Right. We need to find the differences between them and incorporate them into a single version. I'd love to do it myself, but I'm up to my neck in homework and I really should be doing that right now.

Hi,
I've downloaded every EA version posted on this thread, none of them will backtest on any platform.
I'm not new to MT backtesting, so everything is set up correctly...
The timeline advances but there are no results whatsoever.
I tried the other recommendations like unchecking "use date", etc., but still nothing.
I have plenty of data and many platforms - nothing.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks.

What kind of errors are you getting in the "Journal" tab. I'm assuming the lotsize is too small. Change it to 0.1 and then try it.

Journal reports no errors, just a repetition of this as date/ time increments:

"(Date, Time), EA, Pair, 15M, Spread=2, c=0"

InitLots set to .01

Try testing a newer version with lotsizes at 0.1 (fifthelement version is nice)

The old ones, even if there is an error, won't report it.

Ok zuijlen, so my suspicion was correct. Thanks for clarifying.

FXDD does offer micro accts. You'll normally start with mini/standard acct. If you want micro accts, you'll have to ask for it.

I have heard some bad things about IBFX. I say we try to do forward test using FXDD so that we are all on the same page.

WNW, the version I posted here earlier should work. It's what I used to generate the backtest results that you see on that post. Don't use any other broker than IBFX as it will only work on IBFX accts currently.

I have been testing V1/V2 on IBFX without problems (see my forward testing statement in Post #47) . In fact, I'm testing several unrelated EAs on IBFX. I've had problems in the past, but recently everything seems quite stable.

What if we just state which broker we are using when we post a statement? It should work about the same for different brokers, shouldn't it?

hhsmoney,

Thanks much, that did it; I needed IBFX.

Hi community. I´m doing a lot of backtesting with this EA and that is what I found.

Backtesting with IBFX mini account, M5 and M15, 90% modelling quality.

EA: v1+v2Mini 5% Bolla version [1][1]
Starting amount: 3000
Initial Lot 0.01

TP both short and long 18
Dlong, Dshort 18
Multiplier 1.8
% Equity 18
Max trade 18

Max Lot 3. For this setting it is necessary to modify the program directly as this option is not included.

Taking into account these settings, I backtested it once and again, since february 2006 up to the date, starting the the begining of each month up to the date, and then aleatory starting at any day from Feb 06 up to now, and the EA did not crash.
I´m sharing that, because additional backtesting could help, and may be this may inspire any of you to improve the EA. Let´s go. (excuse my english)
