Before I lowered minimum stop loss and take profit from 10 to 5 I tried 10 – 200. I also tried 10 – 300. I still continued to get the message “The Generator Cannot Find Strategies Possible reasons: Too strict Acceptance Criteria, Cannot make enough profit, Improper range of Stop Loss, Improper range of Take Profit.” So since it wouldn’t start collecting strategies by moving the upper end of the range higher I tried lowering the lower end of the range. I had to lower it to 2 to get it to start collecting strategies. It is now 10 hours later and it stopped collecting. The collection total 6 strategies. Something just is not right. I am going to change to a different currency pair and see if the Reactor starts to work better.
I moved trades back to 300 and lowered minimum stop loss and take profit from 10 to 5. Still not working. Lowered from 5 to 2. Still not working. Lowered from 2 to 1. Now it is collecting strategies. Collected 3 strategies in the last 45 minutes.
I am using 5 years of data for both M15 and H1. I have all setting as per “Forex Strategy Course + 12 EAs I Trade Live” course and I am using Premium data starting from 2017. The EA Studio Reactor running H1 is doing fine and after 9 hours the Collections is 52. However, the EA Studio Reactor running M15 after 9 hours has Zero Collections. I stopped it. As a test I changed the minimum trades from 300 to 100 and after 10 minute it had collected 3 trades. I then stopped it. I reset minimum trades back to 300 and restarted the Reactor. After 2 minutes I got the following message “The Generator Cannot Find Strategies Possible reasons: Too strict Acceptance Criteria, Cannot make enough profit, Improper range of Stop Loss, Improper range of Take Profit.” I then set the minimum trades to 200 and still get the error message after 2 minutes. So I have set the minimum trades back to 100. After 11 minutes it has collected 3 strategies and will leave it there. I guess I am surprised that I have to set minimum trades to 100. I would have expected M15 to have more trades than H1. Does this seem correct to you? Or, does something seem not correct?
When running the Generator or Reactor for the 15 minute and 60 minute time periods how much bar history should be used to get an accurate result?
I checked section 4.1 today to see if the link had been fixed. Now there is no button to download EA’s!
I also took these courses:

I have been evaluating the EA Studio Free Trial. After running the Reactor I see that the results of the Monte Carlo (69) also shows up in Ascended (69) but the Collection shows 50. “What does Ascended mean and does the EA’s that pass the Monte Carlo show up in the Collections?”
Yes, that helps! For some reason I was thinking the portfolio and export only applied to the generator.
Petko: Hopefully my portfolio of EA’s will do nicely between now and the next time CPI and PPI come out again in August. NFP Friday may present a nickup but I will trade through it. like you say sometimes these reports will go against the portfolio and other times go in its favor. Over the long term I would think the portfolio would come out the winner.
