Hello Alan,
Ok, that looks like a nice way of getting better insides. So it’s better for me also to trade more then 3 pairs in my demo account to get a better idea which one are the best performing. It feels like the same approach when selecting the best strategies after a month/week. Tracking which pairs performed good the last week and selecting the best strategies for that pair for the new weeek to come. So you select the best strategies and best pairs..something like that :)

Hello,
I understand the concept of risk diversification. So I chose some connected pairs to trade with like in some of the courses from Petko:
EUROUSD
USDJPY
EUJPY
And I use the 15 minutes time frame for generating the strategies. I’m planning to work with 15 EA’s (5 of each pair). But what I noticed is that USDJPY gives me much more better resulting strategies. I think for the last 2 weeks 80% comes from the USDJPY currency pair. SO if I select the weekly top performing strategies in my Metatrader demo and copy them over to my live/other demo account I have 15*0,8=12 strategies of the USDJPY pair active and 15-12=3 slots available for the other two pairs.
Now I’m asking myself, how to deal with this situation. This is no risk diversification and if next week somethings happen with the JPY I’m maybe f*cked… :(
Do I need to find another pair or take less strategies of USDJPY and forcely take the ‘lower fruit’ strategies from the other pairs to come to an even distribution…
Hope that’s clear :)

Thanks, Alan. It’s so much information. This makes things much more clear. I’m getting a better feeling about the services you deliver :)
Hello Alan,
But how do you trade the strategies that come out of the generator. How do you trade strategies with the big stoploss sizes,is that even possible… Can you give an example on xauusd with a stoploss of 819725 pips when I use a 10000 USD account. The risk I want to take is 2% with every trade without a leverage… Can you explain why you can make the scope for gold so big for the amount of pips?? Is gold that volatile?? It’s the only thing I’m worried about with the products you deliver. It would be very helpfull if there could be more information about risks with examples and the stragies you create. The position size calculator I use https://www.myfxbook.com/forex-calculators/position-size can’t even work with stoplosses this high 819725…
Hope you can help more with risk management and the specific bots you create.

Hello Allan,
No, nothing strange:
I have no idea.. 15 minutes works for every pair. Maybe I should try a hour?Cheers,

I turned off the acceptance criteria now I see more happening:
But without the acceptance criteria I accepte strategies with min net prof below 10 and below 100 trades… I don’t think that’s what we want..
Hello,
I’m using source Premium Data 15 min for gold, but it gives me no strategies. With the same settings I can generatie 10000’s of strategies for forex pairs… Something special with gold? Oh, and I use data horizon for last 4 years..
Thanks,

Hello,
When I installed CMCmakets MT4 I got the possibility to easely aquire a demo account. But I need a second Demo account. CMCmarkets does not seem to give multiple demo accounts. How can I easily (without broker validation) get a demo account. I say without broker validation, because I first want to try out demo accounts..
Thanks,
Maarten
Hello,
I also want to have good control over the risks (as much as possible). As Raymond said 1 or 2%. But in manual trading I learned to scale my lot size based on the amount of pips I place my stoploss. I used fxbook for this. But trading with the ea’s gives random stoploss positions. So what’s the best way to calculate the lot size for an ea. Now I use for a 10000 usd demo account 0,1 lot size for each EA.
Cheers,
Maarten
