For all which want reliable backtest:
- Download 1 minute data for EUR/USD from 2004.06.16 to 2005.10.11 (at "Formats - MT, XPO, MetaStock" the monthly datas): http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/dc/databank.php
- In Metatrader click on Tools/History Center and then on Forex/EURUSD/1 Minute (M1). Import all downloaded *.hst files
- Click on Tools/Options and then on Charts. Put in "Max bars in history" a very high number (99999999999999)
- Open a 1 Minute (M1) chart and doubleclick the "Period_converter" script from the left Navigator
Put at Inputs/ExtPeriodMultiplier the number 5 and hit OK. Now the 5 Minute history is created from the 1 minute history datas. It should be immediately completed. No notification about the completion. After some seconds, doubleclick "Period_converter" again and put at Inputs/ExtPeriodMultiplier the number 15 and hit OK. Now the 15 minute history is created from the 1 minute history data. Do this as often as needed for all the time periods you want run backtests. Have a look into the 'History Center' to make sure the convertions were successful. For example, click on '5 minute' and scroll down, the last date should be the 2004.06.16 where you have history data for the 5 minute period.
- Now in the Strategy-Tester choose the "Use date" option and put in the testperiod from 2004.06.16 to 2005.10.11, click on 'recalculation' and run the tests. After the test is completed you should see in the 'Report'-Tab a modelling quality about 90% which means very accurate results. You have then a backtest for 1.3 years.
But I cant find the "Period_converter" where do I find that one?
I had me also to test this EA but after a good very advantageous month, it became very negative during the last 4 months.
I do not have any more the statements of this test because my laptop is breakdown and my hard disk died.
But it may be that you use other adjustments which give better results. I that everyone will be interested to know them or then you think did change or improved the code of the EA?
