) what timeframe is it being run on in the weekly winner listing?

Thanks
