Backtesting/Optimization - page 2

 

The only way to be closer to 100% accurate in strategy test, would be if all candle movement history were able to be tested as it had actually took place in real time, tracking every up and down movement in the way it actually happened.

As we know two indentical candles can take completely different paths. High Lows Close and Open can look the very same, but have different paths.

 

Really weird thing noticed today. Two exact same EA's, (changed only extern string Name_Expert on one) and both gave completely different results. One big wins, other big losses. Now I certainly question the strategy tester on it's accuracy!!!

 

Working with MT4 build 188 now, I get very different results in Strategy Tester than in Build 186.

Can anyone confirm this?

 

We cannot trust Strategy Tester in Build 188:

Try the EA I posted here to see how unreliable a strategy tester can be.
