Boinvests Holy Grail Playground

[tonyharmony]

I keep getting this times infinity... any ideas?

Yes,
I was to much in a rush putting together previous version.
So attached is 2u.
Adittionally:
fixed the cashtakeprofit like in the HGB
fixed getnext20 like in the HGB
added lotsize check in order send function

G'day Boinvest, how are you?

Finally found you at last! Your own thread? Great news as I have the HGB v2o from the HGB forum, and was keen to know where you were going from there?

Is the above 2u in post 1?

Kindest regards

Tony

Scratch that Boinvest, I just needed to open my eyes in post 1...

Hi Boinvest,

Great work going on with the HGB EAs and I spent a couple of hours playing with the official version and your variant, to see if I could understand how they would perform over long periods of time. To keep it simple I turned off most trading methods except trend-trading.
I tried to keep the settings for both EAs as close as possible.

This is not a comparison between the two EAs I'm posting in case the developers find anything useful from the tests I did.

I have to get back to working on my own EA's so I'll just present a couple of screen shots.

Running the official HGB I found buy-stops when there was a big red arrow pointing down on the corresponding chart (GBPUSD H4). When I did a similar run for boHGI I found sell-stops a few bars after the big red arrow.

I was able to run HGB with 5 months of crappytester history but I was not able to run boHGB for longer because of different kinds of errors (A: volume mismatch; B: lot size error 131)

Official HGB:


BoHGB for the same period:


I tried to work around these errors by running on different brokers; I gave up with every-tick mode because of the first error and I tried different time-frames but decided to call it a day
and here is an extract from the log about volume issues:

Anyway I hope this information is useful to the developers.

Hi Snail,

I thought the Holy Grail Indicator uses a form of the CSS (Currency Slope Strength) as part of it's logic....Based on this, I would have though back testing was impossible as the EA with HGI Indicator could not see the other currencies in order to determine strength....I might be wrong, but i have not considered doing back testing for that reason....

HGI uses a TMA_Slope no CSS, but right is backtesting makes no sense ..

just delete int before "c" line 1349, this was coded in this way for using #property strict, without it will give you an error

because you will got worse results caused by the way TMA is calculated and by the way crappy backtester works.. you will get nothing else than best case results, over optimistic, as signasl are calculating in way that the HGI knows future, what in reality is never the case..
