Hello, I would like to ask you a question. I have seen that you have been doing backtesting since 2017 or 2018 and my question is when I try to do an optimization for more years. Since 2013, for example, the DD has risen a lot. And as a general rule, good optimizations after 5 or 6 years fail. What do you think, is it necessary so many years?
Thank you

Thank you. I started to program it myself.
I'm looking for a utility that will notify Telegram when the Drawdown is >=X, but I can't find it.

In my case, what I am doing is with some Indicators that tell me the DrawDown in real time (PZ Risk Management y pz_balanceGuardianEA) and an audible alarm that warns me when it exceeds a certain value (>20% I'm already worried) and with a DrawDown > =50%, I insert double the capital into the account to reduce it by half and I stop the martingale while I think about any change in strategy. The Any To Any close at $1 helps me reduce martingales.
Thanks Ulysses, the truth is that I once closed operations manually trying to upload lots and with reverse operations, but quite badly. It is difficult to optimize the strategy when you already have operations underway. What bothers me is that, in the end, there are very few operations that go wrong over time but destroy the entire strategy.
It was (and still is in part) also my million-dollar question.
I generally do this: optimize to the best of my ability from 2020 to today and then forward test...into the past! If it passes at least from 2018 (preferably 2016) to now it can go into production.
Luckily for me I have a network of very powerful 6x 5950x computers and can afford to do a ton of backtesting.
I have not yet found the holy grail though but if I do I will let you know :-P
Thanks for the advice, I also optimize at least before Covid-19 and then look at previous years to see if something can be fixed. Sometimes raising the SL or lowering the lots works.

As you mentioned, I don't think there is a perfect strategy and in the end there is always a year that fails. What I think about a lot is how to change my strategy before something happens that leaves me without money, but I guess this will be the million-dollar question. ;-))

create a system where you will open trades that do not follow the ongoing trend... where the strategy will cover floating minuses into pluses. In this EA there are things like this, for example Martingale, Hedge, Min Size, Lot Exponent, etc
So learn, in fact, every broker has good ones, some are cunning in playing with slippage spreads and so on...
stay safe and stay healthy
