Strategy for Mesa adaptive moving average

[Melcotran]

Hi Ben,
I never got a response about what I need to send you. I tried one more time to create a backtest strategy with the wizard, but it is not working. It generates a strategy but it is using another indicator. I compared results with my actual trading results and they're nowhere near. What can I do?

Hello,


I'm sorry I missed your last post/email regarding this.

If I recall you were building this in the Strategy Wizard?

I can help set it up if you would like. Give it a try and tell me what it is not doing correctly and I will provide you with assistance.

Note, your backtests will rarely match discretionary trades using the same method. This link will help explain this:

Thank you. It says that the strategy has been generated successfully, but when I try to run in on the back test it seems to be using some other indicator. I used my actual trading results to compare. As you can see in my attachment, the parameters are not correct for this average. I think its using the samplemacrossover instead.

Melcotran,

It looks like you have conflicts in your strategies. The only way to find this conflict is to go one by one. Please remove all your custom strategies and reintroduce them one by one till you find the one causing the problems. Under all normal circumstances especially if you are using the wizard this will not happen.

It may be easier for you to just get yourself a clean slate.
