Share different strategies

[emilio]

I´m interested in share my strategies in order to made them better with things like reduce drawdawn, use of martingale -paroli /other options ....other ideas .... ect I believe this forum is a perfect starting point with experimented programmers/traders.
If we could share our own background maybe will be more profitable for all us.

If only "I have this problem please solve it" my feeling is that we are wasting 70% of this forum power.

Any idea to run ???

Thank you all in advance.

Nice suggestion...

How do you evaluate a winning strategy?

A recent method I discovered, is to check your win/loss percentage [not profit/loss amounts] for a given number of trades (I choose 20), now, if its above 50%, you have an edge, so there is no need to 'improve' the strategy. If the strategy still incurs a loss (in money) then your money management needs to be changed to tip the balance (without changing the strategy).

So rather than improve a winning system, an EA developer can simply calculate the systems edge on a per 20 trades( or any preferred number) basis, and once the results fall below 50% the EA stops and sends the owner an alert. Then you can consider improving or reconfiguring your EA.

My two cents

The only way to evaluate the strategy till now was to run a background since the oldest date that the broker database lets. Or since 1/1/2015.
As an example this print screen, I would like to reduce D.D. but I consider it is the price to pay for a constant result stability.

What is the software used to upload printscreens ???? Attached file .ex4 and result of it since 1/1/2015, with the example.

Is it possible to get you feedback for it ???

Tks.

From what I see, you have a very good EA, the draw-down is reasonable. There's simply no need to tamper with it.
Personally I do not rely on back-tests, it isn't a true reflection of an EA's potential (my opinion).
If I were you, I would forward test it for a given time or number of trades and then check the results again.

Again I will say, if it's not broken (it looks very good) - don't try to 'fix' it. Over optimizing might end-up spoiling a good EA.

Thank you very much, I´ll do as you suggest too.

To run the EA I forget to attach a custom indicator needed , now it is attached.

I hope you can reproduce now the same theoretical back test results as me, starting on 1/1/2015 from eurostock index.
