Hi there,

Is the forward trading matching the backtest over the same period on individual pairs?

Cheers

Two months isn't much to compare, but so far the forward trading seems to match the backtest results.

Thanks for the prompt response.

Well but what is the expectation if forward trading matches backtests considering the tests on your website as guidance?

I see the bot working now in a 'lucky' window...

Cheers

Well, at first I thought that maybe some of the trade validation filters don't work with the strategy tester, but given that the forward trading seems to confirm the backtests you might be right.

I just did a quick comparison between my backtests and the vendor's account for the overlapping period (01/2014 - 09/2014) and at least for AUDUSD and EURUSD the trades mostly match. For GBPUSD the backtest shows almost twice as many trades as the vendor's account while still achieving a similar pip gain, and the NZDUSD backtest is way off the chart in terms of pips, showing 6 full SP compared to 3 full SL on the vendor's account.

I hope I won't have to see the backtest results for 2009 - 2013 replicating on my live account, but unfortunately, there is only one way to find out.

Yeap, the bot appears to be very data and broker sensitive.

Thus handle with care ;)
