Backtesting - Real Tick Data / Tross - page 2

 
Craig:
I tried GoblinOptions on tick data which is not Gain Capital and got an almost indentical result.

Exist anywhere valid ticks data for downloads? I need for correct backtesting .

 

I got ticks from these guys: www.disktrading.com

Tross,

can you show some backtests on EURUSD

for latest Bipolar version on H1 and H4 with Fibo and Martingale progressions ?

I did some backtest on it and Fibo mode does not show any errors I experienced in forward testing.

Hi Tom,

I can't seem to get bipolar to make any trades on my 4h backtests, does it work for you?

Attached 1h EURUSD backtests, one with Fibo, one without.

I don't use moneymanagement so the Fibonacci sequence always works.

If you do use moneymanagement in Bipolar it will mess with your lot sizes during any progressions. I played with it for a few hours last night, but couldn't find a graceful solution.

Anyways, hope this helps.

Yes it does, but results are far from good.

Thank you.

I think the first trade should be based on Money Management, the add on trades should be based on Fib or whatever progression the user chooses.

I think, one correct method... logging your broker tick data.. and share.

Indeed Maji, that would be how to fix it.
