The data / script file is the same for all brokers. It’s the file included in the course – EA Studio Data Export MT4/MT5.mq4/mq5. When you add it to your chart, just check your broker’s commission and spread and fill in accordingly.

Hi Petko,

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

Could strategies based on historical data from one broker  have different results with trades on a platform of a different broker?

Is it too soon, after 2 days, to start changing EAs, i.e. check the demo account, and replace the EAs in the live account with the better performing EAs in my demo account?

Hi Petko,

Thanks for replying. I understand – what you say makes sense. The point of the courses is to teach people to trade, rather than copy trades.

 

I know there is a forum topic where people share their EAs they’ve created, that seem to be working, but perhaps we could start a topic where you share the EAs that you are using, that are currently yielding good results, or maybe the settings you’re using in EA Studio and FSB Pro to create these strategies, if they have been adjusted since the course material for that currency pair was recorded. The reason I ask this, is that, as mentioned, I have now begun live trading, but I’m finding that the EAs that were working well in my demo accounts over the past 10 days or so, are not performing as well any longer on my live account. I know from the courses that the EAs need to be monitored and replaced as needed from the demo accounts on a regular basis, and that you update the EAs regularly, but if you could give me some advice on how to adjust my EAs to perform better in current market conditions, I would be very grateful. As a new trader, my emotions around trading are still quite high.

 

Currently, I am using EAs on the following pairs:

AUDUSD

EURGBP

EURUSD

GBPUSD

USDCAD

 

 

Thanks again,

 

Ilan

Thanks Petko,

 

I must also just tell you, for the past month or so, I have doing many Forex courses, and yours are, by far the best. Thank you for all the hard work. It is very clear you want all your students to succeed. It’s very much appreciated.

Thanks Petko, that makes sense.

Hi Petko,

With the current COVID-19 panic and country shutdowns, how accurate, or effective is it to use historical data and back testing for algorithmic trading? The current climate in the markets is so different to the past few months or years. Is algorithmic still a good, or best way to trade in your opinion?
