Using it with a conservative drawdown will help you immensely.

I start with Sharpe at 6 to cut out a lot of nonsense, DD I set at 6 also.....

Tons of trades that end up with a long term loss is counterproductive

What then would be the Sharpe Ratio for your tests..?

I actually do not know what does it mean and i do not care about it
I care about profitability, big number of trades to be able to test it fast, max equity drawdown and long/short balance

I am aware that you can increase in config file, I also have an idea that using far too many bars will be counterproductive based on the fact that too large a period will obscure bad periods.

The idea is to be testing on several small periods in order to know that results are satisfactory for each small period in addition to the longer period. so that you may know you will have better results in future.

I can see now why your ea will not be beneficial  in all periods.

Well yes, I am using this approach
Test on as long period as possible 2008+
Than test each year.
Then test each 3 month
Then test each month
Even is strategy survives all these it does not mean it will survive live/demo testing

50,000 is enuf with proper walk forward

nope 50,000 is default in fsb
you can however increase it in config file.

Hey guys,

let me do some more fwd testing pls.  So far many accounts just blow up so i need to do some adjustments

I have had the same difficulty..... more than a bunch of times....

Quite strange though - the only strategy that survived 6+ months on demo was
martingale with huge dd

Do you reoptimize on a regular basis...... do you use maximum number of bars when you make a new robot...

Perhaps you have to set higher standards for your robots initially.

Take a close look at myfxbook and see if you can determine some parameters.... gradually work with the thing as he had to do and you will end up with what you need.

Everything you work on will build your experience and knowledge of the tools.

Myself, I am trying different things all day long, slowly learning whatever.

Reverse engineering is a sound idea! Especially so when we all know what software Togr used haha
