    Re: [REQ] Thunderbolt EA

     

    Actually I just saw the same message when backtesting Fractals. Does anybody knows what this msg means?

     

    Hmm... Does it mean that too many people are running the educated ea at once or what is wrong with it?

    That's the very good point. Anyway, the backtest i did is far from reality, so it was just fun :) Thanks!

     

    Hrm... I'm not sure ab out using FXDD data. Their live spreads are typically fairly high.

     

    That's not relevant. Spreads are stored in your MetaTrader terminal, not in the historical data. The historical data in MetaTrader only contains date & time, open, high, low, close Bid prices and volume. There are no Ask prices or spread values in the data.

     

    So the spread that is used will be broker and time-of-day dependent. This is a very important thing to note, epsecially with Alpari (US) because they now have floating spreads.

     

    So if you are backtesting over a connected MetaTrader terminal, the Strategy Tester will use the spread at that time. It's a really stupid design, but that's just how it is and we don't currently have any way to change how that works. So if you are testing during an active trading session, you may be testing using a low spread value, so your results are not indicative of the performance you'd get when it actually trades in the proper time window. The same issue exists for other brokers (most brokers?) whose spread widens during the time when MegaDroid is meant to trade.

     

    The way you should be testing is to use an offline terminal. You can make an offline terminal by waiting until its within the proper time window during the day (or night), then delete your demo account. The spreads will then stay constant in the terminal regardless of the time of day that you run your tests. You should then note down the spread values of each symbol for your reference.

     

    So I think you need to discard your test results so far and start over.

    Hey Don! Thanks for sharing. I have one question...are you 100% sure that this choosing logic works. can you check it please, because i was testing Eur/gbp and there are no big changes whatever logic i use. For example with the logic 3 the end result is 4326,97, with logic 2 4326,58, with logic 4 4405,89, logic 1 4399,55 ...they are basicly the same because i tested from 2008 till today. Also the graphics looks the same....same big losses. Broker is alpari uk.

     

    Thanks ;)
