anyone else having an issue getting the graphs to display? It does the loading circle animation for me, but when it finishes, it's still just a blank graph section. the code and backtest simulation areas appear working, just the graph is broken.
edit : problem appears to have gone away. havent had any issues the past couple days... except with my fail contest entry :-P

That buy'n'hold link appears to actually be going to the EMA crossover example. Edit: LoL buy'n'hold looks like it'll be the winner yet again... unless we get a big slide back down. 2013-08-18 17:00 Simulation started. Balance: 1000.00 USD 2013-08-18 17:00 BUY 8.770 BTC at 113.39 2013-08-27 16:00 Simulation completed. Balance: 8.770 BTC (1141.63 USD) |

I just realized that some of the latest changes to the platform changed the way how the code is handled, see also here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=222696.msg3087218#msg3087218If you open my entry you see for example the statistcs at the bottom displayed correctly, but if you click backtest again all is zeroed out. There has obviously been some change in how the storing of variables in the context object is handled, and this doesn't only affect the stats, even if for the July timeframe the result stays the same. It all worked fine when I posted my entry, so please change it back? Can't just change the rules in the middle of the contest ... ;-) |

OK, i see what happened. The problem is caused by careless merging of the code related to real trading mode, where orders are processed asynchronously. Should be fixed by now. Sorry for confusion.

It seems marvinrouge's MACD algo started to overcome Buy'n'Hold strategy.
It's a narrow margin, it could not be enough if the trend reverse in the next hours, as it seems (my algo will buy if we'll exceed 131 in the next hours). |

difficult to beat the market at the moment, but it is possible. the question is how will it work in future conditions? I think there is a basic flaw in standard backtesting which is easy to overcome (not so much a flaw but a disadvantage), but my programming isnt quite up to it, Im working on it

Is the default trading fee that you're backtesting with the .6% of mtgox? Or are you using 0% commission fee?

the difficulty with beating the market currently is the fact that most of the substantial jumps and losses were caused by huge volume swings with no real precursors. There's no good way to predict someone coming along in a slow moving market and in one swoop making a huge purchase/sale. No trend gets established, just BAM, huge change. the sharper the angle of the upswing or downswing, the harder to 'trend'. the more curvy, the easier. the shorter your timescale, the more you can see the curve to a mass purchase / sell, but then you also subject yourself to other issues. tis a balance between looking at big picture, missing finer detail, vs looking in close, seeing details, but also being thrashed by false signals Is the default trading fee that you're backtesting with the .6% of mtgox? Or are you using 0% commission fee?
If you click on the "settings" tab next to the "log" tab, you will see that the bot defaults to 0.55 trading fee. One step up from the 'base' gox fee. |

I like to watch the 15 minute charts, but base my technicals on 1 or 4hr. 9/21 EMA -> 36/84 sort of thing, using a multiplier. |
