Hi there,
Bottom line:
Having the back-testing results on MySQL DB.
MT4 for now, but it should work for both 4/5.
Background:
- 15-20 MT4 terminals on a VPS.
- Strategy Tester opened with EA + Symbol per Terminal.
- Inputs: Start, Step, Stop Values are already there.
Version 1: Full optimization + Back-testing.
- Change the date to "Today".
- Run optimization with current inputs (Optimization Checkbox is checked).
- Select from the "Optimization Results" the best record (high profit, low DD).
- Run Back-testing with those values (Optimization Checkbox is not checked).
- Validate that the total results are good as the optimization results (sometimes after back-testing we got horrible "results" and
"graph" which are not matching the optimization results).
- If the "results" are not good - select the next record from the "optimization results" and run the back-testing again.
-
Repeat on this step until we get a good "results" - as we had on the optimization.
- Save the inputs as a preset file.
- Save the report.
- Export "Results" as a CSV file.
- Import new data (dates) to MySQL db, do not overwrite current data/dates (import only new orders)
--- optional:
* If its possible, I would like to do that on ONE terminal, same EA, different symbols.
So in
addition: We will load the new preset to the relevant chart in order to have an updated optimization.
Version 2: Back-testing - No optimization is required.
- Change the date to today.
- Run the back-testing.
- Export "Results" as a CSV file.
- Import new data (dates) to MySQL db, do not overwrite current data/dates (import only new orders).
To summarize:
For version 1:
We will have auto optimization + Report + Results + Preset file.
If its possible
to work on ONE terminal so the preset will be loaded with the EA into the relevant chart.
For version 2:
Super short process that will auto generates us the "results" only, after back-testing.
If
you have a better idea which is more simple than the above - im open for suggestions.
I will consider both versions according to your skills and bids.
If you need more details - feel free to ping me.
Thanks.
