Hi Petko,

 

After going through the course today, my question is, is the EA optimised for current BTC market conditions and price? The reason I ask is I see the course was recorded in 2017, right before the insane climb of the Bitcoin price, and again in June 2018, when there was a big downward trend. Currently, the price is trading in a relatively narrow channel. Of course, there are still big moves, where we can take good profits, but when backtesting the EA in MT4 (fully automatically), from Jan 2019 to current, the graph doesn’t look great, and the losses are more than the profits.

Please see the screenshots below.

 

Thanks as always,

Thanks Petko, based on the above, I have bought the new course.

Hi Andi,

Do you work for EA Forex Academy, or are you answering as a forum participant only?

Hi Andi,

 

Thanks for the reply. What then would be an acceptable range when generating strategies in EA Studio and FSB Pro?

Sorry Petko, I mean entry at $9200, as I see the price already hit $9150, and $9200 also has much support and resistance.

Or would it be better to TP at the Fibo levels of $9493 (1.618) and $9904 (2.618), as per the image below?

Thanks again,

Hi Petko,

 

One more item I thought of, although it’s more general than specific to the FSB Pro course. Could you do a short explanation of what the draw down is, and what the acceptable range is when generating strategies?

 

Thanks,

 

Ilan

Hi Petko,

 

I’m happy to have helped.

 

To be honest, I haven’t completed the course Mr Popov has uploaded, so it’s difficult to say at this stage what I would like added or explained in more detail. I guess for me, I’d just like to understand the various indicators and signals that you use based on your many years of experience and hundreds of thousands of strategies created and tested, and how to optimise them using knowledge of the signals and indicators rather than just putting in random numbers and hoping for the best. At the end of the day, I would like to have the most effective, optimised and robust EAs that produce more profitable trades.

 

Thanks as always,

 

Ilan

Thanks Petko!

 

I’m looking forward to the FSB course

Hi Petko,

 

That’s great news. Thank you

Hi Petko / Desi

I have just completed the Top 10 USDJPY Expert Advisors: Algorithmic Day Trading course.  This was, sort of, my first introduction to FSB Pro for generating and optimising strategies using this software.

I have completed most of your other Algo courses, and have been using EA Studio to create many strategies for a few months now. For most I run the optimizing and robustness tools.

My question is: if EA Studio already has optimizing and robustness tools built in, is it necessary to use FSB Pro too?

When you create EAs in EA Studio, do you, after creating them, import them to FSB Pro, and perform additional optimizing and robustness? I have found that when using EA Studio, if my acceptance criteria and robustness settings are too strict, I get only a few strategies. Would you advise less strict acceptance criteria in EA Studio to generate more strategies, and then afterwards optimize them in FSB Pro?

 

Thanks as always,

 

Ilan

Hi Desi,

Thanks for your reply. I completely understand not wanting to share your trading results.

Which email address should I use to send my results?

 

Thanks,

 

Ilan
