<![CDATA[Forex Software — Unrealistic back test with higher time frame]]> https://forexsb.com/forum/topic/6034/unrealistic-back-test-with-higher-time-frame/ Fri, 20 May 2016 20:57:35 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: Unrealistic back test with higher time frame]]> https://forexsb.com/forum/post/36000/#p36000 Yes, Footon is right. The problem was in the UPBV algorithm. It is extremely complex. Some times it takes me several days to decide if an indicator with particular parameters has to use UPBV or not. It is not surprising that no other software supports such concept. UPBV and the Ambiguous Bars are the core concepts and know-how used in FSB Pro.

The concrete reason for the above issue was that the program applied the UPBV shift on the original time frame instead of the indicators LTF. It happens because the program compares the Position open price with the indicator value. I have missed the fact that the position price is determined by the main time frame. The correct behaviour is to compare the Position price with the previous value of a LTF indicator if the indicator is used for opening and its Base price is not Bar Open.

I want to examine this case once more time before releasing an official version. I have to fix the digital signature issue also, but I cannot figure it out now.
The problem is that the older licenses are issued for the public key of the old FSB Pro digital certificate. Now I sign the program with a new certificate (forced by Microsoft) and the old License Codes cannot validate the new signature. The license service thinks that your program is hacked with a broken digital signature.

In software or indicator?

I possible reason can be a new digital certificate I'm using now.

Microsoft changed their security policy and request a new type of digital signature for the applications. That forced me to update the FSB's certificate and it seams there is some conflict. I'll try to fix it.

Hi Popov after installing this version, FSB asked me to enter my license code again, but when I enter my license code, it said that my license code is not valid.

Could you please help me?

Update : I revert my FSB back to version 3.6.0, and the license works again

I'll try to fix it and will upload a new release as soon as possible.

There were problems with LTF before, but those were fixed, lets wait for Miroslav's answer.

Found some unrealistic results in backtest. After trying EA in mt4 it fails fast. I think somehow EA sees the future, or is there other bugus behavior between few timeframes with low periods what I don't know. Maybe it was dissected earlier, so sorry for repeating, and if so, maybe someone could link to that discussion? After watching long in the indicator chart could not answer whats wrong. Please help smile I think it is essential to know why is this, and to prevent future mistakes and time wasting.

Strategy uses two Bollinger Bands indicators, one for m5 and other h1. When it set to very low periods and multiplier it starts to show miracle results.
