The following python script allows Forex traders who run backtests through the MetaTrader 4 platform to run a Montecarlo Simulation on their results.
This script will do the following:
- Convert your
.htmfile to a.csv(this is because MT4 does not output results in a usable format). - Run a MonteCarlo Simulation on the results and provide you with the simulation results.
Put this script in the same folder as the backtest results (typically StrategyTester.htm) and then execute py MT4_Results_To_MonteCarlo.py and it will do the rest.
- Python 3.4+
- pip
