ParticipantDo you have any template similar to what in my picture? so that It will be more easier to add or remove indicators.
mehreen_2
Participantok I have downloaded few strategies from online repository section of FSB,
They have indicators like in my picture but without ON/OFF button, so how can I create that button before setting value of any indicator.

ParticipantHello Mehreen,
why would you include an indicator in your strategy and then select OFF? I do not see a reason why there should be such an option at all.
When you backtest trading strategy you use all the indicators included. If you disable any off them, you will be changing the strategy performance.ย It will give you a different result.ย If you do not want to use an indicator in one strategy just do not include it. It really does not make sense to include indicators into a strategy and then to disable them.
If you want to backtest trading strategy with or without any indicator just make 2 Expert Advisors and compare them. This will be even better. If you switch ON and OFF indicators from a strategy you will never understand is that a profitable strategy or not. Your statistics will not be precise.

Participantas I said the idea is to have one default template same like in the picture and then use different good indicators with same template.
So how can I add on/off button in downloaded strategy or repository.
Petko Aleksandrov
ParticipantNo, there is such an option and explained to you why. There is no sense having such an option with OFF and ON.
The idea of the strategy builder is that you can export an unlimited number of EAs. Which means that if you want to make an indicator ”OFF”, you can just remove it from FSB Pro, and export the new strategy.

Participantgreat I thought I had to write some code in strategy for this,
And what about automatic magic number … that’s also not possible with FsB.
Petko Aleksandrov
ParticipantHello Mehreen,
you do not need to write any code, no need to have programming skills. This is how strategy builder work.
Automatic Magic Numbers are available with EA Studio. The thing when using automatic magic number is that you can not have really a logic into it. You can not group the EAs with assets, time frames, or anything else.
Petko Aleksandrov
ParticipantMan, you really do not need such an OFF/ON option. Why will you place indicator in a strategy and then select OFF??? Give me one reason for that and I will agree with you ๐
I do not know from where you took that picture but I am quite sure it is some quite smart guy who is selling Expert Advisors and he shared just some pictures…If this is the case do not bother trying to imitate his strategy because most probably it is not profitable in the first place. He is just selling it…
Petko Aleksandrov
ParticipantOne more thing here. If you see strategy with so many entry rules, that does not mean this is a good strategy. Even the opposite thing. We are looking for strategies that have fewer entry rules.
We have now the Normalizer at EA Studio which indeed reduces the trading rules. This way the Expert Advisors are faster, calculated easier, and the chance to have a delay in the entry are less.
When we backtest trading strategy we want to make it as fast as possible. Especially when we trade 100s of them simultaneously.

ParticipantActually from beginning question was … how to do these things with FsB.
Anyhow can you share your profitable strategy template in FsB.
Petko Aleksandrov
ParticipantHello Mehreen,
I told you already that there are no such templates with ON and OFF option because it is useless to have one.
The idea of FSB Pro and EA Studio strategy builder is actually to generate strategies over the Historical data of your broker. So give it a try, generate some strategies and see how it goes.
Regarding my strategies, I share many of them in my courses. Strategies with FSB Pro, you can find in the course Forex trading strategies from a professional trader + Top 5 professional EA

ParticipantHi Cone D,
What other methods can one use to identify Expert Advisors that are in the market entirely for the purpose of selling?
Stephen
ParticipantHi guys. I am a new trader and I’m not sure whether this question will make sense but I’ll give it a shot anyway. When using FSB Pro, is it possible to import and to improve the strategies that are created by Expert Advisor Studio?

ParticipantHello fellow traders. I have been trying to acquaint myself with both FSB Pro and EA Studio. Could someone please be kind enough to explain to me what the differences between the two are?
Petko Aleksandrov
ParticipantHello Johnbrown,
This is still not possible, but we expect it as an update in the future. However, if you generate strategy with EA Studio, you can build the same entry and exit conditions in FSB Pro, and analyze it further, add higher time frame filters, etc.
