Re: Users' Questions and Answers

hello hello,

when i make a backtest in the fsb..."Strategy Panel"...i key in my things....and when i go to the generator...it open a new windows...and he calculate...but in the new window its changed ale OPofthPsition and all logic to...why the programm do that?

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

If you are not satisfied with the generated strategy, you can simply press the Cancel button and the program will restore your previous strategy.

If you want to improve your strategy by the help of the Generator, you can lock the desired slots (click on them), adjust the number of generating slots and start the Generator. It will delete all unlocked slots and will try to add another indicators.

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

thx.....i wanna work with the moving average....when he cross i wanna go in the markt...but i didn't find a openin logic for do that...what you men?

Привет!

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

Using a crossover as an entry point is not logically correct. See more in this article Using two indicators crossover as an entry condition in forex trading

It's better to set another entry point and to use MA crossover as an entry filter.


[Opening Point of the Position]
Bar Opening
     Enter the market at the beginning of the bar
     Base price  -  Open

[Opening Logic Condition]
Moving Averages Crossover
     The Fast MA crosses the Slow MA upward
     Base price  -  Close
     Fast MA method  -  Simple
     Slow MA method  -  Simple
     Fast MA period  -  13
     Slow MA period  -  21
     Fast MA shift  -  0
     Slow MA shift  -  0
     Use previous bar value  -  Yes

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

so there aren't some functions ( logic) for only one EMA CROSS

i wanna entry when the price cross the ema...and NOT when the fast and the slow ma cross

its not possible?

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

[Opening Point of the Position]
Moving Average
     Enter the market at the Moving Average
     Smoothing method  -  Exponential
     Base price  -  Close
     Period  -  14
     Shift  -  0
     Use previous bar value  -  Yes

[Opening Logic Condition]
Momentum
     The Momentum rises
     Smoothing method  -  Simple
     Base price  -  Close
     Period  -  14
     Additional smoothing  -  0
     Level  -  0.0000
     Use previous bar value  -  Yes

I use Momentum to determine the trade direction.

thx....i saw by the generator...that i can make a backtest...can i make e 2 in the metatrader?

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

Hello
I have a huge difference between historical bars and tested bars in the Report , Is that acceptable?

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

The tested bars start from the maximal FirstBar of the indicators.
For Moving Average
FirstBar = Period + Shift + 1;
...

So if your strategy uses MA(150), the backtest will start from  bar N: 151

Many thanxx for your patience and help

Your strategy opens at Bar Open if: "The position's opening price is higher than the previous high".

There are two cases for entry:
- Long entry: A positive gap is necessary. The new bar opens above the previous high. In that case we open at Bar Opening, which is higher than previous high.

- Short entry: A negative gap is necessary. The bar opens below the previous low.

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

Many thanx for the new way to test gaps smile  fantastic

if you see the attached picture in my previous post ( equity chart) you will find a one blue line ( no buy positions - no sell position curves ) in lots of my scans it gives me only one curve without the green or red lines !!!!  do i making any thing wrong ?

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

The Green and the Red line are available when  "Testing" -"Additional Statistics" is on.

Hello  Again

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

Hello popov
Enter market at specific days allow me to enter market in days follow each otheres EX( from monday to wed ) ,  may you make it more flixable and separate days

Ex : take trades only in ( Monday and wednesday ) only

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

Ex : take trades only in ( Monday and wednesday ) only

That's 5 minutes work on a custom indicator. You can do this alone.

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

Hello Popov,

I would like to test only the single indicator I inserted to generate a strategy but no other indicators.

Although I lock the conditions in the strategy generator and set maximum number of logic slots, I receive other indicators in the strategy. How can I prevent other indicators from my limited strategy.

Simply said, how to find out what the best parameter settings for only one indicator are, no combinations and add ons etc. for the currency and time period I choosed?

Thank you very much!

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

Hi Popov

    It is possible with FSB to have multiple buy/sell orders on the same bar ? For exemple if I am on 1H timeframe and on the same bar I am receiving 2 buy signals from the indicator I am using (fibonacci in my case) it is executed or no ?. I see that the philosophy of FSB is base on loop with bars not with ticks like MT. Please advise.

I tried to modify the fibonacci indicator to solve the issue but no success.

Best regards
ogo

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

I only want adding to your answer that I'm planning a new feature for the generator - linked slots.
Now when you lock a slot it stay unchanged.
The linked slot will preserve the indicator name, but the logic and params will be changeable.

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

I think that this is a very good idea. I have been a step behind to suggest this feature by myself.

Re: Users' Questions and Answers

To Ogo,

FSB can place two entry orders in a single bar - one long entry and one short entry. It depends on the indicator in the entry slot. For example if you use MA - the program places only one entry price. If you set BB or Envelop, the program will place two orders. FSB interpolates a ba and if the entry filters allow, it will execute entry at the first reached order. The second order execution depends on the entry filter in one hand and from next signals behaviours on other hand. In addition to that, one can use Enter Once filter for further control.

You can find examples in the demo strategies to FST.

It is interesting how you think MT manages tick backtesting when bar data are aavailable. FSB openly declares interpolation algorithms and the ambiguous cases it finds.
