Problems with Strategy Tester and Cloud
I have been using my 3 local computers to run as many agent as possible. Has been working fine for a long time. It stilltakes a long time running for a multicurrency EA optimizing one pair at the time.
I decided to try the cloud. Works fine most of the time and it is a time saver. I have however experienced the following problem twice.
On the top of the list there are several rows with exactly the same extremely good profit/drawdown/number of trades values for completely different input parameters. If I stop the optimization and run a single test on these excellent results they are mostly bad.
So the top ten results with exactly the same results are in reality garbage. I have never experienced this on hundreds of runs on my local computers but now It has happened twice on 2 differen pairs running cloud.
Seems that there iare a bad agent(s) out there since I still also get valid results.
On this second instance all theses "top" results actually where total zero when running a single run
