Re: Flawless strategy no2 for 5 minutes

I used the historical data from FSB for backtesting and the strategy doesn't work for me.
Am I the only person who have problems with your strategies?

I think you use highly optimized strategies for a certain timeframe, it seems to work for you.
I' ll try to get some new historical data.

So the strategy should work in all time frames? And for how many bars in the past? What is your approach?

Re: Flawless strategy no2 for 5 minutes

In the Description -- it says "Tested bars: 2853". Does this mean your test data was for 2 weeks or so? That might be too short to find a strategy likely to continue working.
I optimize on the past 2-4 months. Then, if it looks good, I check the strategy on a 4-month period from last year. I have found for my strategies they may continue working, but only for 1-3 weeks at most. Then, the win ratio drops to around 10%-25%. I am still trying to figure out how to tell why and when a strategy works and doesn't.
I found the same as Hans753 -- the above strategy with EURUSD 5 minute for June 1-18 '10 did not work for me.

Have a margin call immediately while testing this on all time frames.

Re: Flawless strategy no2 for 5 minutes

@acharyadas: I don't know how to write good strategies, this my problem.
Maybe your method to backtest only 2 weeks and then use this strategy for one week is a good idea.
And after one week you just create a new strategy based on the last 2 weeks, is this the way you create strategies?

Re: Flawless strategy no2 for 5 minutes

Well, this is my current approach to test. Optimize every day and if it do not perform, just do another one. So it is not about strategies, but how to use them, because all of them WILL SELF DESTRUCT earlier or later.
