Hey Earl I cant seem to get your settings to work in my backtest... Am I doing something wrong the version I use had the 5 places after the decimal so I dont know if I need to change the inputs.
anyway using what you have here I have a blowout after 18 trades.

1 bottle of 75 year old single malt scotch to the winner...who gets the best resullts...LOL:D

[Willsell]

if your take profit is 10 why would you have a traling stop of 170? You will never exceed 10 pips profit.

Hey Earl are you ready to part with that scotch? I've got the overall win percentage just above 98%

[mystikdragon7]

I'll try posting it later tonight. I'm still messing with a few adjustments.

wasn't it you that asked for fresh eyes ....lol
Weird thing happened to me I have two demo accounts so logic has it that I can conduct two back test at a time. But I can not get oje account to work. I did download the history.

does anyone know why aaa = 20 or bbb = 8 ?????

how did I come up with those numbers????

why not stay with the default???

[Short14]

Earl,,,,, I have no Idea where you came up with those settings.... I have been testing for hours and havent been able to get over 90%

[xixkko]

Hi earl

i really would to know how you came up with those settings and how they help you.

Once i learn more about the fap settings i will share it too.

Thank a lot for sharing with us

[Earl]

that single malt scotch is still ups for grabs.

cmon guys push push push

[Willsell]

This represents over 40 hours non stop testing (getting as bad as Earl).
I would also like to acknowledge Ear's contribution to the settings.

[Earl]

Thanks man for remembering me...I'm really happy to help..

your max lots should be 1 untill you hit 10k + you get better results

willsell we are all working together..thank you soooooooooo much for your input. Positive inputs are going to help us all do well!!!

next year the group of us will be doing better...and we must all get together

From my testing I discovered that max lots has no impact if you are using max orders. Guess I will test this some more on 10K. but for now I am tested out ....lol. Wifey is threatening me with bad looks....lol

I was having some doubts about FAPS (especially the no S/L/) but 40 hours later thanks to you and other members of this forum I am convinced that FAPS will do well for me (now where is that rent money....lol )

try it test for a whole year...with 10k don't touch max order and use auto lots..

the problem is by the 10 or 11th month you are using a lots size of 14+ then you get one big fat massive loss.. that kills your whole account.

when you set your max lots to 6 using autolots....when you get to that 11th month your loss is why less.

it really only helps you if your going to leave your 10k investment for a year. It also takes away the fear of losing your whole account when doing a backtest.


on a 1k account I think the max order should be set at 1 until your investment reaches 10k

confusing..even to me

do the back test and see for yourself

[mystikdragon7]

So what do you think Earl, are we going for overall winning percentage or total net profit?

[Madbear]

I wont make a claim for the single malt as I have just been tinkering with Earl's settings - thanks Earl and everyone else for sharing. These results also represent some serious curve fitting for the time period but here they are for a bit of fun. :)

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyymmmmnnnn....

max lots works great doesn't it!!!!!!!

I'm not sure the MA feature work for backtesting...

I love those numbers...I'm impressed I was going to do the same thing...LOL

when I saw your numbers I was about to call ups to ship out a 75 year old malt....:D

[Madbear]

Unfortunately those settings didnt work that well for the first 7 or 8 months of 2007 but you would be reaping the rewards now for sticking with it!! Perhaps these settings are more appropriate for a falling volatile market and different settings might be appropriate in a low volatile environment. I played around with only trading in the direction of the trend but the results were not as good. Still plenty of room to play with the backtesting feature. :D

I hope we all make some money...and if we monitor the situation maybe someone will catch the turn around and we can adjust:o

[Madbear]

Perhaps the challenge should be to find some settings which were profitable between January and August 2007! Or maybe what happened 18 months ago is irrelevant and the goal should be to make as much cash now before these settings stop working as effectively as they are now!! :D

[Earl]

back testing back years the settings didn't bomb out...I think there is not enough downloaded data.... so it only gives an idea of the direction...

and the direction is up....

only 76000 ticks for a whole year...no way so you know something is wrong

[Earl]

So what do you think Earl, are we going for overall winning percentage or total net profit?
net profit

[Madbear]

The following was my first attempt at backtesting using the trailing stop so there is probably plenty of room there for improvement. This year was probably an ideal one for a trailing stop but may not work quite as well in other years. Looks interesting though.

you got to respect that!!!!:D

Very impressive numbers but the one concern I have about the results are the Modeling quality 37.73% on one test and n/a on the other. Any comments about this? I'm still trying to figure out what's most important with all these numbers.

