Help - Confusing MT4 reports
-
Hey guys!
I'm looking for some feedback/help because I'm getting confusing results when testing my bot with MT4.
The issue - my bot produces different results in an identical time frame - between 20.08 and 28.08.2018, and the only thing that I change is the period in which the test runs. To be more precise:
- Test runs from 10.06 to 10.09.2018. On 20.08 the bot opens 44 positions (I've set a limit), which close on 27.08 with a significant loss.
- Test runs from 10.07 to 10.09.2018. This time, on 20.08 the bot doesn't open any positions!? However, it does open 44 positions, but between the 21.08 and 22.08, and of course the result is different (profit).
Why would that happen? There is no indicator in the bot that handles a period for more than 8 days. Therefore, even if I were to run the bot from 10.07, then by 20.08 there are much more than 8 days and on 20.08 the bot should open the same positions which would have been opened on 20.08, if the test was ran from 10.06.
I really don't understand the results I'm getting. Would appreciate any and all opinions on this.
Thanks in advance!

I guess you have some condition blocks before Buy/Sell. Which one do you suspect that is not working when it should work at that date?

Why don't you share your project? Maybe we can help you.

@graychinov The problem is that I do not suspect anyone of these blocks. All of them have neither time restrictions nor indicators with a period of more than 8 days.

Try more backtesting on other brokers and let us know.
