If they open the format of tst-files andplace the cache folder of the Tester in the sandbox
, it is possible to create Market products of a new type, which will be analysers/correctors of the Tester results.
For example, it will be possible to write a Market-combine that shows all single passes available in the cache.
You select the necessary ones with the mouse and it shows the combined statistics.
It cleans the cache from unnecessary passes.
Calculates the optimal portfolio with appropriate weighting coefficients from the passes.
Shows the best trading intervals for each pass.
Offers its own interactive visualisation of statistics, including filters.
Calculates the optimal MM.
For each hedge position in history shows OrderOpenPriceBest (the best opening price during the lifetime of the position), OrderClosePriceBest (similar), OrderOpenPriceLength (how long the price was not worse than OrderOpenPrice during the lifetime of the position), OrderClosePriceLength (similar), OrderProfitBest (the highest possible profit of a similar position during the lifetime of the original position).
Shows the efficiency of each hedge position.
Calculates the result when latency is enabled.
Calculates the result at different settings (whether they slide, etc.) and commissions.
Shows the result of the TS on a different tick history.
...
You don't need to launch the Tester to implement each item.
All this can be done now, if you put the cache folder into the sandbox via mklink. You only need tst-format.
Whoever feels the strength in himself should probably start writing such a product. I would gladly join the team of its developers and purchase it. The niche is completely empty.
If cache-folder is not sandboxed, there may be an increased chance that similar products will appear outside the MQ ecosystem, as they will be written in other languages.
Examples.
This script corrals real account trading history into tst format. It is imported into the Tester as follows.
It turns out something like this.
DLL-solutions cannot be placed in KB, so below is the source code of another script, which is not included in KB delivery.
This script will automatically pick up the data of the last single pass and output its data, including a balance/equity graph.
Acknowledgements.
Thanks to the developers for creating the Tester caches and helping me to unpack its formats.
