Switchback Optimisation Help

abd

I have a questions for the cbot creators, switchback with I bought already , I made optimisation for 1 year from 1-4-2023 till 1-4-2024 , it give me good results with monthly benifet around 25% , and I tested it on the period 1-4-2024 till 1-5-2024 and also get good result, but to be sure and more accurate I made backtest on each past months ( each month I made seperated back test , for example from 1-1-2023 till 1-2-2023 , then another back test from 1-2-2023 till 1-3-2023 , ,,, ) I made this for about 17 bast months separately, and the results were like this : 12 months got very good results with benifet around 25-40% , and 5 months with very bad results from -6 to -100% !! , and iam so afraid to use this parameter set file because i don’t know if I will got the bad results or the good results in future 😔, I already have read and studied the guide of the cbot properties all of it during 2 months with testing it alot more than 2 months with a demo account , what I have to do ? Is there any way to get better results? Or what to do , we can’t depend on the backtest only for 1-3 months that is not accurate I think 🤔, I need help please

Our trading strategies are not fully automated, you need trading experience to use them, optimising and backtesting only improve the odds of successful trades, but you will also need to manage the open trades yourself. Read the article below for additional help.

The Switchback trading system is not the type of strategy to optimise and run with no management of the trades yourself.

Hi, Khasib,

I received your feedback and will try to explain your questions above.

When you optimise and backtest you are data fitting historical data, and you will never get the same results in the future. The reason for optimisation and backtesting is to give the system the best chance of opening trades in the right direction. You can experiment using 1-month, 3 months, 1 year or 10 years of backtesting, but as I explained above you cannot reply on this system to trade for you automatically, it is designed to open trades at the right time and you as the trader will need to monitor them and close them if the markets change.

The markets are unpredictable and anything could happen to lose money, this is why we stress that you need a solid understanding of trading the markets to use an automated trading system.

The link I provided above in my last message explains in detail why you optimise and backtest.

So to recap, you will never know what the results will be in the future, the markets could move due to a social media tweet, war or any other world event.

My advice on what to do, is to learn to trade manually and use this system as an assistant and not a fully automated trading system.
