    Hey Petko!

    Any new courses coming up? Want to learn more from you!

    I am quite happy with the courses and the software so far but I really want to master it!

    I don’t think you can prove anything to anyone…they just do it this way.

    I would change the broker if I was you. If the trades are executing on time on the Demo, then it is not from the VPS.

    I personally put the commission that I see when opening a complete lot. I don’t think if the broker charges two times, that is a good sign. Most probably the EAs will fail with such a broker because the costs are high.

    Yes, I can confirm that the EAs open one trade at a time.

    I am interested to know more about that FTMO Challenge. Will be looking for more info from you…

    Hey Petko!

    I saw that there is a new tool for Historical data with EA Studio and FSB Pro.

    Can we expect it on Forex Academy?

    Hello Arturo,

    I have friends that trade just the news but I do not think they make consistent profits. And they trade manually…

    Andi is pretty right, the brokers can slower particular account for execution.

    So it does not worth to invest time trading on new, and when you come up with a profitable strategy they can mess it up.

    Anyway, why do you want to trade the news? There are movements all the time.

    If you use a small period to optimise or generate strategies, you will be over-optimizing it. This means that the software will find the parameters that work best just for this short period.

    That is why we use at least 100k-200k bars of data, and we are looking for the EAs that pass the Monte Carlo.

    Normally if you see a strategy with the same Magic Number it means it is not updated. Only the course Top 5 Forex strategies go with the PFD attached. You can see there if there was a change. And if there was one, it will be underlined.

    Hey John,

    The best practice is to start with wide acceptance criteria. For example, use just Min count of trades 300 and a profit factor of 1.2.

    Or you can use just consecutive losses in Forex which means that the strategies you want to trade must not have more than 7 consecutive losses, for example.

    When you get many strategies in the collection, like over 100, you can add some more criteria

    Yes, EA Forex Academy is not just a website, it is a platform – there are courses, software, forum, posts. I do not find anything missing.

    Oh, one thing, I still think a page with trusted and recommended brokers will be useful. I know Petko does not recommend because he is not connected to any broker, but I am sure this will save many from the scammers…

    Yes, the courses of Petko are really complete. He puts pressure on the most important stuff, without unnecessary staff and theory.

    I am surprised that by so many students around, just a few questions in the Forum…simply not a lot to ask.

    Hello all,

    do you think if one broker is regulated, it can become a Scammer?

    I use a regulated broker, but I feel that they are manipulating my positions…

    Any idea of how I can be sure of their regulation?

    Hello all,

    recently I notice that with EA Studio I succeed to generate strategies with many counts of trades. I reach over 1000 which is just great, but I was wondering why before I Was not able to do it. Is it some update that I missed in EA Studio?

    One of the reasons I come up with is that I have more Historical data now…
