I broke the Matrix
-
Hi, I'm new to Forex and fxdreema. I've watched a lot of tutorial and this is my first EA that I made. Along the line I think I broke something cause when I ran the EA for 2018 it made $1.2 billion. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
-
@cyang00 Its quite common bug in the tester - youre not George Soros yet lol
One reason can be super quick trades with open price testing, is that it?
-
@roar I just follow tutorials, lol. I really don't know what I've made. I notice it makes a lot of trades. I'm wondering if it's a bug or real. I'm conducting more test to see what happens.
-
I did some modification and now it jumped to $2.4 billion. haha this is broken.
-
Heres mine. Should fit well into MyFxbook and mql5 marketplace, lol

Why this happens: the strategy tester doesnt use accurate data. It will slightly overstate the probability of a TP hit. The effect is bigger when making more and quicker trades. There's nothing interesting here..
Going forward, I recommend building your strategy with "once per bar" block at the top, so the tester is more true to life.
-
@roar good to know, I'll keep testing it. this is my first EA so I'm sure it doesn't work in live.
-
@cyang00 looking at your trading statistic total trade loss is bigger than win trade...so how come?
-
@hasnifx You are comparing gross number with net number
-
Even if the results are not 100% reliable, these profit lines look really smooth. It's a bit demotivating to see how far you(I) are(am) from that level..

@seb-0 They are smooth because so many trades. In reality, trading costs would be so big that it's not even reasonable to expect such smoothness. Boils down to the sharpe ratio: profit/volatility. A curve like this is more reasonable:
