Hello everyone,

I’m seeking some guidance regarding the implementation of the SQX strategy in MT5 and have encountered a couple of issues that I hope to get some clarification on.

1. Walk Forward Matrix Testing and Exporting MQL5 File

After conducting the Walk Forward Matrix test, I received a recommended combination labeled as WF:10 runs : 20% OOS. Does this indicate that I should adopt this specific group of parameter combinations for my strategy?

Additionally, I proceeded by clicking on the “Apply params to strategy” button located in the bottom right section of the screenshot provided. This action directed me to the “Source Code” section, where I selected “Save to file” to export the MQ5 file. Is this the correct procedure to follow for exporting and applying the recommended parameters to my strategy?

2. Discrepancies Between SQX Dukascopy Data and Real Broker Settings

Another concern I have pertains to the data used during strategy generation and testing. I’m currently utilizing SQX’s internal Dukascopy data. However, the instrument settings within this data differ from those of my actual brokers, such as IC Markets, Darwinex, FTMO (Prop Firms), and The5ers (Prop Firms).

As a result, before deploying the EA live, I need to load it onto each respective platform and perform individual tests. While sometimes the results are comparable—especially when I backtest using historical periods that have already occurred—there are still noticeable discrepancies.

Specifically, I am uncertain about the correct configuration for the following variables within the EA:

  • Money Management
  • Use Tick Size from SQ (for CFDs)

Despite making adjustments to these settings, I haven’t observed any changes in the backtest outcomes. Could the official support team provide guidance on the proper configuration of these variables? Additionally, it would be incredibly helpful if future updates could include features that simplify the setup process, ensuring that users can deploy strategies without facing performance biases due to incorrect instrument settings.

Summary of Questions:

  1. Should I use the WF:10 runs : 20% OOS combination recommended by the Walk Forward Matrix test?
  2. Is the process of exporting the MQ5 file through “Apply params to strategy” -> “Source Code” -> “Save to file” correct?
  3. How can I accurately configure the Money Management and Use Tick Size from SQ (for CFDs) variables to align SQX data with my actual broker settings?

Any assistance or insights from the community or the official team would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Its possibly hard to get such questions answered from the public.
I would recommend you to directy adress thi to the support using e-mail, they are very competent and helpful.

I can only give you an answer with some general knowledge.

 

I’m writing to seek further clarification regarding a few aspects of the SQX strategy implementation in MetaTrader 5, specifically concerning the Walk Forward Matrix and discrepancies between Dukascopy data and real broker settings.

  1. Walk Forward Matrix Testing
    After completing the Walk Forward Matrix test, I received a result suggesting WF:10 runs with 20% Out-of-Sample (OOS) data. From my understanding, this indicates that I should consider this specific set of parameter combinations, as they have been tested for robustness across various market conditions. Would you recommend fully adopting this result, or should further refinements be made before live deployment? I would appreciate insights on how much weight to place on this result versus additional testing.
  2. Exporting MQL5 File
    To apply the recommended parameters, I clicked on “Apply params to strategy” and subsequently used the “Save to file” function in the “Source Code” section to export the MQ5 file. Can you confirm if this is the correct procedure, or if there are additional steps I should follow to ensure the optimized parameters are accurately reflected in the exported EA?
  3. Data Discrepancies Between SQX and Broker Platforms
    I’ve noticed significant discrepancies when testing strategies generated with SQX’s Dukascopy data on real broker platforms such as IC Markets, Darwinex, FTMO, and The5ers. While sometimes the results are consistent when testing past data, there are still notable variations. Specifically, I’m unsure how to best configure the following within the EA:
  • Money Management
  • Use Tick Size from SQ (for CFDs)

Despite making changes to these settings, I haven’t observed much impact on backtest results. Could you provide guidance on the appropriate configurations for aligning SQX data with broker-specific settings? It would also be helpful if future updates could streamline this process to avoid performance biases caused by incorrect instrument settings.
