I don't use data from Empty4 strategy tester anymore. I use M1 Dukascopy tickdata downloaded from StrategyQuant software. Then I use TickDataSuite to format data in the wanted TF. It works on Empty4 Strategy tester for any broker.

Hi phil ! What do you think about the last discussion ?
Reading the stuff here again and again - I'm as previously confused.
I know phil doesn't use the Empty4 really. So what can trader fellows report about their Empty4 results (settings, brokers etc.) ? IT seems this bot is doing very well for someone - so, who is that ?

Hi mirador,

Did you try to optimize with other pairs ?
From Philippe's account it seems that GBPUSD has the best result among the pairs.

Cheers

Here are better settings for EURUSD in .set file
AUDUSD coming soon, GBPUSD will be next

These are more agressive settings. DD is between 35% and 40%.

Just beware, backtesting results vary from a broker to an other, so optimized settings may vary too.

It's not easy to optimized because changing one parameter could affect other already optimized. I need to better understand all the parameters. There are so many.

UseStochH4ToTakeTrade activate StochH4LevelMax
UseTakeProfitOn3Macd activate DeltaPipsInterMacdToClose
UseStochToConfirmCloseOn3Macd also related to DeltaPipsInterMacdToClose

Am I right ? Are they other related parameters that I should know ?

Thanks

Hi Mirador,

35%-45% DD seems a bit high...it seems to suggest your risk setting is too high.
Have you checked what is the reason for the high DD ?
