Thanks everyone for the comments!

I somehow just realized that I should have tested in the strategy tester on MT4. I did that and looks like I found an issue here. It says “Ordersend Error 131”. Any idea what that means?

No wonders why the EAs didn’t take trade in the past 2 weeks.

Hey Samuel,

I tested with a lot size of 0.1 and it didn’t work. However, I checked my broker lot size for US30; the contract size = 1.

So, the minimum lot size I have to put on input is 1. It works!

Thanks for your help :)

Do you mean we will delete the old EAs after running the new EAs for a full month?

That means, the parameters of EAs that are uploaded for the current month, for instance, July, will be used in the real account next month which is August? Is that right?

Hi Samuel,

Did you resolve the issue of low generations first with a single EA browser as it seemed to be a window becoming inactive issue?
– Yes, I did. Upgrading RAM helps.

What courses have you been through? also what symbols are you planning to trade etc?
– I bought 8-10 different courses on Udemy (Top5, 100 EAs on EURUSD, Crypto monthly, US30, etc). I bought them and tested them out on my demo right now. I mainly bought different ones because I want to diversify my portfolio and learn as much as I can. However, 90% of all courses are repetitive, except for this EA uploaded parts.

2 main issues is the amount of data is not enough, especially to generate 300 trades on h1.
– I see. That’s the only available data I got from downloading from my broker (IC Markets). What would you recommend me to do in this scenario? Also, what’s the ideal OOS %? 20% or 30%?

Hi,

Thanks for the thoughts. I upgraded my VPS to 6 cores (12 GB) and will test them tonight.

Can you recommend good settings as you mentioned earlier that there is something wrong with my settings above?

Hi Samuel,

Thanks for your response.

To answer your question,

1- What browser are you using? (Chrome is by far the best)
– Chrome

2-Are you running on a desktop or laptop
– I’m running on the VPS using chrome. Same VPS I use to run EAs on demo accounts. I just opened and ran them on 4 different chrome windows (not tabs). I’m traveling with my laptop all the time so I need to run them on VPS.

3-What computer processor does your computer have?
– Interserver VPS. 2 Cores. 60GB SSD. 4TB transfer.

What did I do wrong here?

Hello algo traders!

I signed up for EA studio and gave it a try for the first time last night.

I tried to create the strategies last night for 10 hours. It generated only 4063 strategies in 10 hours. Isn’t it too little? 

Below are my testing criteria:

– GBPJPY; H1 – 9221 bars
– From 2021-01-05 07:00 to 2022-06-27 20:00
** I only have this length of data provided from IC markets as I just downloaded it yesterday **

Strategy properties
– I keep it as is, with no change. (Long and short, TP/SL 10-100)

Generator settings
– Out of sample: in sample
– Working minutes: 600
– Everything else stays the same

Acceptance Criteria
– 300 trades
– PF 1.2

Can someone tell me what I’m missing?

TIA :)
