Parameters from optimisation do not give same result when back tested
Parameters from optimisation do not give same result when back tested

Hi there, I have optimised USDCAD using a cbot. When I apply one of the results from optimisation and back test using the same dates and amount I do no get the same results. For example in the optimistion it shows the maximum drawdown is 27% where as when i back test it just blows the account. I discussed with the guys at clickalgo and they just its platform error and i need to speak to you. Please help

Hi, P,
I attempted to help the customer on telegram, apparently, they are using the same backtest settings for both the backtest and the optimisation modules, but when they run an optimisation and apply the settings to the cBot and then run a backtest, they say the results differ with the same time period.
Hi, Dachoor,
What we need is a screen-shot of the results from the optimisation module showing the results and the cBot parameters as well as a screen-shot of the backtest showing the results and the cBot settings.
- Run the optimisation, highlight the pass you want to save the parameters for and click Apply
- Show a screenshot image of the optimisation settings that have been applied together with the start and end date of the test.
- Show a screen-shot of the optimisation backtest settings.
- Show a screenshot of the backtest settings together with the parameter settings that have been applied.
- Show a screenshot of the backtest results with the same date and time.
If the customer can provide the information above it should highlight the problem.
Paul.

Hi Paul,
There are some known issues with optimization results therefore we will need some source code to reproduce this behavior and determine if this is one of them or a new one that we will have to look into.

Hi dachoor,
To be able to check this issue, you need to provide us with the cBot code, the optimization parameters and your broker so that we can reproduce this behavior.

Hi dachoor,
You can post the source code and images of the parameters and optimization results here. But as far as I understand, this is a commercial product therefore you probably have no source code. If Paul can send us some code privately, we can have a look.
Best Regards,
Panagiotis
