Hey Shamasa,
you are right, we keep an eye on this too but…it will take a long time if it ever happens.
Hello Shamasa,
the bigger diversification you have the better. Try not to concentrate on a particular number of EAs you want to trade, but more on the best strategies to trade.
Even you have a big capital, you better trader 5-6 great EAs instead of 20-30 EAs just because you calculated the risk with number of EAs.
Hello Iohan,
No silly questions here. You can ask anything. For the moment you can not import back an Expert Advisor created with EA Studio to FSB Pro, or one created with FSB Pro to place back in EA Studio.
What you can do is to build the strategy in FSB Pro. Just open a new strategy, and place the entry and exit conditions you see in the strategy in EA Studio. Place the exact methods, parameters values, SL and TP, and you will have the strategy there.
You are right, Shamasa, I did not talk about Walk forward so far because it was improved all the time. For sure this time I will cover it because it is a robustness tool, and if it is improved int he future, I will just update the course.
Well done, Bart! I like testing with 0.01 on live account the new Expert Advisors I create. This is the most realistic way of testing Expert Advisors.
Now the most important thing for you is to build a stable risk money management system, so you will not be taking huge risks.
Keep up the work!
Hello Iohan,
This is how I use the lower time frames, but that this does not mean that there are no other alternatives. There are many.
Keep in my that in my courses I share how I am doing it, but I never said: ” You should do it the same way.” I am just showing my methods and the best thing would be if you use them but in your way, with your approach. Hope that makes sense.
Cheers,
Hello Iohan,
You are very welcome! I am really glad that the courses cause interested, and many traders join.
The next course will be dedicated to the biggest problem in algorithmic trading – the robustness of the strategies.
We all know that we can create EAs very easy with EA Studio, so the question is how to know if these strategies will perform well in the future.
I will cover all the robustness tests in detail. Probably this time I will focus on the USDCAD pair.
Hello Jie!
Glad to hear you were doing such a good job over the months! You are welcome, I will do my best to keep up the work, and update the courses with better and better EAs.
Yes, my testing over the years showed that we should be more concentrated on the recent week or two. And there is no precise solution to that. What you need to accept is a trader is that the market changes. I know you know that everyone knows that. But at the same time, everyone looks for the strategy that will work consistently over time.
Same when we trade with Expert Advisors. We want to find this best period to test the EAs, this best acceptance criteria, and this best method to filter the strategies which we can use in time. But again, the market changes. So it is really all about testing and testing, and if you find now that looking at the last week will bring you better results, that might not be the best after a couple of months.
So what you are doing is just great, keep it up, always have in mind to look for the better and better solution. This way you will go with the market.
Hey Andi, you go it right, with the update of EA Studio acceptance criteria we can filter the separate sectors as In Sample and Out of Sample. That allows us to generate strategies that perform robustness tests as Multi Market and Monte Carlo in the In Sample part and in the same time those that pass the validation criteria in Out Of Sample part.
Hello Donald,
For the Basic algorithmic trading course, you can find the EAs as attached file in the lecture called How to place the Experts on the Meta Trader for trading. When I make an update, I will attach the updated EAs again there.
The London, NY & Tokyo algo trading course is the only algorithmic trading course where I did not include EAs because of the different time zones. If I create such EAs, they would work only for the same time zone.
For all of the rest algo trading courses, you will find the EAs attached below the videos where I show how to place them on Meta Trader, and when I launch un update, they will appear there.
You can follow all the updates normally at the beginning of each month(1st week): Updates in the courses
