Test The Trading Advisers.
In most cases, traders, for which the Forex market is the main place of work, just steal other people’s ideas of trade. But as practice shows, most of these ideas do not give a result of profit. And this is a reasonable explanation. The fact is that the trading strategy, which is created by the author of the idea, best suits the author’s personal preferences of such tactics or strategy.
It is therefore very important to understand that the best way to achieve this goal will be to construct your own vision of the concept of the market. In this case, the Forex market will look completely different in the eyes of the trader, therefore, it will be other ways and methods of the trade that would lead to getting and achievement high results in trading.
Make sure that when you constructing an advisor you have taken into consideration the rule of liquidity and that the entry and exit prices are allowed. Check again your trading advisor and actions (this is extremely fundamentally). It was created a lot of trading advisors, which gave excellent results, but after their detailed study it found that it is unrealistically to apply them in practice.
Change the date of starting check two or three times, if the results remain positive, you will be able assume that your system has passed the test. Change the value of characteristics or variables of your sale advisor. Change in turn – when have changed one value – check the system, changed the other values – test the system.
Schedule of tools should be correct, check the static data such as the Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, the tolerance, the largest drop and time, necessary for restoration of amplitudes. It all depends on the degree of risk you are willing to accept, but it is ideally to choose only the advisers which have: the highest Sharpe ratio, the highest Sortino ratio, the smallest deviation, the smallest tolerance.
The time of restoration of the amplitudes is the more fundamental factor. This is the average number of days needed for that the value of the currency was such as to the occurrence of a recession. If the price is the highest, you will have to wait quite a long time before recovery and as a rule, almost all traders throw their Forex trading strategies on it, and it is – one of the huge mistakes because at the beginning just recovered system will display the beautiful results. (This happens all the time). These tests are restrictive, and most likely after testing of own Forex adviser on the above aspects, you will refuse it.
But when it comes to work with real tools, it is good to remember the famous saying: “seven times measure, cut once” б that is why do not be disappointed and begin to compile the new one, of course, having analyzed the past mistakes.
