Great work! Thank you for sharing.
I'm having some issues repeating the backtrack results compared to the real world.
I had a strategy running yesterday, it gradually lost money so I stopped it.
When I backtrack that same segment with the same strategy it has way better results.
Server is running on a macbook pro.
Any one who has an idea on this?
Thank you so much!
Do better backtests with longer durations (at least 1 year) of data and also make sure to check different periods
to see how the strategy works in different market conditions (basically there are 3 major conditions: bull, bear and sideways).
That the strategy doesn't always profit is also to be expected and should be expected as well.
This is something you'll clearly be able to see if you check the 'Roundtrips' after a backtest.

I'm new to it and just did the complete setup and read this whole tread.
It looks promising, but if I went to the following Github https://github.com/xFFFFF/Gekko-Strategies and you open some strategies (including the one from Tommie) it almost always made loss instead off profit.
Will look further in this though :-)
Run your own backtests.
