Strategy Tester
Aaragorn,
I looked at your back testing results and I noticed that your modeling quality is only 29% or so. I don't mean this in a mean way, but those results mean nothing. Even with a modeling quality of 90% the results really don't correlate with live trading too well. Back testing with a modeling quality of 90% just starts to give a trader an idea of what potentional the EA Might have. If you really want to see what an EA can do you have to forward test it at present. It is possible that in the future a better backtester will come out, but for now it's not all that reliable. Just try forward testing an EA and you will see what I mean.
Aplari's data that can be download to get modeling quality to 90% is indicative data and therefore doesn't accurately represent the true market movement but only is an estimate that may or may not give signals in live trading. That is why it is hard to trust the backtester.
That is all I have for now. I'm not trying to burst your bubble or anything, I just want you to be aware.
Thanks
Huhenyo
