Hi,

I have done the Strategies and I have 10 in total. I am running the Expert advisors since one week and no trading is being done. I see in the system these messages.

Do you know what could be?

Thanks

Facundo

Hello Facundo,

I think this issue was that you do not have enough bars on your chart where the EAs are.

Just press the home key and put the EAs again over the chart. See how it goes.

If still not working, send me some screenshot so I can see better.

 

Kind regards,

Hi Petko

 

sorry for my delay in answering. I think you might be right but Axitrader doesnt give me more bars that 2017 for EURUSD H1. Could be that maybe the dont allow alogrithmic trading?

thanks

Hello Facundo,

honestly, I never used that broker and I am not sure if they allow algorithmic trading.

Try to contact them via the chat on the website(all brokers have one) and ask them.

Kind regards,

Hi

 

do you have other brokers to recommend?

 

thanks

Facundo

Hello Facundo,

try JFD, they are decent broker for Forex and the Metatrader-Demo data in EA Studio is from that broker so you will not need to collect Historical data

or just look for regulated Brokers that have FCA for example

Or find a data provider you can trust and convert their bar data to MT4 format up to where your broker’s data begins.

Hi,

Is it possible to upload/import an EA, that is not generated in Expert Advisor Studio or FSB, to EAS or FSB for backtesting?

Hello Invest,

I am not sure if I get the question, but if you are asking if you can import EAs that you bought from the market or one that you coded, no, you can not.

The EA Studio and FSB Pro are very optimized programs to have excellent code. If someone imports an EA that has a messy code, the programs won’t work the way they work now.

However, you can build the EAs from the Strategy Editor. Place the entry and exit rules, SL, TP, and all the EA has, and then you can backtest it or export the strategy as an EA without issues in the code.

Cheers,

 

Hi,

Yes, that was my question. Thank you for the answer.

 

Best regards

Sure, let me know if there is anything else.

Cheers,
