Hello sle, I am not understanding your comments in detail, its a very complex writings. Let me ask. Is the below picture I drew the goal of all system developers? I just drew this cause I just start this journey. If I test a strategy that come close to that picture, I am trading it. Please...

Hello boza, In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with curve fitting a system perfectly using in sample data. Just make sure once you have it curve fitted how you want, you test the system again using out of sample data. Split the sample date 50%. 50% data for in sample and another 50% data...

Hello nooby_mcnoob https://www.speedytradingservers.com/ I use this before and the service is terrific. I also use NinjaTrader and the service is terrific and free. Keep it simple, why build something that is already built and ready for use.

Hello all, Just an update. So I wanted to backtest an intraday-strategy I been working with using static stop loss versus using ATR(Period) times a Multiple as the stop loss. I wanted to see how the drawdown and average trade loss looks testing both. Optimization Period: 2006-2011 Instrument...
