Neptune , once optimization and backtesting , no trades after 6 days.

Crossi

Good morning,

I downloaded Neptune for 10 markets. Made the optimization and back testing for 2hour and 4 hours as suggested by your handbook.( 1 year time) . Now I changed the settings on market news ( both yes) and played on the instrument.
Since last Friday no trades were done.
I understand the stagnation but this week some moves on the market has been seen.
Any suggestions? Any settings I should have changed before going live?

Hi, can you share your settings here as a cbotset text file, you can save them from cTrader Automate and upload them in a reply using the file upload button. I will run tests to see what is wrong.

I'll try tonight. Now travelling. Thanks

I only needed a single symbol to test, I removed all the others.

I ran a backtest for 1 year and there were only 42 trades, this equates to 3.5 trades per month, in the past week there were no trades, the issue is that you have very few trades, this is not a bad thing, many trades do not mean more profit.

Thanks for the reply.
But if you consider that I put 10 strategy to work , means around 420 trades per year . 35 per month. So I thought that in 6 days I would have expected around 8 trades per week. But nothing yet . That's the reason I contacted you to understand that the settings are correct.( note that in the live file a clicked yes in both square for news manager). Should I unmarked them both ?

If you have not installed and set up the news manager, but select this in the Neptune cBot no trades will open. Turn this feature off. You can easily see if you have any errors in the cBot log. The settings you provided show the news manager off.

Thanks,

I turn them off. Let's see. Keep you posted.
