Hey Roman,
you are very right here, OOS is very important, but once again the update now changed it a lot. We have the chance to choose acceptance criteria for the In Sample and for the Out Of Sample. Before it was for the complete backtest.
Personally, before the update, I did not use a lot the OOS. Simply because we were choosing the acceptance criteria for the complete backtest. So no matter what was OOS showing we were able to decide which strategy to use based on the whole test. Now we have it separately. This way we can choose what criteria to have in the generated part(In Sample), and what Training part(Out of Sample) to choose.
With simple words, now we really have the chance to simulate Demo trading with OOS.
Hey Roman,
did you use EAs without SL? If you did, you need to keep in mind that those trades might last for longer. If you want to have faster trading, look for strategies with smaller TP and SL.

Hello Thyago,
which system are you using exactly? Did you generate strategies by yourself or you used the strategies from my courses?
There are statistics now for the months in EA Studio for each strategy. Click on Report and scroll down:
Guys, be very strict with risk management. Concentrate on the strategies you create, and push yourself to make them better. Leave the account to go with the flow with small lots. 50% drawdown is really huge!
Hello Ossaio,
if you have a starting point in the script, you will still need to adjust it for each time frame. Starting at 01.01.2017, for example, will be a different count of bars for all time frames. So you will still need to calculate it.
Basically, when we generate strategies we focus on the count of bars because this is in correlation with the count of trades.
Or you want to use the last 5 years for all time frames? If so, just what Sisi says will work best for you. Set starting point in FSB Pro or EA Studio.
Hey Jacpin,
I am very happy to see your replay. Thank you so so much! You are a very open-minded person, and already you are very skillful.
I am going to use the written as a basic guide because I really really need to organize myself. I have the Optimal Pack from over 4-5 months now, and I know that things will not happen if I do not put some effort into it.
When you say that you do not tolerate more than 20% drawdown in your live account, are you talking about single EA performance or for the whole account?
No one likes losing money 🙂 I already saw that profits are possible with what Petko teaches in the courses, and by having EA Studio and FSB Pro, just I need a strong plan to stick with.
Hello Ossaio.
What you can do is to export all the data, and then from EA Studio, you can set the starting date. It will be easier for you.
Hello Jacpin,
I really like that you have a clear plan and it sounds like you know what you are doing.
My problem is that I can not put the work together. I succeed to create some great EAs with EA Studio and FSB Pro for quite a long time now, but I can not build properly the portfolio. Also, I feel that I am taking a too big risk, and sometimes I get huge drawdowns.
O one more thing…he teaches how to avoid the scam brokers in his courses. I Was scammed and I really appreciate that his videos helped me realize the mistake.
I have said it a couple of times in the Forum, that the courses of Petko are ridiculously cheeped. All he does here should be much appreciated.
I took trading education some time ago which was above 1800 pounds, and it was complete crap. I can not compare it even to a single course from Petko.
O, Petko, I will be waiting for this course! I read about one of your methods on the forum, but never got into details about it. Sometimes I do not have the patience with demo testing, so I hope you launch it soon!
Hello Jie!
Glad to hear you were doing such a good job over the months! You are welcome, I will do my best to keep up the work, and update the courses with better and better EAs.
Yes, my testing over the years showed that we should be more concentrated on the recent week or two. And there is no precise solution to that. What you need to accept is a trader is that the market changes. I know you know that everyone knows that. But at the same time, everyone looks for the strategy that will work consistently over time.
Same when we trade with Expert Advisors. We want to find this best period to test the EAs, this best acceptance criteria, and this best method to filter the strategies which we can use in time. But again, the market changes. So it is really all about testing and testing, and if you find now that looking at the last week will bring you better results, that might not be the best after a couple of months.
So what you are doing is just great, keep it up, always have in mind to look for the better and better solution. This way you will go with the market.
