Strategy trading differently in backtest

1 replies

5 years ago #234482

Hi there. I wonder if this is a known bug?

Through random generation, I have created a breakout strategy where the average trade duration is 0.81 bars (H1 time frame) which is great. When I run backtests though, the trades open and close instantly. While roughly 45% of trades should be winners, the backtest shows about only 6% are winners and basically all trades seem to open and close instantly.

I’m not sure why the trades open and close instantly. Clearly the strategy shouldn’t be operating this way. Is there a known cause of this type of behaviour?

I have generated other strategies with the tick data I’m using for this and the same problem has not occured before.

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.
