Exploring the Graal. "The 'tester grail' only works on the tester. And how to make an online chart become like a tester chart. Or - page 11

 
Yevgeniy Chagay:
https... how do you like the signal?

Warning to you

 
In the tester, Ask and Bid move in sync.
And on the online chart asynchronously.
Sometimes even Ask and Bid go towards each other. More often one stands and the other goes back and forth briskly...

That's why in trading these "tester graals" cannot show the same result as in testing.



 
The truth is out there....
 
Alexander Ivanov:
The truth is out there somewhere....

Indeed, the truth is near, but you still don't know how to see it.

It's been said how many times that real trade quotes are no different from those real ticks in the tester.

It's all about Ask and Bid. The quotes they can and are just like on the real. But inside the bar they move quite differently than in the tester.

In the tester Ask and Bid move in sync.


And they move asynchronously on the online chart.

Sometimes, even Asc and Bid go towards each other; it is not present in the Strategy Tester. More often, one stands and the other goes back and forth rapidly... - There is no such thing in the tester.

It's all about Ask and Bid. They can quote like on the real. But inside the bar they move very differently than in the tester.

In the tester Ask and Bid move synchronously.


And on the online chart they move asynchronously.

You don't have to repeat the same thing all the time.

If you have a floating spread, switch to real ticks mode in the MT5, switch to visualisation mode and look at how the spread changes.

Use MT5, it will be asynchronous in the tester.

 
Evgeny Belyaev:

Use MT5, there will be asynchrony in the tester.

But hardly a complete picture there.... unlikely.

 
Alexander Ivanov:

But it's hardly the full picture there.... unlikely.

Do we live...? Unlikely.
 
The quotes will be downloaded from the broker's database. And they can give an incomplete picture of ticks there.


Moreover, they will not take into account asynchrony of Ask and Bid.

Each broker's ask and bid move very differently.
