Right now, a friend and I have been working on a Moving Average trader. Developed the code, tested, backtested, tesed more, added code, etc, etc, etc. Did that for almost a year straight. Finally, we put it up live on InterbankFX on January 1st and it has been doing quite well ($1000 to 19000 as Febuary 16th).
I have started to experience some difficulty with InterbankFX, so I am honestly wanting to switch to a different company, and I was thinking about FXDD. Problem is, I have no real history data with FXDD to test out the numbers (because each company has different prices, opening times, volume, etc). Just curious if a couple people who have had demo/live accounts with real data, would be willing to test it and share the results so I can see if I am going to need to change the settings for FXDD.
Also, please if you do the testing, I am not wanting test results from the *downloaded* items, since those come from MetaQuotes, and is just honestly terrible data. I would like to get tests of people that have had charts open for the past couple months, to test real life data. If anyone is willing, I would truly appreciate it.
The Currency that it is built for is the GBP/USD 5minute. And you need the Zerolag MA indicator to use the program successfully, so I will upload that too. If you get great results, use it if you want, the file won't expire or anything. Again, I know it works on Interbank, very well. Backtesting is great, and so is live forward testing. Just want to see how it fares on other trading companies. Enjoy the trading. And thank you very much.
P.S. Also, if testing this, don't do multiple year backtesting. I would say the furthest to go back would be about October 2006. The reason I say this, is because I have found that I have to reoptimize every couple of months to keep it running smoothly. But if you do have valid data to back test even further, I would be curious how it turns out never-the-less.
Test Parameters for what I do Backtest and how the lots are setup for the script. If you wish to do different amounts, you must change the lots-variable number. How it is setup, it will trade 4 standard lots with $10,000 at a lots variable fo 250. If you put it at 500, it will start off with 2 standard lots, and so on.
