Trade resumed?

Yeah. This thing found the sets.

 
Anyway, it was just a flat feature....

And stop again?

Yeah, we can't take a chance.

 
I found the Article vague, with little concrete information, full of speculation and overfiting graph. Just my opinion, I do not want to disparage the author.
 

Author explains his workflow. It is not handed on a silver plate download and run EA article. Rightfully so. 

That said, if you study and follow breadcrumps author has left behind in various code publications the results can be replicated.

 

I don't remember well the history of development of the account frozen for the article. I see that the Expert Advisor with the very first settings has been running for several months.

Several sets were simply switched off in order not to load the machine (they worked on different charts). And the risks have been significantly reduced. So it is creeping much slower than at the start.


During this time combines based on MultiTester were created. Validate. OnTesterCustom. Combat Advisor, cross-platform and other small things have been rewritten.

In general, at the moment the original combat Expert Advisor is outdated and will be thrown out. Therefore, the monitoring for the article can be considered complete.


Accordingly, if trading resumes on this account, it will be on a more advanced version. The question is only in the settings.


I have not reread the article after all my efforts. But I think that the approaches in it can be relevant as basic, without describing further advancements.


ZЫ Unfortunately, the combat TCs I use are still not mathematically correct. There is no word about this type of TC in the article either.

How does it combine with this:

trader_number_one:
Trading resumed?
fxsaber:

Yes. This thing found the sets.

?

Did it mean these sets and not the original sets?

 
Andrey Khatimlianskii:

Were referring to these particular sets and not the original sets?

I specifically wrote that I don't remember very well. Most likely, from the mentioned moment I stopped monitoring the account, as I was busy with other tasks.

I see the original settings have been in place for a few months. SINCE NEW YEAR'S EVE - 100%. Received settings were in this interval: 2019.04.01-2019.07.20.


Can't call it a clean experiment as it was twitching for a few weeks due to reputational cockroaches. Good thing other tasks were found, indirectly giving the opportunity not to stick their dirty hands on this account anymore.

And if you put $10,000 into the account, would the strategy work just as well? Or will slippages start to occur?
