Been backtesting this using AB and Tradingview. Quite a task for me as a non-programmer.

Finding out a few things not obvious to eyeball testing, especially the importance of the higher TF as Mod said. And I think in real trading I will make far fewer trades.

TV's backtester is accurate but not as good at AB, and Pinescript seems verbose compared to AFL. You can't enter/exit at a specified buy or sellprice, only on the open of the next bar. The equity curve only updates with straight lines, not per bar.

Will be nice if this one holds up in forward testing.

[QUOTE="Gringotts Bank, post: 1198039, member: 9682"] Been backtesting this using AB and Tradingview. Quite a task for me as a non-programmer. Finding out a few things not obvious to eyeball testing, especially the importance of the higher TF as Mod said. And I think in real trading I will make far fewer trades. TV's backtester is accurate but not as good at AB, and Pinescript seems verbose compared to AFL. You can't enter/exit at a specified buy or sellprice, only on the open of the next bar. The equity curve only updates with straight lines, not per bar. Will be nice if this one holds up in forward testing. :D [ATTACH type="full" alt="x.png"]148607[/ATTACH]:nailbiting::D:p [/QUOTE]
