Hey Veejay,

I think you are missing something with the historical data. Could you please attach a screenshot so we can see better?

For the Gold, you need to place a wider range for sure. Try 10-10000. And see what values will be there in the strategies that are generated.

Usually, the gold is with different count of digits with the brokers. Usually, it would 200 pips= $20. But it might be different.

Strange you don’t get strategies for EURUSD….you can test if the issue is with the broker. Just remove the acceptance criteria, and generate. If still nothing, it is something from the Historical data. If it works, just start adding acceptance criteria slowly, one by one and you will see what stops you…

Hey Leonard,

Petko launches updates during the first week of the month. Here you can follow them:

Updates in the courses

The Experts come in zipped files that are named with the month and year.

Hello Faraz,

Welcome to the Forum! Yes, Petko’s courses made many lives easier. I had been trading many years before that and never had constant success.

Anyway, your question is quite logical. I got your point, and I think there is a way to go around it.

If you run the Generator on the second day, just don’t delete the strategies from the collection. This way, the correlation analysis will apply.

So, for example, if you have ten strategies from the first day, add them to the portfolio but leave them in the collection. Write down in excel the IDs for these strategies, so you will recognize which are the new ones from the second day. And the correlation analysis will do its work this way.

Give it a try and let me know. I never thought about that.

Great to have the search bar, Petko! Thanks a lot!

EA Studio with the Free Historical data App is just a fantastic combination! Really things got easier for me.

I hope soon the data will be inside the software for the licenses users at least. This way we won’t need to download and upload the data. Even it works really fast this way 🙂

[Andi]

Wow!

These are great results Bastian!

Good job!

What I can suggest to you from using the software since the beginning is just to stop thinking if you are on a live or on Demo. Focus on the strategies themselves!

At one moment, when you are ready with the portfolio and the general strategy that you follow, you will just switch to live and everything will continue…

Keep up the good work!

Hey Petko,

I trust you are doing fine!

Any idea if we can expect to have the generated EAs from EA Studio to upload in FSB Pro?

I want to backtest trading strategy with more details in FSB Pro, and at the same time to add some higher timeframe filters.

Hello guys,

something that I figured out recently and I wanted to share.

I use the OOS when generating the strategies with the reactor, and after that, I filter the strategies with the min count of trades.

This way, when generating strategies, I am already testing the EAs for the last 20% of the data(simulating the Demo account) and when I filter them with the min count of trades basically I get the robust strategies.

Plus the Monte Carlo is there of course. This way I feel much more comfortable…but it took me nearly 2 years to realize what should I be using for my self.

Yes, I know Petko showed that in some of the courses, but maybe I was not ready to accept it 🙂

Hello Gon-co,

I did not understand what exactly is the issue? What do you mean by ” if I know the data of the wed of ea studio”?

[Andi]

Here is something that I learned yesterday!

When I run the generator I normally look for higher Profit Factor, and other criteria that are expected to be high in the future.

But actually the key point is the number of trades.

Petko shows in the courses with min 300 count of trades, but this is because the courses are meant for beginners.

If you want to build robust strategies that perform well for a longer time, you need to look for the maximum count of trades.

This depends on the Historical data of the broker.

Hi Petko,

I saw the new Forex Historical data from DucasCopy it looks rally awesome! I am going to test it and see how it goes.

Are they going to change the Metatrader-Demo which comes from JFD in EA Studio with the new DocasCopydata or not?

[Andi]

Something I wanted to share. Actually Petko said that long ago but I did not realize it. Now I see it is 100% true.

The more count of trades the strategy has, the Monte Carlo passes with more validated tests. This means that we have more robust strategies.

So basically the most important Acceptance criteria is a profitable strategy with many count of trades. With some currencies and time frames I get over 1000 without a problem, and with other 500 is the level. But at the end of the day, I get better strategies for any asset.

 

[Andi]

That is a piece of smart advice!

I still think that there should be a Page on Forex Academy where Petko can place 2-3 reliable brokers. This will make it much easier for the beginner traders, and it will protect many from the scammers.

[Andi]

O, really? From where is that Historical data?

[Andi]

I am looking for the Bitcoin Expert Advisors. The recent month was fantastic! 20% in the account from the Top 10 EAs.

[Andi]

Thanks, Petko! I missed your answer. Yeah, I do not see the point of using percentage, but because it is so popular, I was curious. 🙂
