Well? Which one. No point saying one is positive without letting us know which one now is there?

I`m having trouble finding an EA that has a positive equity curve.Does anyone have one off the net?

For EUR/USD with $10,000 over the four year period from January 2005 to January 2009 there is only one I have found.

This EA is from the envelope series and may have been tweaked to suit but seems to be more promising than the others that go negative.

Take a look at the best from the Elite Section. See if you can find something suitable. That is if you have not already

[Stormin_Norman]

there are quite a few good ones on the elite section.

well worth the $15 a month to subscribe. some very knowledgeable people on there.

we have looked at the envelope in depth. we have notes on it and will revisit it. it requires a limiter to recognise trending and ranging markets.

What about a graph for FAP over the same period?Is it any better just out of curiosity?

I don't know how to use strategy tester for backtesting.

Got a good link which shows how to do it including importing the historical data?

 

[Stormin_Norman]

its not that complicated. do a google and youll find info on how to set it up.

First attempt at a back test.

So not sure if results are correct or not.

 

[Stormin_Norman]

back test looks like it was done properly. a lot of mismatched charts errors. what data are you using? usually this comes from one time period not matching the next.

ie close of one bar doesnt equal the opening of the next one.

one thing that will be different between a backtest/demo + a live account will be spread + execution (slippage).

downloaded the 1M data from the alpari site

run the converter script to convert to 15M

using out of sample data is the only true test

 

[Stormin_Norman]

are u running it live? which broker?

what's the backtest like without money management (lot size increasing) on?

That is very good thanks Faps.

Obviously the Money Management algorithms are the key factor in successful EA`s.Do you know basically what determines the increasing lot sizes.I`m assuming it is account balance but I don`t really understand the logic used to increase lot sizes over time.

Nevertheless it does encourage further investigation.Can you honestly type that live results are following the same pattern?

Thanks for your contribution to the forum.
