RE: I think I've built something INCREDIBLE!
I was wondering first if you are for real.
With the ideal conditions (market data) metatrader 4 back tests are only 90% accurate. Which is way off.
90% accurate seem pretty darn good but the again I don't understand the context. I once did the Kaggle contest for the Titanic, just learning a tutorial. A model with 80-85% accuracy was very very good and more would just lead to overfitting.
Speaking of the Titanic reminds me of 1 in 60 rule in navigation. For each 1° off over a distance of 60 nautical miles (NM), it will result in 1 NM off course. Now imagine 10° off is 10 nautical miles. In Forex a 90% accuracy is not nearly sufficient for back testing. It is all about the forward test in real time.
OK, can't say I understood a 100% but say 90% ;) So I'll be following along then.
Hahahahahahaha
