Hello traders,
EA Studio was updated multiple times during the last month, and here is the most important:
- Symbols settings were moved to Data.
- We have the option to set “Digit” in the Symbol settings page which solves the issue for the Historical data from brokers with different number digits
- The Volume indicators are marked as not recommended
- You can import up to 1 000 000 bars as a Historical data
- Multi-Market adds relevant markets:
Also, the editor button is now on the right side:
OOS is now available in the Validator and the Reactor:
I am glad that Mr. Popov from Forex Software is working on the software and improving it all the time.
Hi,
I like the software. There are few suggestions that may already be in consideration or might be new:
– A complete portfolio backtesting with different time frames, different portfolio advisors, and instruments would add a massive value. Everything is there in terms of data, custom parameters but we still have to export the portfolios and test the cumulative drawdowns/margin required on demo account.
– % size lots rather than fixed will make the software scalable.
Hey Manish,
Glad to hear you liked the video.
Yes, many people asked for the % size lots, but there are many concerns about it. If you trade many EAs in the account, each trade will open different sizes, and it will be hard to compare the EAs and decide which one had the best performance.
Also, deciding how much to trade is simple math, and actually, it is the professional approach to trade with fixed lots.
Regarding the complete Portfolio Backtesting, keep in mind that the EA Studio is limited with MetaTrader on the other end. And on MetaTrader, the EAs work on separate charts. The portfolio EAs work on a one-time frame and one asset. So even having a mixed portfolio in EA Studio would be useless because MetaTrader wouldn’t allow it.
Let me know if there is anything else. There have been many updates recently in the EA Studio, and I will drop them a bit later on this topic.
Hey guys,
Here are some of the recent EA Studio Updates:
1. We see Statistics now when Optimizing or Normalizing the strategies:
2. A better User Interface. Now the program loads faster because the source code got 30$ shorter. This is because it uses no more bootstrap.js and jQuery.js. I have no idea that that is but that is the reason 🙂
3. In the Editor we can change the values in the Indicators and the Editor will calculate the backtest in real-time:
4. Accept button added to the Optimizer and Normalizer. So if you decide to ”accept” the new values, you do not need to click on Edit as it was until the moment, but just click on Accept.
5. Margin requirements added in the Generator. This way you will know how much you need in order to use the strategies.
Hey traders,
Two major updates in EA Studio:
1. Portfolio Expert Advisors are now available for MetaTrader 5.
2. You can download all the strategies from the Collection with one click as a zipped file. This saves a lot of time.
Cheers,
Is this trading robot still profitable?
Do you have a sample account that uses this trading robot for 2 years or more?Hello Katia,
EA Studio is not a robot. It is software that generates, analyses, and backtests robots.
Please, have a look at the free course so you can learn more about it:
Add Stop Loss in percent to individual strategy Report and and Portfolio Stats. Risk management suggests that each asset traded should not be greater than 2% of account balance. In the case of a portfolio containing multiple strategies it would be nice to know what the total risk is in percent. Knowing what the risk (SL) is in percent is crucial to proper risk management and should be included in EA Studio.
Hey Alan,
Such an update was recently launched. You can see what percentage is the SL or the TP.
I asked Mr. Popov about it sometimes, and he fulfilled the wish. But it’s not all the time. 🙂
Yes if did finally see that after posting my request. However, I don’t see where it would add up all the SL and TP for a portfolio of strategies. Also would like to see this added to EA Studio!
Hey Alan,
I have missed your answer here. I can’t understand what you mean. Do you mean to put SL and TP the same for all the strategies in a portfolio?
The portfolio is a collection of different strategies. So if you wish to have SL of 30 pips and TP of 60 pips, for example, you would need to generate such strategies with fixed SL and TP. Then when you add them to portfolio EA they would all have the same SL and TP.
Let me know if that is what you wanted to say.
Disregard! The Portfolio Stats, Max DD, answers my question. I think I must have been asleep when I asked the question :o)
Petko – I have taken another look at my original question and it now looks like the Portfolio Stats Drawdown does not answer my question. When I add up all the SL of all the strategies within my portfolio the total, in dollars, does not equal the Portfolio Stats Drawdown in dollars, infact, they are quite different. So, evidently the Portfolio Drawdown is calculated differently. So, what I have been doing is taking all the SL from each strategy within the portfolio, as you have shown in your earlier post above, and adding them up manually to determine my Portfolio Risk in Dollars and in Percent. The result is quite different than the Max Drawdown shown in the Portfolio Stats! It would be nice not to have to do this manually but to have the Risk added to the Portfolio Stats.
