Strategy Tester And Expert Advisors

I made a video some time ago for one of my students and in it I explained how to go about testing your expert advisors. One of the things I mention in the video is the fact that due to the way Strategy Tester works, it's never to be trusted 100%

Now initially that may sound a bit shocking to you but it's really not that big a deal.

The Strategy Tester in MT4 isn't intended to give you a reliable representation of exactly how an expert advisor will perform in a live market. If you think about it for a moment the idea that it ever could is a bit ridiculous.

By it's very nature the live Forex market is unpredictable just like everything else in life that involves human interaction. (more…)

After extensively researching around for a coach to fast-track my ability to code Expert Advisors, I came across Steve Fleming. Right from the beginning I found Steve to be very helpful and motivating, within five weeks of coaching I am coding my first EA. Programming is just like any other skill in life, it takes time to learn and I know without a coach like Steve, it would have taken me months to learn MQL.

I came to Steve with the aim of learning how to write expert advisors. With his great teaching style and structured course I have been able to learn an enormous amount and have been able to write a number of expert advisors myself. As I develop various systems and sometimes come across issues Steve is always a great source of help. I look forward to developing more expert advisors and using Steve as a mentor as and when required.

Working with Steve has really cleared the fog for me as it relates to writing my own EA’s. I had no prior code writing experience.
