Hey Tai,
Glad to hear from you. Which time frame are you talking about? For the extra 1000bars? I guess it is M30.
Because each day you have 48 bars on M30, and 20 days trading would be 960 new bars for the month. That is normal.
For the lower time frames, you should have more, and for the higher, you should have less.
Hello Veejay,
That is great info that you provide. Usually, the traders ask me questions with ver small information, and I just need to guess what they are doing 🙂
OK, from what I see, first, you are doing a great job! I think you understand clearly what you are doing.
Here is my opinion what might be stopping you from having more strategies in the collection:
1. The SL with option trailing. Give it a try with fixed. I don’t know why, but for me, it works better.
2. You have to lower the acceptance criteria. For example, just OOS 20% + Profit Factor 1.2 and Count of Trader 300. 500 is a lot for some currency pairs.
The process to figure out what is stopping you is the following:
1. Run the Reactor without any acceptance criteria(no monte Carlo) Just generator.
2. Start adding some criteria. For example, Profit Facto 1.1. See how it goes for 2-3 min. Add Profit Factor 1.2…it will start filtering more and more the strategies. Keep adding until you see a decent amount of strategies.
BUT For 600 min if you see 10 strategies. That is good enough. Sometimes I run multiple times the Reactor for 600min before I get 20-30 strategies. And that is the better thing, rather than having 100s and to waste time on Demo testing.
Hey Marek,
you want to say that you have removed with the “//” trick all the rest strategies in this Portfolio EA, and left just one strategy? And it doesn’t open trades?
Can you send me screenshots from the code where you did the “//” thing, and also from the journal?
Regards,
Ilan, you actually opened a great topic in the Forum. I will just change the name to “WishList for FSB Pro course”
It will be great if you and the other students point out things that you would like to see in that course.
This way, I will know what is not clear in the existing free course from the developer Mr. Popov, and I will improve it so it will be very useful to everyone.
Hey Ilan,
Good question!
FSB Pro is the more advanced and complicated software for the traders.
It has some more features that EA Studio doesn’t have (but the Reactor is with EA Studio, which is the treasure there).
FSB Pro has higher time frames, which I like the most. As you saw in the USDJPY course, the strategies trade on M5, for example, but I filter them on M30 and H1. This way, we can trade the smaller time frames but to filter on the higher. Or the opposite thing.
It has logical groups. It has the bridge to trade on MetaTrader(that was created long ago before having the EAs).
And something important to know. EA Studio opens the trades on the opening of the bar. While FSB Pro can open IN the bar, that matters a lot for some strategies.
It is good to have struck acceptance criteria and have fewer strategies. I prefer having one good EA instead of 50 that might not perform as I want.
What you can do is to loosen the acceptance criteria and just filter the EAs after that from the Collection by adding additional filters.
Cheers,
Hey Ilan,
A good question at the right time 🙂
I am planning to create 2 courses for FSB Pro. A free and basic one, and a bit more advanced one.
I already have recorded many courses for EA Studio…I think enough, so I will be just updating them, and re-recording the old ones which have bad audio.
I am planning to start working on the FSB Course just next month, and I will do my best to launch it by the end of July.

Hey Faraz,
Yes, the brokers regularly change the swaps depending on where the price goes. If it goes up, they will increase the swap for long positions and vice versa.
Anyway, I don’t pay attention to that. As you know, I use M15 and H1, and the trades usually get closed within the same day or the next few days, so the swap is not a big deal. Of course, if you use a regulated broker with standard swaps.
You can follow the swaps and change them from time to time, but I wouldn’t lose time with that.
No problem with transferring the EAs. They will recognize the open trades because of the Magic Numbers.
But make sure you stop the account on the local computer because if you keep them both open, you will see double trades opening.
Hey Marek,
Yes, Dukascopy guarantees that the data is the same on Demo and Live, that is why we used that data for the free app.
Is the issue only with one EA? And the others open trades on the live?
Does this EA include volume indicators?
Hello Veejay,
Actually, you need to check the box with Resolve Correlations before you run the Reactor. Not after that.
The generator generates strategies all the time and pushes the ones that pass the acceptance criteria in the collection.
The maximum is 100. When this number is reached, it keeps pushing, and in this 100 will come just better and better strategies until the end.
So they are not the same strategies staying in there.
I think what happened in this case, is that the generator found a great strategy with many correlated versions and non of the rest succeeded to show better results. When the generator was over, and you clicked to resolve the correlations, obviously you will be left just with a few.
So try again, but first, check the Resolve Correlations and after that run the reactor.
Also, check the tools if everything is fine.
Cheers,
We have already a topic about it:
Also, if you are looking for something, for example, VPS, you can write it down in the search tab in the Forum, and you will see if there are open topics.
Cheers,
Hey Leonard,
Probably your broker has closed the trade because of the small margin left or the exit condition in the EA applied. There is such an indicator in the EA.
That is why you need to remove the EA after the trade was opened.
And that is why Petko suggests always using just 1 EA with the NLF at a time as a beginning, and when you get used to it, you can start using more than 1.
Cheers,
Hey Ilan,
That is quite strange to have different results with the same EAs and same broker.
We usually don’t post publicly results because the traders accept it as a promise – they expect to have the same results. But as you know there is no guarantee that currently performing well, the EAs will continue well in the future.
However, in this case, there should be no difference…you can send your results via e-mail and we will try to compare it.
Cheers,
