Thanks I have loaded the new indicator into FSB and will run the Generator again and see what happens.

Thanks very much!

Did you get different result on MT4 after using the new Donchian Channel indicator?

Hi there, I have posted 3 images.  The one labeled FSB Panel is obviously shows the backtest for the 15M GbpUsd Donchian breakout strategy using the FXDD uploaded data.

The second image shows the date range selected in my MT4 FXDD demo EA strategy tester as matching the date range in FSB.

The third image shows the backtest graph in my FXDD MT4 demo account for the exact same period starting with $1000 demo account.

I had to post the results graph before the back test was 100% complete as I had to leave for work, but it was about 95% done and in complete draw down so you get the point.

Any help figuring out why the FXDD MT4 backtest is completely different than the FSB back test for the same period using the same data would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi thank you for your assistance thus far.  Ok I have changed the FSB strategy entry and exit times to the following:

From hour: 10
From min: 30
Until hour: 14
Until min: 0

Exit Hour: 19

I have attached the image for the new FSB strategy settings and back test result.  Net balance $8,942.37 starting with an account of $1,000 over the period of April 29, 2014 to May 6, 2016. 

I have re-saved the new EA based on this strategy uploaded it to my FXDD MT4 demo account and ran a back test in FXDD for a 1 week period only from January 1, 2015 to January 7, 2015.

I have posted the following charts:

1) Jan 1 - Jan 7 2015 FSB Journal;
2) Jan 1 - Jan 7 2015 MT4 back test results;
3) Jan 1 - Jan 7 2015 FSB chart;
4) Jan 1 - Jan 7 2015 MT4 back test chart;
5) Jan 2, 2015 FSB chart magnified;
6) Jan 2, 2015 MT4 back test chart magnified.

I am not sure what to look for to be honest but I can say right away the entry times differ in the FSB back test versus the MT4 back test. 

If part of the issue is a time zone issue how would I address that?  Wouldn't FSB automatically detect which time zone is being used by FXDD if it is using FXDD data? 

Thanks in advance as any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, why or how is the data different if I have uploaded and am using the FXDD data in FSB?  And how do I rectify?

Thanks in advance

Serge

Thanks again for your assistance as it is much appreciated.

However, I am quite confused now lol.  I imported data from my FXDD MT4, converted to csv files and uploaded to FSB closely following the directions in the FSB tutorial:  http://forexsb.com/wiki/fsbpro_guide/mt4_hst_import_help

In your last response you said:  "Never use the MetaTrader's History Center -> Download button. It replaces your broker's data with data from MetaQuotes."

This confuses me because isn't that exactly what it says to do in the FSB tutorial for downloading the HST MT4 Data before converting it to csv files and uploading to FSB?

Really confused now.  Further explanation would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Blaiser, thanks. Yes I realize that now after Popov's post but I guess my question is this: Does the tutorial need to be revised because it seems to clearly conflict with what you guys are telling me now?

Second if I have already used the MT4 history download button as per the tutorial instructions have I now permanently replaced the historic broker data with Metaquotes data?  Or can I simply reboot my FXDD terminal and the historic broker data will be available again?

I have now used the simple - File -Save As function directly from each chart time frame to save the csv data, and then copied the new csv data to the FSB data folder.

Thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to respond, much appreciated.
