How to find out what the Optimisation data comes from in a single pass? - General

Probably missed it.

They didn't miss it.

The current format of the opt file does not allow it. You have to think about it.

It is now very easy to find out

All tester settings and EA input parameters.
All statistical data of each pass of Optimisation.

But we can't find out, for example, statistical data of a single pass. It is clear, there is a tst-format. But it would be convenient to use CTRL+C in the Strategy Tester to form a set-file with statistical data in the Backtest tab.

I don't know about others, but I find it convenient when the set file contains all the information. It's very quick to figure out what it is, where it comes from and how much.

This is the output of the ExpTradeSummary structure fields.

Running Strategy Tester from Development plans for the Features of the mql5

fxsaber 2019.11.18 12:19 #264

Since powerful caches have appeared, it is advisable to improve them somewhat.

Now only one user parameter, OnTester, gets into the cache.

It would be very convenient if ExpTradeSummary became three or five doubles bigger. Which could be filled in via

double OnTester( double &CustomDoubles[] );

Now you analyze caches and obviously lack possibility to see not one user's value but several.

This is a request to Metaquotes, I hope that at least one developer of the team can answer (sorry if he was already asked, but due to language problem I can't find answer on Russian forum).

Is it reasonable to ask for an improvement of the Strategy Tester to add the ability to test a trading situation that never happens on a demo account, but only on a real account? As it is really hard to create robust code without being able to fully test it.

This is mainly because of the centralized market (as opposed to Forex / CFD). For example, partial order filling, on a demo account this never happens (as far as I know), but on a real account on futures or equities it's a common situation. It would be very useful to have a tool to simulate such a situation.

Partial fill is just an example, if Metaquotes thinks it's a good idea to work with such features, I'm willing to centralise the ideas and provide a detailed description of such features. (Nothing specific for my own needs).

Thanks for your time and answer(s).

Alain Verleyen:

it is difficult to create reliable code without being able to fully test it.

To do this, every serious EA developer debugs their trading libraries for years on real accounts.

There is no way to create reliable code without it.

That's true, but it would help to avoid a lot of time-consuming tests on a real account.

fxsaber 2019.11.18 18:59 #268

Artyom Trishkin:

So it is true, but this functionality would help to avoid many time-consuming tests on a real account.

There are two objectives.

An adequate trading biobioteque that just knows how to show the current trading status, trading history and send orders. Here the Tester is almost no help. The demo can help a lot if we conduct stress tests. We cannot do them on the real account - it's expensive. Therefore, there is only a demo on a huge number of symbols/servers. Such libraries are on the fingers of one hand.
Practicing the trading logic of partial executions, redirects, etc. This point is much easier than the first one. And repeatedly solved on the same MT4 without any testers. It really is simple.

A tester can only help with the second point, the simple one. You can implement partial execution by measuring the allegedly "liquidity ceiling" of the TS. But that would be an extremely crude estimate.

It should be understood that any enhancements in the Tester are additional brakes even if these enhancements are not used.
