Hello all,
I have been using EA Studio for some time now and here is what I think:
It has some great features as the Reactor, the Monte Carlo, Walk Forward and all statistics. But it was really hard for me to learn it all. I am not a person that is lazy but I was expecting that by having the one click to export the strategy makes it all easy. The thing is that there is a long way to go before reaching to that point 🙂
Anyway, now when I know what I am doing is easy and I really enjoy it. But it takes time and a huge desire to learn is needed!
Hello,
can someone help me with the diversification of the assets? How do you decide which currency pairs to use and how to combine them. I do not want to have exposure on one or two but to be the same for all. I am planning to trade with about 10 EAs on 1k account with 0.01. Is that fine? Thanks!
Thanks for the captions, Petko! I was planning to go over all the courses again, but I will wait for the captions so I am sure I do not miss a thing.
Hello Thapelo,
Glad to hear that the captions will be useful. Sometimes I talk a bit faster during the videos and it could be that some words are not clear.
Anyway, we will do our best to upload them for all the courses as soon as possible.
Hello, guys, recently we had an update with the EA Studio which combines the OOS and the Walk forward. I will do my best to record a video about it until the end of the week.
Hello Thapelo,
I think what Bob was talking about is the manual robustness check you can do even with the MetaTrader backtester.
When you are ready with the backtest, just change some of the parameters with a small step as 1-2 points and do the backtest again. If you see a dramatic change in the Equity line, that gives a sign for over-optimization. Basically, we do the Monte Carlo manually 🙂
Hello Thapelo,
the more and more get shut down. The problem is they already have a lot of money and it is very easy for them to move to another country, open new offices, hire new people and continue the work.
Hey Andi,
actually, there are many other reasons why people lose, but I have tried to cover the most important ones.
Hello Haliffa,
yes, this is one of the things I liked the most at the beginning when I was choosing which software to work with. I saw they update it constantly, and I am happy they keep on doing so.
Hey, guys, you are quite correct that with algorithmic trading we do not need to monitor the news daily. But I would suggest you keep an eye when there is very important news which reflects a lot the market. These are NFP, Interest rates changes, situations like Brexit. These might crucially affect your trading. Because they create volatile moves which might have positive but at the same time negative effect on your account. In these cases, it goes to 50/50, so I prefer to lower the volume at these moments.
I think this is why there are the robustness tools, exactly to check if the strategy goes to over-optimization. They updated recently the Walk-Forward with the segments just to see if the strategy is optimized too much or not.
Bob, can you make it clear, please, what trick from Petko you are talking about? I have missed it…
Hello Petko,
it is great to hear you are adding captions. My English is not very good and it will be very useful to me. Thanks!