[Money Munchies]

When you punch in values do you have to make the start, step, stop columns all the same or just leave them. Will it affect the results?

Thanks for putting up with a newbie query :rolleyes:

These settings seem to work best on m15 period. They also seem to work ok on small deposit 1500 with risk less than LRR 3.

[Earl]

Looks good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!finally another setting Great Job Clint!:D

[john225]

Are the settings from clintNZD better then the settings from Earl?

[Earl]

it doesn't look bad...It's another option on the M15 chart...

the more weapons we have the better

SafetyGapDemarker=0.02?? By default is 0.2

Its a error, or you change this setting?

Oh yes I changed the safety demarker setting

[clintNZD]

it doesn't look bad...It's another option on the M15 chart...

the more weapons we have the better

:D

Yes thats right. I have tested these on other time frames and they blow out pretty quickly. The margin for volitility is very tight. There is room for movement between the aaa and bbb settings, but profit level slips a little. I have found by keeping aaa at 13 you move the bbb setting up as high as 28. However the graph on the m15 setting seem very smooth.

Any thoughts on this view?

[Earl]

I think this is a very good option....I'm out of my office today or I would have tested it already...I love the idea of the 15min chart.

have you tried it with any other currency pairs??

[clintNZD]

Well I feel that this forum has really prompted alot of people to test and share different numbers. I think Earls fap tester is a great way to explore new ideas.

Currency pairs...No, not as yet have a go at it. Keen to see what happens, I'll have a go later this eve.

[joames]

Is posible open same system with diferent settings in EURUSD, three graphic by example in Metatrader?, example settings of earl, other graphic with settings of other people? I have it, but it doesnt work..!! Only the first pair, but other dont open positions.

[clintNZD]

Have not tried that as yet. Sounds interesting.

I am having trouble reproducing your results. Can you answer a few questions for me?

a) Which broker's MT4 platform are you using for the back test?

b) are you using the broker's historical data or data you have downloaded from somewhere else?

c) Are you using 10K mini lots or 100K standard lots?

thanks

That is correct FAPS max orders is 0
I tried varying the lotriskreductor 10 was too high 8.5 was the best results 7.5 yielded same results with a delta of 50,0000. for all my test I left Trailing stop at 15. The magic number for TP was 50 . Higher TP yielded less profit. I tested tp at 40, 50,60,100. I did not test at 30 or 20. The trailing stop ranged from 4 pips to 25 pips.

I have a demo account with $830,000 balance which I will set to these settings to see how Faps behaves.

Willsell, the results looks absolutly great. But would you use these settings on a live account??
I don't think you get these results on a live account, do you think?

Why not? The purpose of testing is to derive an optimal strategy for trading.
The testing also reveals how FAPS reacts to market conditions. I'm not saying that you should set it and forget it ...like the hypesters do. Using FAPS and your own decisions will give you more leverage (edge in trading). For Example,
I started with a 50K demo and ran it to 830,000 using a combination of FAPS trades and my own trades. Letting FAPS run and also watching the action I would excute trades aand also close trades when I thought it wise to do so.
In the AM I do some scalping 5-10 Pips .....head off to work leaving FAPS and open scalp trades to run. Come home from work and check results ... do some more manual trades before bedtime. Wakeup and see what is still open.
My closed trades are FAPS and my own. This week I will set FAPS based on my last test. Stay tuned. The trick to using FAPS is to find settings that work in conjunction with your amount invested so that FAPS can ride the waves and not blow out your account. Key words "consistency over time"
