Petko, thank you so much for your work! I would not understand how the new features work if it is not your work! I really appreciate it!
The WFO looks really interesting and it gives weight to the recent period plus having the complete backtest validated is just fantastic!
Hello Jacpin,
It is indeed hard to set the range for the cryptocurrencies. This is because the recent months the Bitcoin and the others were staying in a range without huge volatility. During this time when I was generating EAs, I was looking for smaller TP because if I place a huge range, the generator will look at the whole Historical Data. This will include the data from 2017 and 2018 when the bigger TP worked better and Take Profit of 200$ was taken a few times during the day. This was the time when I recorded the two courses for the Bitcoin Never Losing Forumala.
Anyway, now there is some volatility again, so I have increased again the ranges. Also, I am testing now the cryptocurrencies with the update with the Walk Forward Optimization. I have described it in the recent update called EA Studio updates: Walk Forward optimization.
This way we take the last parameters which are best for the recent period of data. And this is very suitable for the cryptocurrencies which have different volatility all the time.
Hope that helps.
Jacpin, you are so kind to share all of that. Thanks a lot! I am sure you are in help to many that read but afraid to ask :)
I have started using gold too and I am happy with the results so far :)
Hello Roman, I know what is Excel :) I just did not think of using to track my work with EA Studio. I am starting right now :)
Hello Jacpin,
I succeed to create EAs so far that last for no more than 5 weeks. So I guess this is the thing we need to look for – longer successful performance. This way the longer the EAs last, the less work we will do. At the end of the day, this is why we are at Expert Advisors :) And what do you mean by tighter performance? Why are you looking for SL closer to the TP?
