Hi TraderNin

I agree those results look pretty good. The key things I look at are the max drawdown which I like to be less than 10% but preferably less than 5%, but just as important is the ratio of total net profit to max drawdown, in this case the net profit is 18% which is almost 3x the max drawdown - that's a good risk/reward imo - nice work for your 1st try!

Have you tried running the EA for the prior year (or the year before that even) to the date range in your test and did you get similar results? That'll indicate how robust the EA is in that market.

Cheers, Sharks

Hi Sharks

I think I have to download the historical data which tradeview has kindly provided in the workshop if I'm not mistaken because when I tried to run for 3 years 2015-2018 the result is similar so I suspect my platform only provides 1 year worth of data. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

Did you create a separate backtest MT4 like they've asked in the workshop? I've skipped that part so wondering if that's the issue.

Cheers
