therefore it's win/loss ratio is
the number of winners/total trades or...
1273/1457=0.873713109=87%
can any other EA beat that I wonder?
To figure this out I isolated each position the EA took based on it's lot size. I could do that because this EA doubles the lot size for each trade in the series of trades it executes when it trades. I copied the strategy test results into excel and simply sorted for each trade of the same lot size and then counted how many won and how many lost for each of the five (when maxtrades=5) that it executes.
87% is pretty good I think. but I wonder if there are any better?
Anyone know of a better win/loss ratio? |
that is awsome. But can it make real money. 87% is just cause to go live. Demo data feed from brokers are different. I am running CT on real account and demo too. Same exact settings but the EA is showing different decisions. One says soulution=buy other will say uncertian. Same broker, same time frame, same settings.

edit: with 87% winning on tests you'll know real fast if its working on real. If it takes more losses than what the test show the max loss is then disable it and cut losses. Worth a try.
