BIG difference in Strategy Tester from Build 198 to 200 (bigger in M1) New comment Forex Trader 2006.11.15 21:00 Same data, same expert running on 1 minute timeframe everytick. Build 198: Profit factor=11.15, Total trades=1115, Profit trades=95.96% Build 200: Profit factor= 0.81, Total trades= 185, Profit trades=73.51% This is the case with all my experts, all build 198 big winners are build 200 big loosers. *** Higher timeframe back tests show less difference ***. This difference is hugh, Why please? Makes me think that I have been wasting soooo much time to develop with this platform & backtester. Please do get technical as I am very technical. Do I need to write my own "Strategy Tester" for MT4 (build 208) !!!? Expert advisor great results when spread is low and total disaster when spread is high Backtesting/Optimization Forex Trader 2006.11.16 10:33 #1 More accurate modeling New comment
