Discussion of article "Practical evaluation of the adaptive market following method" - page 2

 

Great article, thank you very much.

I wanted to try your Expert Advisor, downloaded the files, copied them to the appropriate folder, compiled them.

However, when testing, the EA does not work, backtest is empty, deposit without movement, tried to include parameters.

Can you please show me how to install and run it correctly?

Good day,
No errors during compilation?
 
Dmitriy Gizlyk:

Thanks for the compliment, Konstantin.
I will think over your suggestion to make an indicator.
Regards,
Dmitry.


Good day, Dmitry!

I also decided to try what this beast is

Compilation without errors

Deals do not open. No matter with your parameters, no matter how. No errors. The log is empty.

Optimisation and visual mode are also idle.

What is the size of the history in the terminal?
 
Dmitriy Gizlyk:
What is the history size in your terminal.

The article is good, but most likely for someone who studied physics without going beyond high school will be a bit heavy. I studied physics a bit more broadly and was engaged (though very long ago) in this issue and I had to update some knowledge. It really could have been a bit simpler. It's basically an ordinary music equaliser. It is clear and short. Even the trading rules are described in a simpler way by the author of the method. Thanks for Spectrum.mqh and FLF.mqh. I was going to write them myself. You made my life much easier. But I will have to modify them (for my needs).

 
Did it work at all for anyone? It won't open trades!
 
Yury Kirillov:
Did it work at all for anyone? It's not opening trades!

Yuri, it's even good that it doesn't open. I never cease to repeat - analysis of ANY current characteristics without taking into account historical data (do not confuse with the current sample from the general population, many people think that if they analyse some sample they already analyse history - is not it? - No, not so), namely averaged historical coefficients and parameters - the way to nowhere. I even thought about it - it seems that most of those who write these articles have a very vague idea about the nature of the processes taking place, and not only at Forex. Once again - people analysing some ridiculous figures and looking for coincidences with current trends - paradoxical as it may sound - are much closer to the truth than these articles.

I don't even know - you may not believe me, but approach any person connected with theoretical physics and in 5 minutes he will tell you everything about the nature of processes at Forex and in another 5 minutes he will say - ok, young man, here is literature for you - read it, but I don't have time. Such are real physicists - they never chase money. That's it! It can't be otherwise.

For the Expert Advisor to work, it is necessary to have sufficient history. If the history on the chart is less than specified in the parameter for analysis, the Expert Advisor will simply wait for the accumulation of enough historical data.

In this case, you are analysing historical data over a selected time period, not a sample of data. The difference between a sample and historical data is that not all data is taken, but only chaotically selected data from the total data set.

If you see specific errors in the article, please point them out. I am open to discussion.
