Hi everyone, I’m having issues with backtesting my EA’s.
My computer crashed about a month ago meaning I lost all my EA’s, now I’m back up and running and re-installed my EA’s and the meta trading platforms etc. Back then I used to come and read this forum for general advice, but never needed to join as such to ask questions, but that’s changed now!
The problem is, now whenever I try to do a back test using the EA’s, or even the built in Moving Average etc, I have no results whatsoever, I have tried a few brokers including Alpari UK, FXCM etc, but there is no change. This wasn’t the case before, and I have tried to look through this forum using search, but nothing explains the solution to my problem.
I am downloading M1, M5 and even all of the data from the history centre, I have tried open model and every tick, checking optimisation and unchecking it too.
Once I press start, the ‘backtest’ is over within 10seconds usually, so I know it’s not even gone though.
Here is an example of the results I get;
2010.05.09 14:12:11 MegaDroid: loaded successfully
2010.05.09 14:12:17 MegaDroid: optimization started
2010.05.09 14:12:17 MegaDroid: optimization stopped
2010.05.09 14:12:17 There were 1 passes done during optimization, 1 results have been discarded as insignificant
And thats for about 6 months of data apparently, so it’s telling me that not even 1 trade was done?
I’ve put my max bars in history to 999999999999, enabled live trading and EA’s in options
I’ve tried everything I can think of, and its all 3 of my EA’s, I’m sure it’s something simple, but I can’t see what!
Please someone shed some light on this before I jump out of my 2nd floor window!! Arghh:(
Thanks
