Yes! If you are running Generator/Reactor, make sure you are running it in a separate Window. This will give you extra speed.
A good idea is to keep looking at different periods – last 1 month, last 2 weeks.
Because some strategies might be in a loss for some time and in order to get over the 0 will take you a lot of time. But if you look at the last 1-2 weeks you will see it faster getting on profit.
I am not sure if I wrote it clearly 🙂
Hey Arturo,
Petko was explaining the following thing: Even the regulated brokers have the A book and B book clients. A book is the winners, B book is the losers. One of the ways to move more clients from A in B is to increase the slippage for the A clients that trade the news.
This means that if you succeed to make profits on the news they will notice it, and they will increase the slippage just for your account.
I do not say that all brokers do it, but its a practice. Keep it in mind.
Hello, Adc,
Glad to hear that someone wants to share. I was sharing a lot before, but I did not see an honest response from the others to share as well.
Anyway, your idea is awesome and we can think about it. But it is not that simple to create such a super portfolio.
The first issue is that everyone uses a different broker. That is why we can not have a portfolio of many EAs that will perform equally in the backtest for everyone.
Second, the most reliable test would be if we place all these EAs trading in one account, which is nearly impossible.
Third, I do not think Petko will mind having such a basket of EAs, but we will have to ask his team to create some kind of app or a page on the website where everyone can place his best EAs that fit any acceptance criteria. Anyway, if we write in the forum and attach them in here, people will have to look in previous pages. They won’t know from where to start and so on…
Not a bad idea, but again its a lot of thing to think about.
Hey!
It depends on many things…
If you are using Portfolio EAs, do you use the method that Petko teaches in the course to remove the losing strategies from the code?
I would avoid trading AUDJPY and AUDCHF, try with the Major currencies.
And third, I monitor the last 1 month, the last 2 weeks, and the last 1 week. If I keep the EAs above 1,2 PF, I would remove them if I see lower PF on any of the 3 periods.
Hi Gordon,
Yes, you can choose a direction when you generate strategies.
before you start the EA Strategy generation, go to the generator settings, and click on Preset Indicators:
From there you can choose what indicators the generator to use always in your strategies. Click on Add a new entry rule:
After that select the indicator Long or Short:
Choose the direction.
Keep me updated on the results. I always wanted to test this but never had the time for it…
I would still use SL, because you will be in the wrong direction when the trend changes, and it will at one moment.
Hi guys,
what I have been doing the recent months is to avoid the Demo account and use just the reuploading.
I generate strategies daily, but I do not export the strategies as EAs.
I download the collections and name them according to the date it was created. After 1 month, I re-upload the collection and I see which strategies performed best during this one month(it is the same as if I tested on Demo).
It works really great so far, but I am doing some tests now to see if I recalculate it after 2 weeks or after 2 months will be better. I am not sure if 1 month is the best option…
Happy New Year, guys!
Did anyone test the percentage option in FSB Pro? Thre is the option to enter with certain % from the free margin, and not with lots.
I am not a fan of it, but I was wondering if anyone can share the experience with that.
Great video, Petko!
I am happy to see that the Academy grows! You deserve it after all the hard work during the years! I am sure every one of us who uses EA Studio, FSB Pro and waits for every new course 🙂 is willing to say a THANK YOU to you as well!
You share so much, and I am happy I found you and your courses to open my eyes to trading!
Wish – keep doing what you are doing because you are the best!
I would suggest you not wondering about taking it or not. You will find so much value with the EA Studio program, and you will change your trading. It changed mine for sure!
In many posts, I have explained why I find EA Studio so useful, but if I have to be short this time, it made me a profitable trader. And I was struggling many years before that to close the month on a profit.
I never saw a discount on it, but the great thing for me is that it is a lifetime – you will get all future updates for free, and you don’t need to pay for upgrades like most programs.
