In more recent times I've been testing broker services and strats on mini and nano accounts, most of the time quite useful.

thank you.
This is the reason why some trading algorithm run good on a demokonto and sometimes bad on
real konto.

Ok, if slippage is zero in the demoaccount. We have too look in other direction.

Trades get executed at the same prices orders are sent! Slippage occurs if order price is 1.2220 but it gets executed by broker at 1.2225. Slippage is then 5.

If you're on demo, you hardly get any slippage ever. Live trades will definitely have slippage. So, as always it will depend on your broker mostly what execution speeds and slippage you experience.

I removed all closing conditions without "bar closing" but the result was good too.

I think it is the slippage.
The strategy is profitable with Slippage <1.5 but in real we get a bigger Slippage.

I have checked my protokolls

For example:
Metatraderlog:
2012.07.16 02:00:03    MT4-FST Expert EURUSD,H1: ConsecutiveLosses = 0
2012.07.16 02:00:03    MT4-FST Expert EURUSD,H1: close #43836853 sell 1.00 EURUSD at 1.2251 at price 1.2248
2012.07.16 00:00:09    MT4-FST Expert EURUSD,H1: open #43836853 sell 1.00 EURUSD at 1.2251 ok

Logfile of the FST:
2012-07-16 00:00:09, EURUSD H1 An entry order sent: Sell 1 lot at 1,2251, Stop Loss 0, Take Profit 0
2012-07-16 00:00:09, EURUSD H1 Short 1 lot at 1,2251, Stop Loss 0,0000, Take Profit 0,0000, Profit -16,32 EUR
2012-07-16 02:00:02, EURUSD H1 An exit order sent: Close 1 lot at 1,2248
2012-07-16 02:00:03, EURUSD H1 Square


Is the Slippage=3 in this example? Or is this not the Slippage? In what protokoll can I see Slippage?

Why so many? I've experienced highly profitable strats which turn out to be losers because of some closing condition, that means theoretically possible, but realistically hardly achieveable trades. Look if there are too many trades with very little profit, like a point or two, these trades might not pan out in live trading, yet FSB shows them as profitable and not even ambiguous.

There's no need in spreading a working version all over the place and then speculate about bugs or no bugs in different corners instead of carrying out testing and developing work in the specific thread.

I agree with that and that's the reason for creating the indicators GitHub repository: https://github.com/PopovMP/Custom-Indicators. It'll be better to use the repository for storing and tracking changes of all custom indicators in one place.

The latter means this indi (SpudFibo project) has its own thread in Techn.Indi section, therefore I am asking Thomas to remove the indi from here and replace it with a correct pointer to that specific indi thread. There's no need in spreading a working version all over the place and then speculate about bugs or no bugs in different corners instead of carrying out testing and developing work in the specific thread.

You are more than welcome to give comments and feedback on those indis, when ramadan ends, I hope Ahmed will be back to have his say about it, because lets not forget he is the one who brought our attention to this indi.

And last request - when you think something is wrong, please examine it with great detail, take your time and think about it, exercise your gray cells big_smile Arguments like "the equtiy curve looks too good" arise suspicion, but don't help much. Cold hard arguments, ladies and gentlemen. smile

It is always the same. Most time if the equty curve is too good it is a bug :-(

I am not sure what is wrong with indi
it could be wrong setup of - use previous bar value

i think there is some error in calculation making indi useless
- equity curve is too straight
- i changed close to nothing for opposite direction signal and nothing happen - results are the same

I found this indicator here in the forum.
This is only for testing. It is possible that is a bug in the indicator.
This can be the reason while the equity curve is so good.

You can test this on a demoaccount, and if the demoaccout is profitable at least 2 month,
you can post the result here.
I will do the same.

"There is no indicator names: Spud Fibonnaci"


How to solve that Problem ?
