Firstly, I love this and think its great.

However...

I backtested the recommended settings for BTC-e for 1 week....all fine.  Tidy little profit.

I then fucked around with the settings for next half an hour to an hour, and upon returning to the original settings the backtest results were different.

Why is this?  My numbers are exactly the same.


Well, I'm not exactly sure, but I'd speculate that the thing that creates the difference is the price of BTC/USD as the live price is always fluctuating, so may have changed in that 30-60 mins that you were tweaking the settings. If say the price was $830 and when you first backtested, it's probably not going to be the exact same price when you backtested it slightly later, it might be $825 or $840 or whatever and I'd suspect that this difference would be responsible for the difference in the backtesting results.

Just a thought.

I think that is quite confusing.
If i am backtesting at 9:30 and it gives a X gain result, and then i backtest again at 9:31 i get another one.

I think the backtest should always be based on the 0:00 + the time period (hourly/2h/6h/etc) + the tick offset
not on timenow() + the time period (hourly/2h/6h/etc) + the tick offset



Let's imagine i try to create a comparative table of backtests to choose the best one i prefer

If I am backtesting on Hourly with 0 tick offset, i think is confusing to consider that the backtest is the timenow() + 0 offset because the timenow() is changing all the time so i cannot rely on the data of my own table after 5 minutes have passed.

I think it could be more clear always basing the backtests on the 0:00 hours (like 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, etc for hourly) and i you want to have your trades to execute at 0:45 you can configure the offset to +45 minutes. Like that you will be able to create a comparative table and get some conclusion.

Does it make any sense?

Cheers,


Thanks guys, that clears it up.

Hey newbies,

Its important to remember that there are other alternative forums out there, this isn't the only one!

Most alt currencies have their own forums with dedicated members and regular giveaways!

For example the Peercoin one is here: http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?action=refferals;refferedby=28602

Sail safe!

I screenshotted one!

Peercoin (PPC) is the best alt, along with Litecoin.  Others are already collapsing as people now realise they are useless (see: FTC)

Peercoin is the best alt, Litecoin is ahead because its the 'original' alt. This has been discussed to death.

I will update the thread tomorrow as only a couple of people have made suggestions so far. I will post up the answer in this thread and I will also send a message to the winners on Twitter. Anyone who has participated can send me their BTC address early if they wish. Smiley

n particular they use the classic zero-sum argument that says that for whoever makes $1 from bitcoin, someone else has lost $1.

That makes absolutely no sense.

Anarchy would never ever ever work.  Human nature is not anarchical but hierarchical.   
What's natural about tyranny?

You mean like whats natural in predator animals killing others for fun?
15  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Mistake sending bitcoin to terracoin address on: November 17, 2013, 10:51:35 PM
the only way i can think of is to back up both wallets and import the back up from terracoin wallet into the bitcoin wallet and send them to your bitcoin address. its pretty complex and could cause alot of trouble if done wrong. it might be worth pming vm1990 he charges a fee but might be worth it

Just backup everything first if you do do this then you have the originals all in one place if it fucks up

I have noticed lots of real-time pageviews and we have had our first guesses in. Good luck people. Tongue

Any update on this OP?

No worries we have a backup plan. Its called Litecoin

Don't forget Peercoin!

Also: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=334316.0

But I would question the validity of this website.
