How to make someone believe the backtest ? - page 4

 
Angelito Cartagena:

Backtesting are based from previous data but in real trading conditions you are dealing the future that is not yet known, an EA with good results on a 5 year backtest data wont guarantee that it will work the same in the future, besides there are other things to consider in real market, such as slippage,re-quotes, news time, etc. In short excellent results in a backtest environment will not ensure success in real live trading conditions.

please study statistics and math again.

back to your high school.

Could you prove it ? How much time are you profitable ?

you should support metatrader 4 backtest, you are a moderator.

 

i think a good backtest is only 30 entries, starting on present time to back , no more than that. If you develop 5 tactics with more than 80% wins, then every trade completed you use the other tactic, so you refresh your luck

 

Unfortunately, luck does not apply here.

If you build a winning system, it will win, and you will know exactly why it's winning.

No luck, no hope, no coincidence, no singularity, just the needed amount of hard work and effort put in to make it work.

I cant agree better. There is no luck here. Especially in backtesting. when your system proves to be profitabble after backtesting, you are able to trade with confidence and knowledge.

I love to backtest because it helps me understand when there is a problem because it provides your losing streak, RR, profit factor, win rate, maximum loss and profit.

Infact, it provides everything you will need as a trader
