Hey Samuel,

– So, you use both short filter (1 week) and long filter (1-3 months) to pick the winning EAs. My question is, isn’t 1 week filter too short, let’s say for H1? Maybe 1 week is good for M5 and M15, but not for H1 and H4 due to the number of trades?

– Speaking of time and effort, I myself have a lot of free time every day, however, I don’t want to trade M1 or M5 if the results aren’t as consistent as higher TF (maybe because of the news or other factors). I noticed on my demo account that when I picked M1 and M5 using 1 week and 1 month filters and put them on a live mock account, they didn’t perform as well as the previous week. I’m not sure if it’s because the market condition changes too fast or something else.

– Another question I have is that you mentioned it’s ideal to run a full month on a demo before moving the winners to a live account. After 1 month, do you run Reactor to generate complete new EAs (let’s say 10 portfolios with 30 EAs each)? OR do you optimize the parameters of the previous month’s EAs?

– How often do you generate new EAs using Reactor?

– Just curious, what is FSB for? When to use them? Do I REALLY need FSB when I already have Expert Advistor Studio? How do we put both of them into use and benefit each other?
