Backtesting with 99 percent modelling guide

 

I always say that backtesting is useless....well.... not any more!!!

Files:
 

The MT4 strategy tester reads tick data from files in the tester\history folder of the format AAABBBnn_0.fxt, where AAABBB is the currency pair, nn is the timeframe, and 0 means that the file was created using fractal interpolation. This 0 = fractal interpolation code is only correct if you generated it by checking "recalculate" in the strategy tester window. If you created it from your own tick data then it contains real tick data, and you should backtest using "recalculate" unchecked.

 

Have you figured it out?

It is great to look at some "god" EAs that have showed great results

on 90% quality backtests droping down to extremely bad EAs on 99% quality tests!!!
