I am optimizing currently, I am doing it in three parts per module on a 1-min bar from server on an hour chart with a fixed spread of 5 as is the average on ICmarkets.
then I backtest it on a tick chart ofcource.
I would optimize on a tick chart but it is unusually slow, especially compared to the wonderful neptune package that has many more variables to test.
would you advice me to do something different?
I am not surprised that it needs user optimization given different brokers and types of trading accounts.
But I have high hopes for this bot as the results are really good outside of those few cases.
If I would have knowledge to do so and access to the source code I would add a drawdown percentage stopper as a safeguard that cuts the positions and stops the bot on a given percentage and possibly notifies via telegram or email that it has stopped.
Ill test it out for a week before asking for a refund. :)
