MrNJW I'm trying to backtest the Aieden Supertrend strategy on a daily timeframe using the settings I uploaded, but even though on the chart it shows at least 6 trades in the past 12 months, whilst backtesting I get none. https://clickalgo.com/supertrend-trading-system Does this system only work on lower timeframes? 40-aieden-supertrend-strateg-eurusd-d1.cbotset2kB
Mike Hi, I just loaded your settings and ran a 1 year backtest, there were 7 trades. fixed spread set to 0.3 in backtest settings, if your spread is set higher in the BT settings, no trades will open.
MrNJW Hello Mike, thank you for your quick reply. I tried your solution and it does work on m1bar data, but when I switch to tick data I still get no trades, even if I set Max Spread and Max Slippage to (ridicilously) high amounts.
Mike If you look at the cBot log you will see the message "max spread reached", the tick data contains the spread and it looks like the spread widened when there were trade signals above the 2 pips, I set the max spread setting to 10 and it worked fine on tick data with 1 min & daily timeframe.
