Neptune optimizations giving negative results

73_sw

I ran the optimizations on the following time frame: 15/03/2021 - 15/03/2022.
Then I tested it on: 15/03/2022 - 15/04/2022. I keep getting negative results, regardless of the timeline I test the optimizations on.

Positive during optimizations:

Negative during tests:

I followed this guide:

Can you explain why I keep getting negative results and how to fix it (at least partially)?

You need to experiment, market cycles change, and try shorter and longer optimisation periods with shorter and longer forward testing until you get something that works, remember backtests cannot factor in news or market events, I use these robots for entry and manage the trades manually.

This bot is advertised to generate ₇₃% a year -> https://clickalgo.com/eurusd-trading-robot
For a month, I expected to get ₀.5% (or at least something positive).
I tried various settings for simulations (6 or more months prior to the next month) and there are months when they go negative.
I suspect I am doing something wrong and I expect the bots to generate at least something positive (having good settings and a large enough time interval for tests). Otherwise what's the point of activating a bot when they keep losing money 😆

Any other recommendations would be welcome.

I also tried the settings from this post -> https://ctrader.info/d/574-neptune-optimised-settings-july-2022
and I got negative results during backrests on the next month (August)

Hi, I think you may be missing the point about why we backtest and optimize, the results ClickAlgo advertise are simply historical data between two set dates (these are examples only), do not think you will get the same results on new fresh data, the main purpose behind optimising settings and running backtests is to improve the probability of winning in the future.

As I mentioned before I experiment with each symbol until I get good enough results with fresh data and only turn these ones on, I do not use the system for closing trades as I do this myself, as with all trading bots for us retail traders there is no such thing as a click and play and expect to make money. I know a few other experienced traders who also use only 50% of the features and the other 50% is their trading skills.

So far the default settings released in the end of July have shown a positive result on my live account.
Even if new optimised parameters would be released this month, I will still continue to use the settings released in July till I see their performance degrading.
Thanks for the great work Neptune team, your latest update 2.5 seems to have a much better performance than previous versions.
