Forex Strategy Builder Pro: Errors and Solutions

[queen_rana1988]

Hello Mr. Petko Aleksandrov

Thank’s for your reply,and your team’s patience,I found your answer late here.I thought that I can send you PDF file too.

1. We are living in Iran, and we don’t have forex here, how can we put data? Choose Coordinated
universal time or we have to choose the nearest zone such as Istanbul or Abu Dhabi?

2. We test it with 100$ , EURUSD ,M15 and then set new strategy properties

3. Generator, start button, and one strategy comes with 173 is that happened in period of time of
updating and beginning ?
It is important that we save strategy in Export EA. Or just we set in save strategy? Which one is
correct?

4. Here we cant save it with suffix ( XML ), is it important?
And then we set Expert EA after we heard the sound,

5. In EA meta4 we refresh, in use date we sat a time in input parameter before. Is that correct?

6. We push start button, in 100$ for back test /

I have written the description of the picture for you sir.

Hello Rana,

I am glad to see that you found the way to upload pictures and ask questions. The Forum is actually the fastest way to talk with me.

Did you have the chance to watch the free videos from Mr. Popov:

https://platform.algotradingspace.com/software/forex-strategy-builder-professional/

It will give you the idea of how to use the FSB Pro, and I am working currently on the FSB course that will be uploaded soon.

1. Have a look at this video to learn how to upload the data to FSB Pro:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuXrD1sOP-U/

Also, a few days ago I have recorded videos on how to use the Forex Historical data app in FSB pro, and the videos will be live soon.

You need to have more bars when doing the backseat. At least 50 000 bars for M15.

Regarding the timezone, you need to select the time of your broker. You can see it in the market watch in the MetaTrader.

The rest looks fine, but you need to figure out the appropriate Historical data. Which broker did you select to use?

Hello Sir

Yes I watched Mr. Popov’s videos and we did all of them step by step, but the result was wrong and did not match as you saw in sent pictures.Would you please tell us which one of these ways were wrong? I sent 6 question sorry I know they’ve take times sorry about it.

Hey Rana,

1. You need to select the time for your broker.

Here is one of the videos that we uploaded today on YouTube:

It will each you to synchronize the data on your broker and your Historical data.

2. You can test strategies on any starting amount

3. You can save the strategy, you can export it as Expert Advisor. It really doesn’t matter. It is up to you. The 173 is the profit for the tested period.

4. Name the strategy in a way that it will be easy for you to arrange the work.

5. If you select a date, you will limit the backseat. If you remove it, you will use the complete data that is available.

6. If you test it with $100, then yes. If you trade with 0.01 lot will work, any way you will not have enough margin.

Cheers,

Is there a reason that an EA made in FSB Pro wouldn’t work in the strategy tester?

The reason I say this is because I’ve noticed the strategy tester on MT4/5 is not working or performing poorly. I spent the last week carefully selecting the strategies I wanted and was planning to test them on the MT4/5 strategy testers before applying them to a chart to forward test them.

MT5 is taking hours to perform a single test and the results are not even close.

MT4 has taken my profitable strategies and has given me a result below zero or the EA doesn’t work at all.

I didn’t expect the results to be the same but I thought they would at least be close. This last week has been a complete waste of time and from what I’m seeing FSB Pro doesn’t provide any benefit.

When first using FSB Pro you feel like you finally found something that works but then reality sets in when you actually test it. The numbers were good and carefully selected. Everything looked great in the FSB Pro generator but that all changes once you export them.

Same historical time, same inputs.

I truly hope I can solve this issue.

Has anyone experienced this problem before?

 

[Petko Aleksandrov]

Hey mate,

I get your point!

I will try to explain why this happens:

1. FSB Pro open the trades during the bar, and it works on the closing of the bar. That is why you need to use Control Points as modeling.

2. FSB Pro uses higher time frame filters and it includes Indicators that are not available on MetaTrader at all. That is why backtesting on MetaTrader becomes a problem.

Simply MetaTrader cannot catch up with all of the features.

3. FSB Pro has different backtesting models that are not available on MetaTrader as well.

 

Unfortunately, MetaTrader was not updated for over 20 years. MetaQuotes (the company behind it) has been selling the platform to brokers, and they make money from the big guys. And they don’t think about the retail traders (us) at all.

I hope that makes sense!

So I am using FSB Pro daily, and I do not even test the EAs on MetaTrader, because the MT tester sucks (sorry for the word).

Hello sir, I am interested in using FSB. I tried to have access to your 15 trial version by filling the given form, but no download link has been sent to me. What is the problem? Is there another way to get the download link to test the program? Thanks.
