Alan,
Hi Sebastian,
There are a couple of things that does not look right with the screenshot provided:
1. After running the Reactor for 10 hours you should have seen hundreds of thousands of collected strategies.
2. I have never seen the Generator Passed Validations, the Monte Carlo Passed Validations, and the Multimarket Passed Validations all being of the same number. Normally, the Monte Carlo Passed Validations are less than the Generator Passed Validations, and the Multimarket Passed Validations being less than the Monte Carlo Passed Validations.
The first thing we need to fix is the number of collected strategies. Assuming you are using one of the supported web browsers please close all tabs except the one with EA Studio. Reset EA Studio to default settings. Set Symbol to GBPUSD, period to H1 and Date Horizon to 5 years and select Multimarkets and make sure Monte Carlo is selected. Set the Generator for 10 minutes. Now run the Reactor. After 10 minutes the reactor should stop.
I have performed this test with my Microsoft Windows computer with an i5 Intel processor.
The following are the results I get:
As can be seen after 10 minutes more than 12,000 strategies were collected. Also the Monte Carlo Passed Validations are less than the Generator Passed Validations and the Multimarket Passed Validations are less than the Monte Carlo Passed Validations. This is what you should expect.
Also notice that after 10 minutes one strategy passed into the Collections. If I use some simple math I would expect to get 6 collected strategies after one hour and 60 collected strategies after ten hours.

Hi Sebastian,
I just thought of something! When you open more than one instance of EA Studio you cannot leave them as tabs in the browser. You need to separate the tabs into individual windows. When left as tabs when you switch tabs the Reactor in the first tab will stop working and the Reactor in the open tab will start working. In other words, the Reactor will only work in the current selected tab in the browser. To get all the Reactors to work they need to be running in separate browser windows.

Hi Sebastian,
It’s the computer. You need more computing power i.e. a more powerful computer. Assuming you are using Windows if your computer has an i5 processor use only one Reactor. If your computer has an i7 processor you can run three Reactors. Click on Task Manager>Performance and check the CPU and Memory usage. If the Memory is at at a very high level you might improve performance by adding more memory if your computer can handle that. If the CPU is running at very high levels then you need a more powerful microprocessor. I use a workstation desktop which I bought used. With my workstation I can run a lot of Reactors. I am collecting strategies everyday. Once every month I load all my strategies into EA Studio using the validator and then select the best ones to use for the next month. The alternative is to use ExpressGenerator but it is not easy to learn how to use and don’t recommend it until you have lots of experience with EA Studio.
To use the computer you have I would recommend letting the Reactor run for 23 hours, download the strategies, change the symbol, and repeat. Then do this for one month. Then load all the strategies into EA Studio using the Validator and then select the best performing strategies to save as EAs to trade the next month. The hardest thing to get through is the first month. From the second month onward you will have EAs trading while the computer is collecting new strategies. Also I would recommend using a demo account until you develop a profitable workflow.

Hi Orlando,
Ilan brings up an important point which may be the correct answer to your question. However, keep in mind that besides the Account profit target, that is set when you download the prop firm robots, each EA also has it own profit target built into it. When the Account profit target is hit then all the prop firm robots open positions will be closed. However, when an individual EAs profit target it hit only that EA will be closed.

Hi Orlando,
Each EA is attached to a separate Symbol chart and works independently from other EAs. Same with the Prop Firm Robots. All EAs work independently from other EAs.

I mostly use EA Studio and recommend it as it is a lot easier to learn how to use.
Happy Trading,
Alan,Hi Sebastian,
This is Alan and not Ilan :o). I am happy to hear you are using the procedure I put in place for traders interested in purchasing EA Studio. I would be interested in any comments you might share with others as to what you thought about the procedure.
Happy Trading,
Alan,Hi Alexius,
Changing the lot size will not have any affect on open positions but will affect your account risk and margin!

Hi Sebastian,
I would also recommend you review the following topic before purchasing EA Studio. It gives you a lot of ideas on how to learn more about EA Studio, create EA’s for free and test them before making the decision to purchase EA Studio. This will give you a better idea if you really want to continue with the idea of purchasing EA Studio.

Hi Eleanor,
FXIFY no longer allows citizens of the US to use MT4 or MT5 and has migrated my account to using the DXtrade platform. As a result I am now using my US forex broker to run my EA’s and I am copy trading to my DXtrade platform. I still have my FXIFY 10K account but am not using it. Instead I have an FXIFY 50K One Step Challenge that is now funded. You can find the results of this challenge in this link. Also I have an FXIFY 400K One Step Challenge that has profited by almost 18K. I need to reach 40K to get it funded. Both these accounts are copy traded from my forex broker.
Do you currently have an account with FXIFY? If not you can click on this link to learn more about how to open an account.

FXIFY 50K One Step Challenge
Hi Traders,
On July 9th I started an FXIFY One Step Challenge. On September 20th I passed the challenge and received a 50K funded account. In this challenge I used the Prop Firm robots from July 9th until August 16th. In mid August I learned FXIFY was no longer allowing traders in the US to use Metatrader and was migrating to using the DXtrade trading platform throwing a curve ball into my trading strategy. So from August 16th through September 11th there was no trading while I figured out how to continue this challenge. I then decided to use my forex brokerage account and copy trade from MT5 to DXtrade. I then started creating new expert advisors using EA Studio. From September 11th through September 18th I continued trading this challenge using the expert advisors I created. On September 15th the expert advisors started going through a drawdown. On September 18th, to keep the challenge from drawing down any further, I decided to manual trade this challenge on the DXtrade platform. On September 20th I passed the challenge.
