Phoenix 2007 (new thread) - page 53

 

Hendrick,

Can you explain why both backtesting below ended up with different result in backtesting compared to backtesting run by Fikko eventhough they are using same setting. It is due to the datasource or the Platform(Broker) itself.

uagadugu:
Hello , your backtesting is different with the same settings and period. My data and Metatreder are of Alpari broker.Look..
uagadugu:
Here is the backtesting with the same settings since january .. look this..
 

I suggest you to leave backtesting and focus on forward testing on demo account!

I am testing on demo account Phoenix 5.62 on several different timeframes and different modes (2 and 3). The only change I made is changing maximum risk = 0,25.

Computer will run 24/5, and I will post my results on Friday, 9PM GMT.

Stay tuned

I'd have to agree with that. I mean, backtesting is great, but now we have like bazillion people all doing backtesting. Testing on demo is the way to go now. I mean, demo is a totally different thing from real trading, but well, backtesting is even further from live %)

 
Diam0nd:
Good Lord... Hendrick! You are unbelivable! GREAT guide update

Thank you for all the efforts. I really do hope YOU are making lots of money from your EA. Well, or simply making good money in general

Again, many thanks for all the efforts and sharing your work with ordinary peoples

I second that! All of it.

 

Hendrik,

I have a question for you about the parameters adjustments.

In the backtest the system performs well this last six months but before that time (like 2 years ago) the results are not good.

In my opinion, that shows that the parameters need to be adjusted depending on the time.

What is your suggestion to adjust the parameters. Should we for instance optimize on the last 3 months and recalculate the parameters every month?

Do you think that if we optimize with the nearest period of time it will give values that are Ok for the next month?

Just a small comment about is written about forward testing on the previous posts. Of course forward testing is the best solution but to be valid it has to be done on a long period of time. 1 month for instance is in my opinion not enough. maybe 6 months is OK. And as we have new versions or new parameters pretty often it is difficult to test for a long time.

But at least we know that the championship version performs well after 5 weeks of forward testing !

 

Running Phoenix V5_6 since yesterday openning

My grand father used to say :

"there are two types of men : Princes and.. Rats... alway try to belong to the first category..."

Hendrick you DEFINITLY belong to the first one..."

 

Downloaded from Post #525 the Fix for Micro Accounts, it still does not work running it on Interbank & Velocity4x. Would appreciate it if Hendrick or someone else would Fix this EA, as it would be appreciated. Still opens lots at 0.10.

I'm running the P 5.6.02 EA as downloaded, no changes. I'm going to run the .02 version for awhile, then I will run the latest .03 version.

FXDD Demo.
