Hello Beluck, can you post backtesting results?

I'm not getting good backtesting results, but perhaps I'm doing something bad.

Best regards.

It took a long time to

Code:

  SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE);
   SetIndexDrawBegin(0,Periods);
   if(
   	!SetIndexBuffer(0,e7) &&
      !SetIndexBuffer(1,e2) &&
      !SetIndexBuffer(2,e3) &&
      !SetIndexBuffer(3,e4) &&
      !SetIndexBuffer(4,e5) &&
      !SetIndexBuffer(4,e6) &&
   	!SetIndexBuffer(5,e1)
      )
      Print("cannot set indicator buffers!");

Look---the same index buffer is set to e5[] and e6[]. That's wrong.

Change to

Code:

    !SetIndexBuffer(4,e5) &&
    !SetIndexBuffer(5,e6) &&
    !SetIndexBuffer(6,e1)

This gives some very different results.

yes, now i see it only shorts

that is why backtest is profitable - we have downtrend
i will debug it and post updated version.
meanwhile here is indicator with arrows.

Beluck · #8 (**permalink**) 10-14-2005, 10:14 AM

this metatrader is still buggy

i had to code t3ma directly into expert to get buy signals on backtest.
here is updated expert

So, we may use two indicators?

Or I do not understand something ...

newdigital · #10 (**permalink**) 10-14-2005, 10:31 AM

The same two indicators with SATL (default settings) - see picture.

If the t3 indicator is similar with satl so we may use an other digital indicators just to improve the system.
May be.
