Today, I start running the Phoenix_5_v2 on 5 different brokers' demo. Only the USDJPY, GBPJPY & EURJPY are moving but the 2 new pairs GBPUSD, USDCHF don't.
Can you explain why both backtesting below ended up with different result in backtesting compared to backtesting run by Fikko eventhough they are using same setting. It is due to the datasource or the Platform(Broker) itself.

I suggest you to leave backtesting and focus on forward testing on demo account!
I am testing on demo account Phoenix 5.62 on several different timeframes and different modes (2 and 3). The only change I made is changing maximum risk = 0,25.
Computer will run 24/5, and I will post my results on Friday, 9PM GMT.

Stay tuned
I'd have to agree with that. I mean, backtesting is great, but now we have like bazillion people all doing backtesting. Testing on demo is the way to go now. I mean, demo is a totally different thing from real trading, but well, backtesting is even further from live %)

I have a question for you about the parameters adjustments.
In the backtest the system performs well this last six months but before that time (like 2 years ago) the results are not good.
In my opinion, that shows that the parameters need to be adjusted depending on the time.
What is your suggestion to adjust the parameters. Should we for instance optimize on the last 3 months and recalculate the parameters every month?
Do you think that if we optimize with the nearest period of time it will give values that are Ok for the next month?
Just a small comment about is written about forward testing on the previous posts. Of course forward testing is the best solution but to be valid it has to be done on a long period of time. 1 month for instance is in my opinion not enough. maybe 6 months is OK. And as we have new versions or new parameters pretty often it is difficult to test for a long time.
But at least we know that the championship version performs well after 5 weeks of forward testing !
