Hi
We need highly competent EA testers to do comprehensive testing of the next upgrade of the RSI Trendline EA. It is a very important upgrade. Independent testing is so much more believable than our own in house testing results.
Our initial tests show that this EA is showing signs of being run using universal settings for any currency, timeframe and market phase. It is also showing very strong signs of profitable hedging where the EA will be profitable where both a buy and sell entry is made simultaneously for a very high range of settings. These are ground breaking capabilities.
So what we expect from our experienced EA testers is: –
- To optimise 1 currency using the 15 minute and 1-hour time frames using the last 6 months of history and any other history period the tester deems appropriate. The optimisation needs to be done of a non-hedged and a hedge basis to access the differences.
- Test the hedging function to assess it as a function where the hedging provides increased profitability, lower drawdowns and to determine the range of settings which will apply profitable hedging. In other words, if 3 million settings are tested what % of those settings result in positive results.
- We then need the final optimised results in 1 to be run on tick data and broker data using the “Open Prices” and “Every Tick” to assess the differences in results. So there will be 4 final results.
- Do tests to find universal settings that will work on any currency and any time frame. That is basically running the settings obtained from the tested currency in 1 on 8 others.
- Comment on any EA improvements motivated by the test results.
Testers
The above test requires advanced EA testing skills and no testing training will be given. The tester should already have tick data in place and be using that currently. They should be able to work independently.
During the testing, testers will be able to communicate with each other and share results and discuss findings amongst each other.
Besides in house testing, the user testing above is anticipated to take up to a week. Working with a team of testers should be interesting. Comprehensive testing guidance will be given prior to when testing starts to make sure testers follow the same process and the results are reported on a consistent basis. Should be fun.
Please apply
If you think you have the skills to help us with this important final user testing process, please contact me directly motivating your testing competency. Also please mention the broker data you will be using. In return for the testing, the tester will receive a lifelong licence for the EA.
Kind Regards
