Hi there.

I need to backtest an Expert Advisor on 2 different brokers, same platform (metatrader 4) but the results are different. I can get 90% accuracy on a broker, but on the other I get no more than 25%.

I have tried to follow the instructions on http://www.solutionsfx.com/tools/howto1_en.html, but something is missing since I still not get the required 90%.

Anyone can help me with this issue?


Best regards

Paulo

Start your test no earlier than the earliest time for which you have 1 minute history

I would expect results to differ between brokers - even between demo & live accounts on same broker.

The difference in modelling quality points to the origin of the data being different?

Did you 'Download History' on one account?

This would have given you MT data - which would be.. smoother - but not relevant to the brokers tick pattern, server response etc

BarrowBoy,


I have tried to download data from metatrader itself, but no satistied with results.

I get better results using the method described on www.solutionsfx.com


Thank you
