Hi Samuel, thanks for your response.
I have been mainly trading the most liquid forex pairs, i.e EURUSD, GBPUSD, EURGBP, EURJPY, GBPJPY, USDJPY. Focusing primarily on M15 and H1 timeframes as that is what is most recommended in both the forum and by Petko (However I have also tested M5, M1, and H4 timeframes with worse results).
When it comes to generating strategies I have tested varying the OOS to accommodate for multiple scenarios where the start of the OOS period is both well before, after, and roughly around the date where I noticed profits started disappearing (towards the end of February). Neither of these worked better that any other (at least nothing significant). I guess the next thing I will try will be to generate strategies with higher OOS criteria as you mentioned, and only select those that worked best from the period since February.
Would you recommend any particular assets or timeframes that you have found success with since February?
Hi Guys, i am having the same problem as Paul describes. For a few months I have tried many things: using Petko’s EAs from courses, generating my own EAs following the courses, and generating my own portfolios using my own methods. I have also used many different method to manage these EAs and transfer to Live (mock using demo account). I have tried selecting top X performing from demo and moving into live, using the validator to analyse performance of last 6 months, directly placing portfolio and removing poor performing ones.
The problem is that I cant generate profits on these mock live accounts no matter what methods I use. For about 2 months from January to end of February I could consistently generate profits but since then nothing seems to work.
I wonder if others are also struggling more recently to generate profits compared to before February?
Any suggestions on methods are are working for some?
Thanks!
Hey Guys,
Wondering what everyone else’s experience out there is recently with EA Studio and the current Russia-Ukraine Crisis. My EAs that were pretty consistently winning before this are now losing. Using the usual tracking performance on demo and sending the top performers to the live account is no longer generating profit during this period, and they almost immediately start losing money.
I think given the current circumstances it is very normal that is is occurring as my strategies were generated on “normal” market conditions and right now everything is very unpredictable.
Are most people also currently experiencing this? I thought it may be useful to share what techniques people may be using or testing to adapt to these changing market conditions.
