I'd like to Share some backtesting data.
Pair: GBP/USD
Time Frame: 1 Hr
Testing Based on Banana Indicator V14.
Trade Management: 1R SL, 3R TP and Move SL to BE at +1R.
The results are astonishing as they are. But what if you were to plot these trades on to your chart.
What if you were to check each tradre one by one and qualify.
Check the 7 Rules of Banana. If it is a DS1 trade, Tag is as DS1.
If it fails the criteria tag at as DS0.
Then check if the results improve or worsen?
Would you like to go over this Testing data and check on your charts....
Eliminate the trades (manually) that do not fit our rules.
Here is the MT4 Strategy Test Data

You can also use this template to plot the same charts. Will work for some people.
Add this to your template folder. Post pictures if it works

Re: BACKTESTING - Share Your Backtesting Results Here
Fascinating - thanks for posting the results Immy. 
I did try the template but the last trade I can see is on the 23rd November for some reason, but I get the idea and the results are amazing.
I am definitely wanting to try a higher timeframe, either H1/M5 or H1 by itself, I am just trying to decide.

Re: BACKTESTING - Share Your Backtesting Results Here
H1 is a very cozy time frame. Still requires you to be active all day but not so active that you can't do anything else. You'll need roughly 5 min each hr for 8 hrs every day, during your WORK from home schedule.Darren wrote: 04 May 2022, 18:50 Fascinating - thanks for posting the results Immy.

Moreover, do you not have more than 6 months data in your mt4? It should show trade arrows on your chart. If you're on pepper and it has that suffix of r maybe that is the reason.
Will you spend time and check the trades on your chart, manually? check the time from the table, its not that many trades. See which ones you could eliminate?
