Bulk backtesting in MT4/MT5

0 replies

1 year ago #281994

After generating AE’s in SQX and performing SQX robustness tests, I always do backtests in MT4/MT5 to see how the EAs perform in a backtest there. However, it’s a massive task to backtest, for example, 100 EAs in MT4/MT5 – it’s practically impossible. So, I started looking for software that can perform MT4/MT5 backtests in bulk.

After much searching, I eventually found this software: https://tradingindicators.com/portfolio-backtester/. It wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, since you had to manually select the timeframe and currency pair for each EA, but it came close. I then sent an email to these people asking if they could add an option to test all EAs in MT4/MT5. The next day, I received an email from Daniel saying that he had built this option into the software. I tested it with 250 EAs in MT4, and it works without any issues.

I thought someone here might find this information useful, which is why I’m sharing it.

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
