I have never used the Meta Trader backtester. It is so slow that I did not wait to complete even one time. Actually this is how I found Forex Strategy Builder, looking for a better backtester for strategies.

Hi Haliffa,

that is a good idea. I was wondering how to combine EA Studio and FSB Pro.

So after having the best strategies in the Reactor left, we can move this strategy to FSB Pro.

As far as I know, we can not import back EA from EA Studio to FSB Pro or the other way around.

So I am planning to build it there in the generator, and put some longer time filters to eliminate some of the wrong entries.

Will let you know how it goes, but sounds great. Thanks for the idea.

You are right, Halifa. I did not know about R – squared at all. Now it is in my generator all the time thanks to Petko

Hey Edu,

I use M1 and M5 with portfolio Expert Advisors. Recently I made 4 portfolios, each one has about 20-30 strategies inside.

I am not focused on the number, but more to choose the strategies with the acceptance criteria.

I trade them for one month, and during this month I generate new ones, and I add the good ones to the portfolio.

 

[Stephen]

Thank you, Petko! You are the man!

I also keep trading with 0.01 lot with all EAs. When any strategy passes my demo trading period, I add it to the trading portfolio on the live account.

It is very easy this way, and sometimes I get more EAs on live, sometimes they are less but overall it is easy to follow.

Hey Petko,

I am testing a lot the r – squared, but when I combine it with the other criteria as Profit Factor, Win/Loss ratio, I hardly get strategies.

So I need to go down to r-squared like 55-65. Is this normal?

[Stephen]

Hey Chingi, what I do is to run the FSB Pro and EA Studio generators all the time… I am not pausing them at all. If you organize the time well, you will see that it does not cost a lot of time to set it up, and run it while you are doing different things.

So even you are still watching the courses, you can run the generators to get used with the Acceptance Criteria.

I read some news that these scam brokers were revealed, and some people went to prison!

[Stephen]

Jacpin, it is really great to do diversification, but I see that you might have a problem with the broker or to limit your trading with one EA per asset.

However, do not be disappointed the laws are laws and we can not do anything about it.

But if this is the case you can look for diversification with different currency pairs….there are so many. As well you can go for the assets, stocks, indexes. The good thing is that EA Studio has no limitation about the assets and you can generate EAs for everything.

[Stephen]

Thank you, Petko! The balance chart of this strategy looks like really great! So far I did not succeed to make such a strategy with such equity. The EA is on the Meta Trader already. Also, I exported the one from Halifa.

It is really awesome to be part of this forum, the Academy, it is so much to learn every day!

[Stephen]

Jacpin, It is great to have plans, I am still fighting with the present, but I believe when profits are there it will get easier.

I remember once Petko in the lectures said that it is enough to trade only the EURUSD if we make good diversification on different strategies and different time frames. And I see that on his Top 10 EURUSD strategies, because I keep them on Demo now, and some and long, some are short and out of the 10 I averagely have 6-7 profiting which is great. Hope I will have the money soon to place some in real account.

Hello Jacpin,
thank you so much for your replay, and sorry for me being late.

It is interesting to keep this rule of 3 as you say.

Yes, you are right when the USD is second in the currency pair, and when the dollar is strong for example it will force these pairs to go down, and same on the other side. Now since there are only four pairs where the usd is second – EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD and NZDUSD, I sue it a starting point to figure out the other pairs where the USD is always first.

I realized that when I used the indicator from Petko that shows which is the best currency pair to trade at every moment, it was called FPSM meter I think. Very useful one in manual trading, but now with algorithmic trading I believe it is all about good choice of currency pairs, proper work with EA studio, and good analysis of the generated EAs.

[Stephen]

WOW! Nice to see this topic, That is a question I am thinking about nearly every day. I have changed my portfolio like 100s times, and still can not get on live.

If some of you can give me an idea how to make it more simple it will be great.

I started with EURUSD…like 10 EAs as Petko shows in the course. But then when I got more of his courses I saw that he uses many other currencies. So than I did the stupid mistake to create 10 different portfolios and all were with the EUR. Simply I Wanted to have 10 different portfolios with 10 different EAs. And I did like EURUSD,EURGBP,EURJPY,EURAUD..etc. Obviously one day the eur felt like a stone, I think it was somewhere on 12th this month. Most of my positions were buys, and I saw a massive loss. I wrote to Petko, and he said that I made the mistake to put a lot of exposure on EUR.

So now I try to restart and make a good diversification, and if you can give me some starting point will be much appreciated!

I have taken advantage of your summer sale, and took the courses. Thanks for the explanations and the support you do, it is very helpful all!
