Anyone can help? Why got false result from backtest ?
Hi CoderGuru,
I have problem from back test at MT4, i want to have reverse signal, while the signal appears,
my code is :
-------------------
Print("Signal Before Check TradeStyle(",TradeStyle,")");
if (Signal == -1) { StrSignal = "ENTRY-SELL"; }
if (Signal == 1) { StrSignal = "ENTRY-BUY"; }
Print("Signal B4 Check TradeStyle : ",StrSignal);
if (TradeStyle == 2) { Signal = -1*Signal; } // THIS IS FOR REVERSE PURPOSE
Print("Signal After Check TradeStyle(",TradeStyle,")");
if (Signal == -1) { StrSignal = "ENTRY-SELL"; }
if (Signal == 1) { StrSignal = "ENTRY-BUY"; }
Print("Signal After Check TradeStyle : ",StrSignal);
--------------------
The TRUE result for TradeStyle = 1 ( value 1 mean Trend Follower ) is :
--------------------
08:08 EURJPY,M1: Signal Before Check TradeStyle(1)
08:08 EURJPY,M1: Signal Before Check TradeStyle : ENTRY-BUY
08:08 EURJPY,M1: Signal After Check TradeStyle(1)
08:08 EURJPY,M1: Signal After Check TradeStyle : ENTRY-BUY
=> THIS RESULT IS RIGHT / TRUE ,
=> TREND RIDER STYLE DIDN'T CHANGE SIGNAL, SO THE RESULT BEFORE AND AFTER CHECK MUST SAME
=> Signal Before Check ENTRY-BUY
=> Signal After check ENTRY-BUY
--------------------
I use same date data and i show the time for let know, that is the same source data, but RESULT IS WRONG !
Below is FALSE result for TradeStyle = 2 ( value 2 mean COUNTER / REVERSE Trend ) is :
--------------------
08:08 EURJPY,M1: Signal Before Check TradeStyle(2)
08:08 EURJPY,M1: Signal Before Check TradeStyle : ENTRY-BUY
08:08 EURJPY,M1: Signal After Check TradeStyle(2)
08:08 EURJPY,M1: Signal After Check TradeStyle : ENTRY-BUY
=> THIS RESULT IS WRONG / FALSE,
=> COUNTER TREND STYLE MUST REVERSE SIGNAL, SIGNAL BEFORE CHECK AND AFTER CHECK MUST REVERSE
=> Signal Before Check ENTRY-BUY
=> Signal After Check ENTRY-BUY => Should ENTRY-SELL

The problem is with this line of code.
ObjectSetText("Spread_Label", DoubleToStr(spread,0), 14, "Ariel", Yellow);
When using DoubleToStr the second option is rounding, ie how many decimal places to round to. In your case you are rounding a two or 4 decimal place number back to "Zero" decimal places.
See Below:
string DoubleToStr( double value, int digits)
Returns text string with the specified numerical value converted into a specified precision format.
Parameters:
value - Floating point value.
digits - Precision format, number of digits after decimal point (0-8).
The correct code should read:
ObjectSetText("Spread_Label", DoubleToStr(spread,Digits), 14, "Ariel", Yellow);
NOTE: Digits is an internal function that returns the number of decimal places for the current symbol.
