Replicating Walk Forward Optimization in Signal. Different

Postby MeiHua » 17 Mar 2013

I have been doing walk foward optimization on my signal strategy. I have tried to sew together the out of sample periods, and their parameters to create 1 equity curve analysis that can be done on the chart. I am using YM back point adjusted. Everything compiled correctly, however the trades are not matching what the walk foward optimizer gave me. I was supposed to have over 1000 trades, but when i put the parameters in the strategy. which i double checked. I am only getting 27 trades. Heres a code snippet to understand how the parameters are changing.

Code: Select all

if date >= 1030817 and date < 1040317 then
begin
BBLength = 20;
NumDevsDn = 5;
NumDevsUp = 2;
end ;

if date >= 1040317 and date < 1041018 then
begin
BBLength = 18;
NumDevsDn = 3;
NumDevsUp = 2;
end ;

if date >= 1041019 and date < 1050520 then
begin
BBLength = 34;
NumDevsDn = 1;
NumDevsUp = 3;
end ;
