Hello Mr. Popov,

As far as I've seen analysis works well if you would omit the transfer-rows (btw: the exported files are much small then and easier to handle).

Besides that, it would be nice, if the currency would be added as a column (especially helpful if mixing strategies for different currencies) and maybe a column with system name. And one column called "bars hold" - that could be helpful for analysing how long trades take.

Thank you,
Erio

hi,

thank you for this great program,

my strategy shows profit only when positions are closed on monday,

i can set up exit at the end of week but i need to exit at the beginning of week,

could you please add possibility to close the trades on specified day?

I wonder can the trailing stop be made to act this way by FST. That is to only move the stop at the bar open or close. I know its not the way most or any trailing stop I have seen or used works but its the way the back test runs. I am worried that any good backtest with a trailing stop will be junk unless the FST trades like the test.
What I would like to see happen is an initial stop placed at the level specified. At the start of the next bar the stop is evaluated and moved if price has gone my way. If price has not moved my way the last stop levels stays. I think that's how the FSB runs the test.
I have used MT4 and FXCM strat trader, a trailing stops is a pain to test no matter what platform is being used. My solution has always been to figure out how the test is running the stop and try to get the strat to trade that way. The option that I don't like is to use tick data I don't have the computer power to handle a backtest that's large enough to be any good. I prefer to test a larger number of bars in a way that can be automated accurately if the test looks good.
FSB and FST so far have done this better then both MT4 and FXCM's platform. This is most likely due to my programing skills and not a fault of any program.  As an amateur programer being able to get a good test with out spending a week debugging a strat is great . Thanks for the program.

Hi Krog,

thank you very much,

indi works well,  i just need to adjust my strategy,

i would like to exit on TOP/BOTTOM price AND on Monday,

so far i found how to exit  on TOP/BOTTOM price OR on Monday,

when i use another logic - exit on bar closing and TOP BOTTOM it produces different results

than just exit on TOP BOTTOM so i need to figure it out

Hi,

thank you for great program,

i would like to add Break Even option in FSB, it is possible to use it in FST but i would like to test the impact on strategy results in FSB

I am pretty sure that if you have monthly data.. then u can use it

you need to get it into the data folder and then it has to be added using market and edited etc, just as you would when adding a daily or 5 minute data

have a look at instructions on the site and in manual to get an idea as to how to use it

Hi Mr. Popov!

I think it would be very good if we could change the plotting of the equity curve from absolute to relative and back again. So we can see much better drawdowns in their real "size", because a 30% DrawDown looks not so big, if the equity goes up to 100.000 Dollar - but it looks much bigger if the Equity goes only to 100%!

Bye,
Erio

Another wish from me:

My broker allows minimum lot size of 0.standard lots - so it won't be possible to trade 0.01 lots. It's even not possible to trade 0.11 lots because it must be always multiples of 0,10 (0.20, 0.30, ...). This is no problem for systems with fixed lotsize, but for example trading percentage of equity it will result in inprecise trading sizes. So, could you make an option to force FSB and FST to use only multiples of 0.10?

Bye,
Erio

Hi,

It'll be nice if we can have an option in the generator where we can choose to filter out
strategies with bad profit factor.

Thanks

I'd like a down-draw filter that measures the maximum down draw on a single open trade, similar to a stop loss but proportional to account size.
