Sid

Here 
is an example of where I found data discrepancies:

The 
discussion on the backtest result differences did not resume after this.  
FWIW I get the same results as you two.

QP2 data

I am seeing the same results. My results 
with QP2  are shown below (and attached).  Is suspect the difference 
is a result of minor discrepancies in the data which points to the pitfalls in 
tuning/optimization.  Having said that, I ran a simple D1/D2 optimization 
and wasn't able to improve the results substantially (perhaps a factor of 
30%). I have attached the optimization results in the zip file.

I am not aware of the data source that Dimitris 
uses - probably been mentioned earlier.
 
Cheers,
 
Richard

Subject: [amibroker] QP2 data
Question for QP2 users.  Did you try DT's HL script? 
If you did, were there any trades for 2002?When I ran it here 
using the QP2 plugin and AB 4.06.1 there were no 2002 trades and a 
return if ~565%.  When I look at all the trade arrows I find many 
sells in 2002 but no buys at all.  I then tries all the d1/d2 
values from 1-144 and still found n 2002 trades. ?????I am wondering 
whether there is some sort of problem with the QP2 plugin or if the 
trading idea is so sensitive to particular price values to cause this 
curious problem.Ideas?SidYour use
