If you feel like you're overfitting (or even if you don't think that), might be a good idea to forward-test in SIM until your algo proves itself, then move to one real-money micro, and only scale up when your gains support doing so.
I like it. Only thing is getting access to more historical data. I could only download tick data just under 3 years. Warning to all, forward sim trading in MT5 will not allow you to take limit orders in futures. All your trades are market orders.
Thanks for the advice, I wanted to test the execution of the algo in real environment thus skipped the SIM part and went straight to Micro, and realized still need some work on the order handler… i will try it again finger cross
Thanks for the heads up, for me the real tick takes bit too long to run in optimization I ended up using 1M ohlc. My plan is to test it for a week on my old laptop then getting a vps, are you using the MT5 one?
No trades today since AMP raised margins all the way till FOMC. Just made a rule to avoid that condition
