EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT

Opt My Strategy - Software For MetaTrader MT4 and MT5

Coming soon!

We are currently in the latter stages of beta testing and expect to release the MT5 version
within the next 2 weeks. The MT4 version will follow approximately 2 months later.

Interested? Get in touch via our contact page, letting us know if you're
interested in MT5 or MT4, and we'll let you know once it's available.

  • What is OMS?...

    OMS operates in conjunction with the MetaTrader Strategy Tester, utilizing interfaces that are fully supported and documented by MetaQuotes.

    By combining the strengths of MetaTrader and OMS, the result is something more valuable than the sum of the parts. You will have access to a professional-grade backtesting and optimization suite, allowing you to rigorously stress-test your strategies and create more profitable, more resilient Expert Advisors.

  • ...and what it's 'not'

    OMS does not play any part in live trading - that remains the role of the MetaTrader platform and the broker(s) you choose to manage your trading account(s).

    OMS does not provide any trading strategies or trading/investment advice - your strategy and your intellectual property remain your own (unlike some platforms, we do not ask you to upload your strategy).

OMS only operates during the development and testing phases of your strategy.

HELPING ALGORITHMIC TRADERS SUCCEED

Our 'Opt My Strategy' software (or OMS for short) provides best-practice backtesting, specifically designed to address the most common problems algorithmic traders face when optimizing expert advisors.

  • The MT4/MT5
    Strategy Tester

    When used alongside best-practice backtesting processes, the built-in MT4 and MT5 Strategy Testers can both be effective optimization tools.

    However, few traders understand what best-practice back testing encompasses and many never manage to produce profitable systems that deliver the results they expect in their real-money accounts.

  • Why do most
    traders fail?

    This is due to a number of reasons: the most important being over-optimization of trading systems.

    The majority of traders do not know how to measure the statistical significance of their backtesting and have no idea if they have over-optimized their system. We consider this the #1 reason why over 90% traders fail.

  • The answer?
    Opt My Strategy

    OMS has been designed from first principles to backtest and optimize trading systems using best-practice.

    First and foremost all testing is undertaken using scientific principles and techniques to produce statistically significant results, leading to more robust trading systems.

About Opt my Strategy

A new approach to backtesting and optimization software

Remove the noise...

OMS optimizations provide an enhanced level of calrity allowing traders to focus on the patterns that are more likely to repeat in the future rather than being distracted by random fluctuations and noise caused by economic news events - helping parameters to be in tune with the markets whilst promoting robusteness.

How is Opt My Strategy different?

Most backtesting tools provide functionality and features that look great in principle - however our experience is that many of these features promote over-optimization. This results in really great looking back tests, but systems that fail in your live, real money account.

Scientific, statistically-based approach

We have no interest in great looking backtests. Everything we build into our software promotes robustness, and focusses on delivering production-ready trading systems. Our built-in algorithms provide intelligence to the user to increase the statistical significance and reliability of results.

Backtesting and Optimization Software for MT4 and MT5

Works with MT4 and MT5 using interfaces that are 100% supported and documented by MetaQuotes. This requires some minor code additions to your MQL4/MQL5 source code*.

*If you have purchased a pre-compiled EA and do not have the source code you will not be able to use 'Opt My Strategy'

Backtesting and Optimization Software Features

Opt My Strategy strives to turn the complex world of backtesting, which is prone to many pitfalls, into an effective and intuitive process for traders.

The software incorporates the features needed to complete optimizations using best practice methodologies, helping achieve robust trading systems that perform in live accounts.

Pre-Assessment Module

The pre-assessment module runs before each walk forward analysis. It detects any price data issues and makes the trader aware

In-Sample Parameter Optimizations

The test period is split into multiple stages allowing parameter optimization to stay in tune with changing market conditions

Automated Parameter Selection

Users can define the performance criteria that parameter selection is based on. Opt My Strategy takes care of the rest

Out-of-Sample Walk Forward Tests

Following each in-sample optimization, a walk forward out-of-sample test is run to determine the robustness of the optimization phases

Pre-Live Optimization Module

If you are happy with the results of your system, a pre-live optimization can be performed to identify the parameters to use in live trading

Machine Learning Module

The Opt My Strategy Machine Learning Module suggests the optimal settings for the walk forward analysis based on the characteristics of your trading system

Multi-Core Processing

Take advantage of multi-core processing (local, network and MQL5 cloud cores) to speed up optimizations (MT5 only)

DESIGNED BY TRADERS

BUILT BY TRADERS

FOR TRADERS

The majority of commercial backtesting products use features specifically designed to appeal to traders, in order to increase sales. However, often these software suppliers don't even use their own products to develop systems or trade the markets.

We think this is a direct conflict of interests and leads to features being developed in their systems that can sound really impressive to the customer, but unfortunately often lead to curve-fitting and over-optimization. The outcome of this for the trader is that impressive looking backtests are produced, but the systems lose money as soon as they are traded in a live account.

Opt My Strategy is completely different. It has been built with one intention in mind. To assist with trading system development, producing backtests that are statistically significant, and systems that are robust in real-time trading. Trading institutions and intelligent retail traders across the World are choosing Opt My Strategy.
