Hello Alan,

ok, do  you mean the 2 EA portfolios (M15 and H1) with “2 options” ?

I understood the 2 MC (MonteCarlo) options selected.

Please let me know, in the meantine my discussion is: what are the benefits of focusing on M15 (of course it works for Petko and you and many others here) if “it seems” that finding MC approved strategy in m15 requires more time to find them in H1.

In the same time, the reactor seems to find much more MC approved strategies in H1 then in M15. It’s just my point of view.

Have you noticed the same thing? And overall, what is the benefit to focus on M15 if H1 coould provide much more strategies to filter?

I like your feedback and it’s important, I’m not saying I’have the absolute truth :-D ahahaah

I just want to know your experiences about this.

Thanks!

Hey Alan,

thanks a lot for your feedback. I’m talking about the 2 MonteC variations:

1) Randomize indicator parameters

2) Randomize backtest starting bar.

I wanted to say: much more strategies are MonteCarlo passed in backtest compared to Ma5. I’m not saying that all these strategies have much better results in live trading.

Thanks!

Dear Petko and community,

just wondering why avoiding H1 timeframes which seems allowing more strategies in % passing the MonteCarlo test with the 2 options recommended by Petko.

M15 of course trades more frequently but in my experience it requires much more time to find Montecarlo passed strategies.

Instead, H1 strategies gives me a much higher Montecarlo success rate in %.

Thanks a lot for sharing your feedbacks

Hey Alan,

thanks again for replying, just telling you that you’re read even if you’re not commented by me ;-)

1) So, you DO NOT optimize the strategy, right? Just Generation + Montecarlo. No optimization, no normalization.

2) So, from the Montecarlo you choose 1 EA for Pair based on the best balance line.

3) Which pairs you test the EA on? The following 8?

EURUSD

GBPUSD
USDJPY

GBPJPY

EURJPY

AUDUSD

USDCAD

NZDUSD

Thanks!

Hello Alan,

great results and thanks for sharing, it would be great as Petko asked if you could share the EA creations process of thes 10 EAs.

Timeframe, data period, robustness test… any info is appreciated.

Happy challenge!

Angelo

Hello Alan,

thanks for sharing your results. So, can you confirm you use:

M15

5 years data

300 minimum trades

1.2 minimum Profit Factor

Reactor with Generator + Montecarlo (80% passed on the last two options: Strategy variations flagged)

Once passed MonteC, how do you select the best? 10-20 trades for pair with highest BalanceLine? SQN? Profit Factor? Winloss?ReturnDrawdown? All of these?

On average, after how many weeks do you create new Portfolios from scratch because the first does not profit anymore?

Any detail can make the difference here…

Thanks a lot!

Good afternoon EA Trading academy traders,

waiting eventually for having this option inside the Portfolio settings, in the meanwhile does anyone know how to change the MT5 Portoflio code downloaded by Portoflio Summary in Ea Studio, in order to open only BUY trades or SELL trades with the strategies inside the portfolio?

So, even if the strategies have been created both with BUY and SELL option, I want to choose inside MT5 if the Portoflio must open only BUY or SELL, according to the trend for example.

Thanks a lot!

[Angelo]

also same swap long, swap short and commission of course. Maximum spread 20 on EA Studio while the challenge account has a lower spread in average.

[Angelo]

Hello Alan,

of course, the propfirm data (the 5%ers) in strategy platform and the same in the challenge account (the 5%ers).

Thanks

Angelo

Hello Alan,

thanks a lot for your reply, yes of course there are period of drawdown, but I wanted to highlight that Strategy Portoflio Summary shows a profit day for trading the 14th of February, while, the same strategies, sent “live”, in that day, considering trades opened and closed on Feb 14th, like in Ea Studio, had a strong loss.

According to Strategy Portfolio Summary, Feb 14th had 5,1% profit.

In reality, in live trading, Feb 14th had -1,84% loss.

You can check from my screenshots.

You can see that the live trades have been opened all on Feb 14th, so, they’re not coming from the previous day. It’s the same condition of Strategy Portfolio: started trading on Feb 14th and finished trading on Feb 14th.

Same 22 EAs, same leverage, maximum spread slightly higher in EA Studio than in live trading.

If there’s no other reason, this is a big bug fo EA Studio which can completely mislead the user in evaluating a good strategy while actually is bad.

Please inform the developers immediately, thanks!

Hello Alan,

12 years of history in H1 are around 75.000 bars.

5 Years of history in M15 are around 75.000 bars.

 

So, are you talking about 5 years in H1 or 5 years in m15?

Thanks

Dear Petko and forum members,

first of all, happy new year to all!

Consistent results from generating EAs, optimizing then and portfoling them are still far from me at the moment. I do not hide my disappointment, I thought it was much easier.

Anyway, from 1/1/2012 to around initial 2021 for Gold and Silver (while around 1 year and half before for all forex pairs available in EA studio for FTMO), the same strategy in H1 (even without optimization) gives amazing profits for all fx pairs and for Gold and Silver.

Unfortunately, it seems something happened almost at the same time for all pairs, and and maybe 1 year and half later for Gold and Silver…

No further optimization from EA Studio for the last period at the moment, but: how do you explain this result? And how do you explain this correlated effect on all pairs?

If you want to check for yourself (but please share your optimization insights at least) you can start the generator in h1 from 2012 to nowadays, with no SL and TP.

 

[Angelo]

sure Alan, but it’s “realistic” or too much overfitting to obtain a 100% win rate with a HIGH SL and a strict TP (around 11:1 SL_TP ratio in this case)? How could this kind of ea will perform in coming days weeks? Is better to always test every EA on demo account, or the exclude in advance the overfitted ones?

Thank you!

[Angelo]

Hello Alan, great to have a prop funding firm data on EAStudio!

Suggestion: an additional entry rule I would find really useful is the “Entry WeekDay”.

Many times, using the “Entry Time” is not enough:

Thanks and regards
