I have been running back testing on the settings provided with Gold and keep coming up with HUGE losses on this and each other pair I have tried it on? I have saved the set file and am loading it to Dark Venus as is. I have been playing about with settings all weekend and at one point managed to get the profit really high (over 700 on a 1k account with 0.5% risk) and the drawdown really quite low (between 8-8.8%), saved the set file and ran it again and it is completely different now… I’m new to trading and this is really confusing and frustrating me that the tests are so inconsistent. Any ideas if or where I am going wrong here? Thanks
Hi Matt,
Where are your set files please? Interested to back test some as am trying to work out sets for 1, 5, 15 minute charts, as well as 1 & 4 hour. Learning as I go so haven’t linked anything to live yet. But so far the 15 min set I have looks good. Though keen to get DD lower than 8.8% but when I try, it almost halves the profit…
Hi, new to trading and currently back testing Dark Venus on Gold for a 15min Chart.
I have managed to optimise the settings a bit and can sit with either 10.93 or 15.03 Profit Factor, depending which settings I am using. This is based on a $1000 account, back tested over a 6 month period, at 0.5% risk and lot size of 0.01. It works out at a 75-78% win rate on both short and long trades.
I cannot get the drawdown to reduce from the current 8.8% without halving the profit. But I think the DD rate is ok?
Also, any suggestions how to amend this to make it work on a 5min Chart for Gold to scalp?
The current settings on the 15min Chart are only executing approximately 1.5 trades per week.
Thanks
