Visual Back Test

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I found this very useful visual back test system for those who want to test your indicator during weekend / market closed.

It is running in faster mode so we can check how is indicator work and is it repaint for some color coding indi.

 

http://[email protected]/file/187285176/385ad255/VisualBackTest.html

 

Setup steps:

• Place the VB40032.DLL file in your \Windows\System32 directory

• Place the .MQ4 file in your experts directory, and restart your MT4 platform

• Place the BuySell.exe file on your desktop, and double click it to start.

• Click in the Folder Path box and browse your way to the tester\files\ folder in the directory where MT4 is installed, example C:\Program Files\MetaTrader

• In MT4 open the Strategy Tester (VIEW/Strategy Tester), and click the Visual Mode checkbox.

• In the Expert Advisor: box, select the BackTestTrader expert

• Click on START [you may need to wait for 5mins for data loading]

 

After data window loaded you can place your indicator as needed.

Adjust the Visual mode slider to speed up or slow down the chart speed.

 

Click the BUY, SELL or CLOSEALL buttons on the BuySell program to place orders or close all orders.

The Comment area on the chart will track your equity and drawdown.

 

Thats all...

 

Kudos me if you like it... :-bd

Hi SEFC,

 

I don't think you need that file to run this.

I just run it like instruction mentioned above.

Makesure you copy the VB file to your system32 folder.

 

Hi drOo69,

 

I'm using this to test out indicator and monitor how it change i didnt use it to buy or sell...maybe i will try later..

 

You can press 'pause' button to stop simulate, scroll the scrollbar to left for slow speed and right for higher speed, also set the date as per your request into to date box.

All can be set in back test window.

Re: Visual Back Test

 

VHANDS: One more tool to backtest in real time. You don't need visual basic for this

 

[codehttp://[email protected]/file/202907056/4340a1be/vTerminal.html[/code]

 

How to set up and use:

Download the zip file from the link, copy the following files from the zip file to the following locations:

 

1. vHandsTrade.mq4 goes into "experts"

2. VisualTestingTools.mq4 goes into "include"

3. vTerminal.mq4 and vHistory.mq4 both go into "indicators"

 

Now restart metatrader.

 

Now open a chart with your EMA and candle settings.

 

Drag vhistory indicator on to the chart

Drag vTerminal indicator on the chart

 

Save the chart as a template and name it vHandsTrade.tpl

 

Open strategy tester

Select VhandsTrade as the expert to be tested

Select your favorite currency pair, select the timeframe, tick "use Date", tick "Visual Mode"

 

Now click "Start"

 

Chart starts replaying as if in real time from the start date you chose. When your buy/sell conditions are met click on the PAUSE button. On the chart you will see a box, which has buy, sell, buystop etc lines. If you are buying double click the green buy line and drag it anywhere on the chart. You can select the preset SL and TP buy dragging the respective numbers on chart OR drag the TP line where u want your tp to be and SL lines where you want your stop to be. And click that pause button again (It now looks like a play button). \m/
