We have people trying different settings, different versions and an absolute lack of communication from our alleged leader trendinator.
He told us last week he would be away for business, so be patience.Yuggr » Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:36 pm wrote:I agree with Gertje at the moment can’t say I'm holding out much hope for this forward test.

At this early stage, it's already interesting to see the huge differences between the best and worst performers, and I guess that difference will grow as the week progresses. We are eventually going to have to work out why. Some questions that occur to me: did everyone use H4, or did some people use the default H1 TF that charts open? Did everyone use all 28 pairs? Did everyone use ootb settings, or did some people intentionally or unintentionally use their former or favourite settings? With just investor access to accounts, it will be impossible to find out, won't it?
It seems to me that a fast way to move ahead would be for say the 5 best accounts each week to save their setups as a Profile, and post that Profile, so that others can confirm the settings, pairs and TFs. If asked, I for one would be happy to do that - although at the moment, it doesn't look as though my tests are going to be among the best.

I want to make this suggestion again that I posted a few pages back, that the best few accounts be asked to post their Profile so others (you, I guess) can confirm their setup, because at the moment we don't have any way to confirm what their setup was:

Should we also have everyone on the same version of Empty4. Steve does not guarantee his code on the later builds especially 7xx. I am running Version 4.0 Build 645. Steve did post the terminal.exe for the version he uses but I am not sure wheretrendinator » Wed Jan 28, 2015 9:23 am wrote:barry » Tue Jan 27, 2015 3:37 pm wrote:trendinator,

ok sounds like a good idea. perhaps for the next test we could create a profile and get everyone to load that? would that work?
