Re: The Forward Testing Thread
Keith Driscoll has pointed out that if you reduce the odds range on the ZPL's to 10 you get a much smoother ride. Yes you lose profit, but he is right and I think I prefer this.
On a side note, I love the new topic option in the forum. Tidier.

@Keith-Driscoll Ahh no worries, I will remember that when making Lay strategies. Thank you!
-
@Jonathan-Jones Got you. Yeah it does take a pretty big dive. Same thing with LTBF, a really bad month puts things back drastically

The version with the odds limit reduced to 10. Sure there are no BIG ups and downs but you hit a high in Feb 22, then take a reasonable hit and although it just bimbles up and down you dont get back to that Feb high till some point in October. You would need to have some faith to follow that all the way through.

@Jonathan-Jones said in ZPL's:
Ouch. Thats one hell of a strategy to actually follow in real life. Thats pretty much an 8 month drawdown using the 10 odds
What do you mean? The strategy seems pretty stable with the backtesting?

@John-Folan @Keith-Driscoll What were you looking at in the data to come to this decision? I've had a look at both versions, but nothing is jumping out at me other than the profit difference, no matter which breakdown I choose to sort the data by. So it would be really helpful to try and understand your thought process. Thank you.
I've been laying for over 20 years, and the value cut-off price for any lay system has always worked out at 10.0-11.0, regardless of the strategy used. The more you go above 11.0, the more your bank will bounce around, and the less value you get compared to those under 11.0.
Betting is about value, you want the most you can get.

@Martin yeah sounds good. I’ll send you my version too.
It’s only temporary because I want to revisit all my strategies after the favourite update
rules_export.json
This is my version -

@John-Folan no problem mate. I’m out all day too. Shame the weathers not on board though!
-
@Dan-MacKinnon do you want the version I'm using at the moment? It's same odds but much more stable (well so far)

I’ve reduced my liability on LTBF. I think anyone who traded during “The Bloodbath of May” (as Karl put it) has probably done the same.
@John-Folan has this changed the forward testing post?
I think it’s wise too. I’ll change the bot and the software file tomorrow. Out all day today.

@John-Folan I took that approach with LTBF it's all about minimising variance for me, especially the higher you go as a trader.
