Problem with MTF Advisor

Post by rever27 »

Good Morning. Sorry for my English, I'm from Russia ;)
I have a problem with testing MultiTimeFrame advisor.
Advisor finds a singal at TF D1, then at H4 and after at H1 TF. And at H1 he opens a trade.

So I tested it, using quotes 90% from my Broker, and switch TF period in tester(H1, H4, D1). The result is same for all three TF

After I tested through your programm. Results at H1 and D1 are nearly similar, but H4 - different.

How can I be sure in correctness of 99% quotes, when H4 and D1 gave my different value?
And what TF I need to choose for testing MTF Advisors?
Thank you

Hi Rever27,

Please note that we unfortunately don't assist trouble-shoot specific EAs. In your case, you will need to compare what the differences there are in the buy/sell triggers of your EA that could cause this. Check an individual trade and compare it to see why there are differences. When working in the H4 timeframe, it is unlikely that it's tick data that's causing the issue unless your EA is sensitive to spread and/or is a scalper. In the first instance, I would be comparing the H4 open/high/low/close and whatever parameters that cause the EA to trigger.

Regarding what TF to use when testing multi-timeframe advisors, this would depend on how the EA is coded and is best answered by the vendor.

Hope this helps.
